Balancing density and open space provision towards sustainable compact cities: Evidence from São Paulo, Brasília and Berlin
Theatre of the Innova(c)tors: An Interactive Theatre Tool to Create Transformative Spaces
Complex sustainability challenges call for transformative spaces where participants are encouraged to move away from conventional thinking. Arts-based and embodied practices can enable new encounters with the world and new forms of meaning-making. We introduce the Theatre of the Innova(c)tors, an interactive theatre tool that encourages reflexivity and learning by creating transformative spaces. Inspired by the techniques of Theatre of the Oppres…
Exploring human-nature relationships in academic literature on the nitrogen cycle
The nitrogen (N) cycle is a familiar concept. As is the much simplified, often diagrammatic, representation commonly used to illustrate the scale, importance and interconnectedness of this global cycle that links air, water, rocks and living beings. However, in this representation, humans are often presented as a seemingly minor entity or not explicitly shown at all. This can obscure the idea that humanity is both a direct beneficiary of the nitr…
Atlas da Região de Carajás: Uma Introdução
A proposta de um Atlas da Região de Carajás é resultado do projeto de pesquisa "Produção de subsídios à formulação de políticas públicas para a Região de Carajás". O objetivo é produzir um atlas com diversos produtos cartográficos, que permita espacializar os principais elementos e relações da produção da Região de Carajás. O sentido é fornecer subsídios à produção de políticas públicas convergentes com a realidade regional concreta, bem como ser…

Remote sensing in urban planning: Contributions towards ecologically sound policies
Remote sensing has evolved to become a key tool for various fields of environmental analysis, thus actively informing policy across areas and domains. To evaluate the degree to which remote sensing is contributing to the science of ecologically-oriented urban planning, we carried out a systematic literature review using the SCOPUS database, searching for articles integrating knowledge in urban planning, remote sensing and ecology. We reviewed 186…
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the Ipbes science-policy platform
The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures insights from ecosystem services (ES) researchers and practitioners, largely drawing from the European context (referred to herein as ‘ES community’), on this key science–policy interface. We synthesize reflections from a workshop…

Pathways of demographic and urban development and their effects on land take and ecosystem services: The case of Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal
Mainstreaming Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation in Urban Governance and Planning
The concept of mainstreaming climate change adaptation to foster sustainable urban development and resilience is receiving increasing interest. In particular, the need to mainstream ecosystem- or nature-based solutions into urban governance and planning is widely advocated by both academic and governmental bodies. Adaptation mainstreaming is the inclusion of climate risk considerations in sector policy and practice. It is motivated by the need to…

The impact of water quality changes on the socio-economic system of the Guadiana Estuary: An Assessment of Management Options
Guimarães, M. E., A. Mascarenhas, C. Sousa, T. Boski, and T. Ponce Dentinho. 2012. The impact of water quality changes on the socio-economic system of the Guadiana Estuary: an assessment of management options. Ecology and Society 17(3): 38. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05318-170338
A framework for regional sustainability assessment: Developing indicators for a Portuguese region
Regional sustainability indicators are increasingly being developed. Their significance becomes obvious when important public policy‐making strategies are decentralized to regions or local governments. This research designed a framework for the development of regional sustainability indicators. Its main goal is to assess and report regional sustainability performance, incorporating a significant public participation component. When the proposed a…
