Borgström, Sara, N. Oreskovic, N. Linder, M. Svensdotter, M. Schewenius, A. Emmelin, M. Tuvendal. 2017. Lokala initiativ – en outnyttjad potential i Stockholmsregionens arbete för hållbar utveckling pp. In Boren, T. (Eds.) Urban utveckling och interaktioner. 189-212.
Bodin Ö., B.I. Crona. 2017. Social Networks: Uncovering Social–Ecological (Mis)matches in Heterogeneous Marine Landscapes. In: Gergel S., M. Turner. (Eds.) Learning Landscape Ecology. Springer, New York, NY pp 325-340. doi:10.1007/978-1-4939-6374-4_20
Ecological and socioeconomic processes often operate over different spatial and temporal scales. This can lead to increased risks of resource misuse and overexploitation if management is not well aligned with ecological processes operating in the landscape. One important way to ensure better alignment of social and ecological processes is through improved communication among relevant stakeholders operating at different scales ...
Andersson E., S. Borgström, T. McPhearson. 2017. Double Insurance in Dealing with Extremes: Ecological and Social Factors for Making Nature-Based Solutions Last. In Kabisch N., H. Korn, J. Stadler, A. Bonn. (Eds.) Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change Adaptation in Urban Areas. Theory and Practice of Urban Sustainability Transitions. Springer. doi:10.1007/978-3-319-56091-5_4
This open access book brings together research findings and experiences from science, policy and practice to highlight and debate the importance of nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation in urban areas. Emphasis is given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits for society. The expert contributions present recommendations for creating synergies between ongoing policy processes, scien...

Schewenius, M., P. Keränen, R. al Rawaf. (Eds.) 2017. Dreams and Seeds: The role of campuses in sustainable urban development. Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and Stockholm Resilience Centre.
The role of universities is changing, expanding from being purely education and research institutions towards one of being active partners in local and regional urban development. As incubators for knowledge development, critical thinking, and innovations, universities and campuses are becoming increasingly important for identifying, designing, and implementing pathways to sustainable urban development. The project Live Baltic...

Zemp, D.C., C-F. Schleussner, H.M.J. Barbosa, M. Hirota, V. Montade, G. Sampaio, A. Staal, L. Wang-Erlandsson, A. Rammig. 2017. Self-amplified Amazon forest loss due to vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks. Nature Communications 8: 14681.
Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation–atmosphere feedback for the stability of the Amazon forest are still unclear. Here we show that the risk of self-amplified Amazon forest loss increases nonlinearly with dry-season intensification. We apply a novel complex-network approach, in which Amazon forest patches are l...
Wong, G.Y., L. Loft, M. Brockhaus, A.L. Yang, T.T. Pham, S. Assembe-Mvondo, C. Luttrell. 2017. An assessment framework for benefit sharing mechanisms to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation within a forest policy mix. Environmental Policy and Governance 27(5): 436-452.
Policy instruments for implementing the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+) mechanism operate within an orchestra of policy mixes that affect the forest and other land sectors. How will policymakers choose between the myriad of options for distributing REDD+ benefits, and be able to evaluate its potential effectiveness, efficiency and equity (3Es)? Th...
Wiedermann, M., J.F. Donges, D. Handorf, J. Kurths, R.V. Donner. 2017. Hierarchical structures in Northern Hemispheric extratropical winter ocean-atmosphere interactions. International Journal of Climatology 37(10): 3821-3836.
In recent years extensive studies on the Earth's climate system have been carried out by means of advanced complex network statistics. The great majority of these studies, however, have been focusing on investigating correlation structures within single climatic fields directly on or parallel to the Earth's surface. Here, we develop a novel approach of node weighted coupled network measures to study correlations between ocean ...
Wiedermann, M., J.F. Donges, J. Kurths, R.V. Donner. 2017. Mapping and discrimination of networks in the complexity-entropy plane. Physical Review E 96(4): 42304.
Complex networks are usually characterized in terms of their topological, spatial, or information-theoretic properties and combinations of the associated metrics are used to discriminate networks into different classes or categories. However, even with the present variety of characteristics at hand it still remains a subject of current research to appropriately quantify a network's complexity and correspondingly discriminate b...
Wernli, D., P.S. Jorgensen, C.M. Morel, S. Carroll, S. Harbarth, N. Levrat, D. Pittet. 2017. Mapping global policy discourse on antimicrobial resistance. Bmj Global Health 2(2): UNSP e000378.
The rising importance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to the global health agenda is associated with a growing number of parties voicing their concern about the issue. With more recommendations and policies appearing, understanding the policy process requires making sense of the views, values, interests and goals of each participant. Policy frame analysis provides a method to understand both the scientific view and the actio...
Wernli, D., P.S. Jorgensen, S. Harbarth, S.P. Carroll, R. Laxminarayan, N. Levrat, J.A. Rottingen, D. Pittet. 2017. Antimicrobial resistance: the complex challenge of measurement to inform policy and the public. Plos Medicine 14(8): e1002378.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing in a wide range of pathogens, causing morbidity and mortality globally, and threatening modern medicine. While the long-term impact of AMR on human societies remains uncertain [ 1 ], the conservation of antimicrobials’ effectiveness has become an urgent priority. Tackling this ubiquitous problem requires coordination among countries and across sectors that include human and animal ...
