Aguiar, A.P., Collste, D., Harmáckova, Z.V., Pereira, L., Selomane, O. et. al. 2020. Co-designing global target-seeking scenarios: A cross-scale participatory process for capturing multiple perspectives on pathways to sustainability. Global Environmental Change, Volume 65, November 2020, 102198, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2020.102198
The United Nations 2030 Agenda catalysed the development of global target-seeking sustainability-oriented scenarios representing alternative pathways to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Implementing the SDGs requires connected actions across local, national, regional, and global levels; thus, target-seeking scenarios need to reflect alternative options and tensions across those scales. We argue that the design o...
Fischer, H., van den Broek, K.L., Ramisch, K., Okan Y. 2020. When IPCC graphs can foster or bias understanding: evidence among decision-makers from governmental and non-governmental institutions. Environmental Research Letters, Volume 15, Number 11
To develop effective climate change policy, decision-makers need to have the best possible understanding of the available climate science. The IPCC Assessment Reports therefore aim to lay the foundation for informed political decision-making by providing policy-relevant information. But how successful are IPCC reports at communicating key findings? Although IPCC reports display key information in graphs, the interpretation of ...
Evans, T.J., Young, R.C., Watson, H, Olsson, O., Åkesson, S. 2020. Effects of back‐mounted biologgers on condition, diving and flight performance in a breeding seabird. Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 51, Issue 11, November 2020, https://doi.org/10.1111/jav.02509
Biologging devices are providing detailed insights into the behaviour and movement of animals in their natural environments. It is usually assumed that this method of gathering data does not impact on the behaviour observed. However, potential negative effects on birds have rarely been investigated before field‐based studies are initiated. Seabirds which both fly and use pursuit diving may be particularly sensitive to increase...
Hill, R., Walsh, F.J., Davies, J., Sparrow, A., Rooney, M. et.al. 2020. Knowledge co-production for Indigenous adaptation pathways: Transform post-colonial articulation complexes to empower local decision-making. Global Environmental Change Volume 65, November 2020, 102161, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2020.102161
Co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge has been identified as useful to generating adaptation pathways with Indigenous peoples, who are attached to their traditional lands and thus highly exposed to the impacts of climate change. However, ignoring the complex and contested histories of nation-state colonisation can result in naïve adaptation plans that increase vulnerability. Here, through a case study in ce...
Nohrstedt, D., Bodin, Ö. 2020. Collective Action Problem Characteristics and Partner Uncertainty as Drivers of Social Tie Formation in Collaborative Networks. Policy Studies Journal, Volume 48, Issue 4, November 2020, Pages 1082-1108, https://doi.org/10.1111/psj.12309
The effectiveness of collaboration is often explained by the alignment of social networks with collective‐action problem characteristics, yet previous research on social tie formation has focused almost exclusively on actor and relational attributes. We theorize that collective‐action problem characteristics together with actor and relational attributes explain social tie formation and that the relative effect of these factors...
Venter, Z.S., Shackleton, C.M., Van Staden, F., Selomane, O., Masterson, V.A. 2020. Green Apartheid: Urban green infrastructure remains unequally distributed across income and race geographies in South Africa. Landscape and Urban Planning Volume 203, November 2020, 103889, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103889
Urban green infrastructure provides ecosystem services that are essential to human wellbeing. A dearth of national-scale assessments in the Global South has precluded the ability to explore how political regimes, such as the forced racial segregation in South Africa during and after Apartheid, have influenced the extent of and access to green infrastructure over time. We investigate whether there are disparities in green infr...
Pellowe, K.E., Leslie, H.M. 2020. The interplay between formal and informal institutions and the potential for co-management in a Mexican small-scale fishery. Marine Policy Volume 121, November 2020, 104179, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2020.104179
Understanding how institutions operate is crucial to the protection of marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. We define institutions as the rules, norms, and practices that govern resource users’ interactions with common-pool resources, and recognize that both formal and informal institutions govern marine fisheries around the world. Institutional diversity can enhance social-ecological system resilience by...
Clements, H.S., Biggs, R., Cumming, G.S. 2020. Cross-scale and social-ecological changes constitute main threats to private land conservation in South Africa. Journal of Environmental Management Volume 274, 15 November 2020, 111235, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111235
Conserving biodiversity in the long term will depend in part on the capacity of Protected Areas (PAs) to cope with cross-scale, social-ecological disturbances and changes, which are becoming more frequent in a highly connected world. Direct threats to biodiversity within PAs and their interactions with broader-scale threats are both likely to vary with PA spatial and management characteristics (e.g., location, dependence on ec...
Fazey, I., Schäpke, N., Caniglia, G., Hodgson, A. et.al. 2020. Transforming knowledge systems for life on Earth: Visions of future systems and how to get there. Energy Research & Social Science Volume 70, December 2020, 101724, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2020.101724
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what future env...
Wernli, D., Jørgensen, P.S, Parmley, E.J., Troell, M. et.al. 2020. Evidence for action: a One Health learning platform on interventions to tackle antimicrobial resistance. The Lancet Infectous Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 12, E307-311, December 01, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(20)30392-3
Improving evidence for action is crucial to tackle antimicrobial resistance. The number of interventions for antimicrobial resistance is increasing but current research has major limitations in terms of efforts, methods, scope, quality, and reporting. Moving the agenda forwards requires an improved understanding of the diversity of interventions, their feasibility and cost–benefit, the implementation factors that shape and und...
