Agroecological transition in Madrid’s extensive livestock systems
In the Mediterranean region, the industrialization of livestock systems, driven by the replacement of extensive pasture-based systems with intensive input-dependent models, has triggered environmental degradation and socio-cultural changes. The transition of livestock systems toward agroecological practices can reduce external dependencies, enhance ecosystem contributions and strengthen socioecological resilience. This study analyzes experts’ per…
A Methodological Pathway for Supporting the Transition From Theory to Practice in Action‐Oriented Research for Transformative Change
Over recent decades, action‐oriented research has gained prominence in co‐producing actionable knowledge to drive transformative change toward sustainability. However, further methodological developments are needed to support the transition to the application phase of such knowledge. This study presents a novel methodological pathway applied through two identical workshops in two case studies within the Spanish drylands. Grounded in previously co…
Contributions of Net-Map to sustainability action research
Net-Map, an interview-based network mapping tool, has been applied across various scientific fields and purposes since its inception to study networks of influence. In this article, we first review the general uses and limitations of Net-Map and then share experiential knowledge gained from using Net-Map to develop an action-oriented research process focused on envisioning pathways to sustainable futures in Spanish drylands. Drawing from the lite…
Unstable bridges—exploring the possibilities for “in between” spaces amidst divergent narratives in environmental governance
Social-ecological systems increasingly face polarization dynamics that challenge environmental governance. Such polarization implies the development of opposing narratives with limited interaction, each framing environmental problems and solutions in distinct ways. In this study, we analyze a case of narrative polarization around the eutrophication crises of the Mar Menor lagoon in Spain, focusing on how proposed solutions are narrated to address…
The multifaceted spectra of power − A participatory network analysis on power structures in diverse dryland regions
Bringing three empirical cases to the study of conflict and collaboration. • Contributing to the theoretical literature on sources of power by pushing the state of the art on environmental change politics. • Filling research gap by focusing on traditionally neglected actors levels of power in formal and informal network settings. • Innovative methodological approach through emphasizing qualitative social network analysis whilst emphasizing co-pro…

Applying the Three Horizons approach in local and regional scenarios to support policy coherence in SDG implementation
Policy coherence across governance scales is needed for SDG implementation. • An adaptation version of Three Horizons identifies and compares local/regional themes. • Similar/dissimilar themes across scales can assist in harmonizing policy priorities. • Associations between strategies’ themes can help coordinate action across scales. • The approach can support policy coherence for advancing SDG implementation. The Three Horizons for the Sustainab…
What is the Problem of Gender Inequality Represented to be in Inter-National Development Policy in Burkina Faso
This article contributes to critical policy analysis scholarship from a post-structuralism perspective.Employing the 'What's the problem represented to be' (WPR) framework, a Foucault-influenced post-structural approach, we investigate what is the problem of Gender Inequality (GI) represented to be in development in Burkina Faso.Based on systematic analysis of selected (inter)national development policy documents and in-depth stakeholder intervie…
Transdisciplinary learning as a key leverage for sustainability transformations
Learning and transdisciplinary research are widely acknowledged as key components for achieving sustainability; however, the links between these concepts remain vague in the sustainability literature. Recently, emphasis has been given to transdisciplinary learning, highlighting its potential as an approach that contributes to solving real-world problems. To better understand and foster transdisciplinary learning for sustainability transformations…
What factors enable social-ecological transformative potential? The role of learning practices, empowerment, and networking
Achieving sustainability in the Anthropocene requires radical changes to how human societies operate. The Seeds of Good Anthropocenes (SOGA) project has identified a diverse set of existing initiatives, called “seeds,” that have the potential to catalyze transformations toward more sustainable pathways. However, the empirical investigation of factors and conditions that enable successful sustainability transformations across multiple cases has be…
Amplifying actions for food system transformation
Food is essential to people and is one of the main ways in which people are connected to the world’s ecosystems. However, food systems often cause ecosystem degradation and produce ill-health, which has generated increasing calls to transform food systems to be more sustainable. The Swedish food system is currently undergoing substantial change. A varied set of local actors have created alternative sustainability initiatives that enact new ways o…
What is the ‘problem’ of gender inequality represented to be in the Swedish forest sector
Gender equality in natural resource management is a matter of sustainability and democracy for Sweden’s government, however the country’s forest remains a highly gender-segregated sector. We examine how gender inequality is problematized within Swedish forest and rural policy documents using the What’s the problem represented to be? (WPR) approach. We build on previous efforts to investigate gender inequality in the forest sector by expanding the…
Assessing nature-based solutions for transformative change
When the whole is less than the sum of all parts – Tracking global-level impacts of national sustainability initiatives
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are described as integrated and indivisible, where sustainability challenges must be addressed across sectors and scales to achieve global-level sustainability. However, SDG monitoring mostly focuses on tracking progress at national-levels, for each goal individually. This approach ignores local and cross-border impacts of national policies and assumes that global-level progress is the sum …
Indigenous and local knowledge in environmental management for human-nature connectedness
Indigenous peoples are key actors for environmental management because they hold valuable indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) for the sustainable stewardship of nature. However, the consideration of ILK in environmental management is still limited. We explore how environmental government institutions in Colombia have involved indigenous communities in 2212 environmental management projects between 2004 and 2015. Only 1% of these projects involve…
Building capacities for transformative change towards sustainability
Scenario development has been recognized as a potential method to explore future change and stimulate a reflective process that can contribute to more informed decision-making. The assessment process under IPBES (the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) has however shown that the current predominantly biophysical and economic models and scenario processes for exploring the future of biodiversity, ecosy…
Local lens for SDG implementation
The Anthropocene presents a set of interlinked sustainability challenges for humanity. The United Nations 2030 Agenda has identified 17 specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a way to confront these challenges. However, local initiatives have long been addressing issues connected to these goals in a myriad of diverse and innovative ways. We present a new approach to assess how local initiatives contribute to achieving the SDGs. We analy…
Seeds of good anthropocenes
Scenario development helps people think about a broad variety of possible futures; however, the global environmental change community has thus far developed few positive scenarios for the future of the planet and humanity. Those that have been developed tend to focus on the role of a few common, large-scale external drivers, such as technology or environmental policy, even though pathways of positive change are often driven by surprising or botto…

When Policies Problematize the Local
We examine social-environmental justice in forest governance by asking who is problematized as drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. We adapt Bacchi’s “What is the problem represented to be” approach to the community forest (CAF) model in Burkina Faso and the Payment for Forest Environmental Services (PFES) in Vietnam and examine the implementation of these policies in specific sites through disaggregated focus group discussions (men, …
