The roles of actors in nature-positive transformations
Nature positive is gaining momentum as a global goal to halt and reverse nature loss. Yet the scale and pace of action are inadequate to curb accelerating biodiversity decline, threatening the foundations of economies and society. Applying sustainability transitions frameworks, we map key system actors to conceptualise their drivers, barriers, interactions and roles they can play to overcome institutional constraints and advance six nature transf…
Business ecosystems and sustainability transitions in forest landscapes: A case study in British Columbia, Canada
Empirical understanding of sustainability transitions in forestry offers unexplored and important insights into how change happens in forest landscapes. In British Columbia, Canada, the provincial government is taking steps to transform the way forests contribute to societal, environmental, and economic value. Policy reforms aim to support local stewardship and enterprises for a more diverse , competitive , and innovative forest sector. We explor…
Anticipatory governance for responsible investment in energy transition minerals in the Western Congo Basin
Energy transition minerals could transform the Western Congo Basin. • Supporting anticipatory governance can guide responsible investment. • Learning from past and emerging initiatives can help to develop capabilities. • Just and sustainable futures require strengthening institutional capability. Demand for Energy Transition Minerals and Metals (ETMs) for clean energy technologies is driving a new wave of investment in mining. Many African countr…
Grounding critical minerals in values-centred approaches for just sustainability transitions
Growing demand for critical minerals to accelerate a global energy transition presents new challenges and opportunities for responsible mine exploration and mine development. Social innovations have not kept pace with investment in mineral development, putting the wellbeing and rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities at risk. Historical and ongoing injustices mean that without pro-active attention to these issues, critical mineral deve…
Dreaming of wetscapes: Waking to the realities of restoration
Common ground: Integrated landscape approaches and small and medium forest enterprises for vibrant forest landscapes
Governance challenges to landscape restoration in Indonesia
An island in transition: Governing conservation and development in Seram, Indonesia
Seram is Indonesia's 8th largest island. It is central to the historic spice islands, once a hotbed for international trade of profitable tree‐products, primarily clove and nutmeg. Recent increased rates of social and ecological change, including costly conflicts, present Seram with new challenges and opportunities for conservation and development. Using place‐based transdisciplinary research methods, we diagnose the problems emerging in Seram. E…
