Using the three horizons approach to explore pathways towards positive futures for agricultural landscapes with rich biodiversitySustainability Science - Tập 18 - Trang 1271-1289 - 2023
Tamara Schaal, Michael Mitchell, Ben C. Scheele, Paul Ryan, Jan Hanspach
In light of the global challenges of the Anthropocene, including biodiversity loss, there are increasing calls for positive, inspirational futures to motivate action and help steer away from current, largely unsustainable trajectories. The three horizons framework is an approach in future studies that engages with normative futures and helps develop pathways towards them. However, this approach ha...... hiện toàn bộ
Conceptualizing the transfer of knowledge across cases in transdisciplinary researchSustainability Science - Tập 13 - Trang 179-190 - 2017
Carolina Adler, Gertrude Hirsch Hadorn, Thomas Breu, Urs Wiesmann, Christian Pohl
Transdisciplinary (TD) research is increasingly suggested as a means of tackling wicked problems by providing knowledge on solutions that serve as pathways towards sustainable development. In contrast to research striving for generalizable findings, TD research produces insights for a particular case and context. TD researchers, who build on other TD projects’ results, need to know under what cond...... hiện toàn bộ
Creative destruction in academia: a time to reimagine practices in alignment with sustainability valuesSustainability Science - Tập 18 - Trang 2769-2775 - 2023

Academia has experienced acceleration and expansion in parallel with the Great Acceleration, which has shaped the Anthropocene. Among other pressures, the expectation to be internationally mobile conflicts with many values held by sustainability scholars and results in disillusionment. The changes in the academic system can be seen through the framework of the adaptive cycle, which can help us und...... hiện toàn bộ
A global analysis of the drivers of human pressure within protected areas at the national levelSustainability Science - Tập 15 - Trang 1223-1232 - 2020
Christos Mammides
Global conservation efforts rely largely on effective protected areas. Recently, it was shown that one-third of the world’s protected land is under intense human pressure. However, this proportion varies substantially across countries. Some countries are more successful than others in keeping their protected areas relatively free from intense human pressure. In this study, I explore the possible r...... hiện toàn bộ
Selection of indicators as a tool for negotiating objectives and evaluating targets within participatory monitoringSustainability Science - Tập 15 - Trang 1051-1065 - 2020

Information that is generated through the inclusion of different knowledge sources as a process of intensive negotiation, and mutual learning, is essential for adaptive co-management. To determine if participatory monitoring is fostering social learning and contributing to adaptive co-management, we propose a process of selection and assessment of environmental learning objectives and indicators. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Unveiling global sustainability boundaries: exploring inner dimensions of human critical determinants for sustainabilitySustainability Science - - 2024
Filipe Duarte Santos, Tim O’Riordan, Miguel Rocha de Sousa, Jiesper Tristan Strandsbjerg Pedersen
Greater global awareness and action to implement sustainable development are underway. However, global progress towards sustainability has been slow. Advancing towards some form of sustainability requires greater attention and analysis of the role played by the human inner world. While the scientific analytic tools have focused on external aspects, we present a scientific methodology to identify h...... hiện toàn bộ
