Hänkea, H., Hylander, K., Enfors-Kautsky, E. 2016. Drought tolerant species dominate as rainfall and tree cover returns in the West African Sahel. Land Use Policy Volume 59, 31 December 2016, Pages 111-120, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2016.08.023
After the severe droughts in the 1970s and 1980s, and subsequent debates about desertification, analyses of satellite images reveal that the West African Sahel has become greener again. In this paper we report a study on changes in tree cover and tree species composition in three village landscapes in northern Burkina Faso, based on a combination of methods: tree density change detection using aerial photos and satellite image...
Reyers, B., Lee-Moore, M. et.al. 2016. Development in the Anthropocene: The role of resilience. Guidance for Resilience in the Anthropocene: Investments for Development (GRAID), Stockholm Resilience Centre
The Anthropocene changes how we must think about our world and the planet we live on. It has profound implications for development. These implications are emerging rapidly as we understand the full scale of human dimension, long-term consequences, and risks to Earth’s biosphere – the living part of Earth within which humans and our societies are embedded. Recent evidence has highlighted three novel challenges that the Anthropo...

Liljenström, Hans & Svedin, Uno. 2016. Towards a Fossil-Free Society - in the Stockholm-Mälar Region. 10.13140/RG.2.2.36656.97284.
This volume describes the “Swedish part” (WP4) of the EU project COMPLEX, which has been dealing with pathways to a low carbon society with the Stockholm-Mälar region in focus. COMPLEX started on 1 October 2012 and ended after four years, on 30 September 2016. The central theme of the WP4 research has been to use the Stockholm-Mälar region as a sort of a “laboratory” for modelling and stake-holder interactions, but also for pr...
Vierikko, K., B. Elands, J. Niemela, E. Andersson, A. Buijs, L.K. Fischer, D. Haase, N. Kabisch, I. Kowarik, A.C. Luz, A.O. Stahl, L. Szaraz, A. Van der Jagt, C.K. van den Bosch. 2016. Considering the ways biocultural diversity helps enforce the urban green infrastructure in times of urban transformation. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability 22: 7-12.
Traditionally, biocultural diversity (BCD) has been researched in non-western and indigenous societies. Recently, it has also been applied in urbanized and industrialized societies, in particular for the planning and management of urban green infrastructure (UGI). Diversity in human and biological systems is considered to support cities’ adaptation capacity. However, diversity might also increase the risk of conflicts. In this...

Olsson, G. Silvestri, R. Stedman, J. Wittmayer, R. Durrant, F. Rauschmayer. 2016. Elucidating the changing roles of civil society in urban sustainability transitions. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability 22: 41-50.
Understanding the diversifying role of civil society in Europe’s sustainability pathway is a valid proposition both scientifically and socially. Civil society organisations already play a significant role in the reality of cities, what remains to be explored is the question: what is the role of civil society in the future sustainability of European cities? We first examine the novelty of new forms of civil society organization...
Larsson, M., Milestad, R., Hahn, T., von Oelreich, J. 2016. The resilience of a sustainability entrepreneur in the Swedish food system. Sustainability 8, 550. doi:10.3390/su8060550
Organizational resilience emphasizes the adaptive capacity for renewal after crisis. This paper explores the sustainability and resilience of a not-for-profit firm that claims to contribute to sustainable development of the food system. We used semi-structured interviews and Holling’s adaptive cycle as a heuristic device to assess what constitutes social and sustainable entrepreneurship in this case, and we discuss the determi...
Hänke, H., J. Barkmann, C. Coral, E. Enfors Kaustky, and R. Marggraf. 2017. Social-ecological traps hinder rural development in southwestern Madagascar. Ecology and Society 22(1):42.https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09130-220142
The semiarid Mahafaly region in southwestern Madagascar is not only a unique biodiversity hotspot, but also one of the poorest regions in the world. Crop failures occur frequently, and despite a great number of rural development programs, no effective progress in terms of improved yields, agricultural income, or well-being among farming households has been observed. In addition to the severe development challenges in the regi...

In 2014, the Third International Conference on the resilience of social-ecological systems chose the theme “resilience and development: mobilizing for transformation.” The conference aimed specifically at fostering an encounter between the experiences and thinking focused on the issue of resilience through a social and ecological system perspective, and the experiences focused on the issue of resilience through a development ...
