Learning to transform: Insights from an organic reduced tillage project in Uruguay
Open AccessMorgane Batkai, J J Stoorvogel et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Agricultural…2026
Purpose This study examines learning processes within a reduced tillage project in Uruguay. We explored the interplay of instrumental, communicative, and emotional learning in a multi-stakeholder collaborative project and analyzed related action outcomes.Methodology This research employed qualitative methods, combining semi-structured interviews and a nominal group technique workshop. We analyzed the data through the lens of transformative learni…
Public perceptions of mangroves: A sentiment and topic analysis of global Twitter/X content
Open AccessLayla Olefs, Mark Simpson et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2026
Social media has emerged as a prominent factor in shaping public perceptions. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the complex interplay between social media and human-nature relationships, including for mangrove ecosystems. We assessed how mangroves have been discussed and perceived on social media by analysing 649,495 Twitter/X posts between 2010 and 2022. Using NRC and AFINN lexicons, we found a prominence of positive senti…
Unpacking adaptation lock-ins: Explaining the persistence of the adaptation gap
Open AccessNicolas W Jager, Meghan Alexander et al.ARTICLEEarth System Governance2026References: 19
Climate change adaptation is increasingly outpaced by accelerating climate risks, resulting in a persistent and widening adaptation gap. Many current interventions remain incremental and insufficient, failing to address the scale of transformation required. We argue that this shortfall is best understood through the concept of adaptation lock-ins—systemic constraints that both cause and result from maladaptation. These lock-ins generate self-rein…

Identifying success factors for integrated coastal zone management: Development of a regional coastal plan in Morocco
Open AccessAnte Ivčević, Daria Povh Škugor et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025References: 4
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is a policy framework that aims to achieve sustainable development in the context of limited space and resources of (densely populated) coastal areas, by balancing environmental protection, societal needs, and economic development. In this paper, we first reflect on key components influencing the success of ICZM. Second, we compare our understanding to the process of preparation of a coastal plan for the …
Barriers and Enablers to Blue Carbon Projects in Africa: A Horizon Scan Analysis
Open AccessDerrick Omollo, Peter I Macreadie et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2025References: 2
Africa's ‘blue carbon ecosystems’ are increasingly recognised for their role in climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, with existing carbon offset projects showcasing their potential to sequester carbon and support community livelihoods. Despite this promise, blue carbon (BC) projects remain scarce across Africa. Understanding the barriers to BC implementation is therefore critical for unlocking their po…

Knowledge exchange between practitioners for the purpose of co-creating nature-based solutions
Open AccessBorjana Bogatinoska, Angelique Lansu et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2024
The planning and implementation of nature-based solutions require effective knowledge exchange among practitioners across multiple catchments. This study aims to enhance this knowledge exchange by applying a knowledge transfer model based on socialization, externalization, combination and internalization (SECI). The objective is to assess the effectiveness of this model in facilitating stakeholder engagement and co-creation approaches in the cont…

The state and perceptions of human-crocodile interactions around Murchison falls conservation area, Uganda
Mercy-Gloria Ashepet, F Dahdouh-Guebas et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2023
Wildlife conflicts between people and large herbivores or mammalian carnivores are widely researched in Africa, but there is limited work on human-crocodile conflicts (HCC). In Uganda, conservation efforts have enabled the recovery of the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) population, yet the expanding human population and activities increasingly overlap with crocodile habitats resulting in negative interactions. This study used a combination …
Mapping research gaps for sustainable forest management based on the nominal group technique
Open AccessJean Hugé, Behara Satyanarayana et al.ARTICLEEnvironment Development and…2023
Managing a complex social-ecological system requires data about the many social and ecological variables characterizing it and about their interactions. While the selection of research topics has its own, mostly unpredictable dynamics and contingencies, there has been a recent surge of interest regarding the involvement of non-academic stakeholders in suggesting research topics and identifying perceived knowledge gaps regarding the management of …

Participatory sustainability assessment for spatial planning: Reflections from a pilot exercise in Flanders, Belgium
Jean HugéARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2017
Sustainability is both an appealing and bewildering concept, subject to a range of interpretations. While this plurality of views can lead to innovative policy solutions to complex societal challenges, it can also lead to confusion and even decision paralysis. If sustainability is to guide decision-making, practical and user-friendly participatory decision-support processes are required. Sustainability assessment allows to systematically integrat…
