Carbon budgets and climate footprints
This study develops a novel, national-accounts-consistent framework that couples monetary and physical supply-use with input–output tables and multiregional input–output analysis to track biogenic carbon and fossil GHGs in Sweden’s forest-based economy. It yields integrated production- and consumption-based balances that reconcile forest carbon stock change with wood-based products stocks and supply-chain fossil GHG emissions. Sweden’s forest-bas…
Evaluating transformative policies in complex land-use systems
Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitate such knowledge integration. Co-creation with soc…
A conceptual framework for assessing pathways towards climate neutrality and biodiversity conservation in a circular forest-based economy
This study presents a conceptual framework for assessing the sustainability of the forest-based economy and resulting synergies and trade-offs between forest harvest, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. The framework adopts a comprehensive systems approach to map economic activities and associated flows of resources and embodied environmental impacts along the value chain. It builds on methodologies for environmental-economic nat…
Nudging strategies to promote plant-based and sustainable food consumption in canteens
Transitioning towards a more plant-based diet can promote sustainable food consumption while simultaneously addressing environmental and health-related issues. Integrated nudging strategies are effective in promoting healthy eating behaviours. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of an integrated nudging intervention to promote plant-based meals and determine its effect on promoting sustainable food consumption behaviour. The eff…
Mapping two centuries of forest governance in Nordic countries
Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in the production and protection of economic, social, and environmental values. To understand current challenges and trajectories shaping future strategies within the Nordic forest sector, it is important to map and trace past and present policy and governance developments. The core contribution of this short communication is to present an open-access database that compiles key forest-related public national …
Comparing Nordic forest governance
There is a growing call for comparative analyses of forest governance to facilitate knowledge exchange for the sustainable management of Nordic forest systems, addressing the needs of societal stakeholders in enhancing both the quality and quantity of forest resources. This study traces the development of nation-wide policy instruments implemented in four Nordic countries; Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark between 1970 and 2023, based on interv…
Using quantitative storytelling to identify constraints in resource supply
Seaweed is increasingly considered a promising resource to produce high‐value products such as bioplastics due to potential environmental benefits such as carbon uptake and no land‐use change. However, the environmental assessment of emerging technologies for producing bioplastic from seaweed remains challenging due to the difficulties in modeling future seaweed supply and demand. Within the consequential approach to life cycle assessment, an inc…
Investigating local policy instruments for different types of urban agriculture in four European cities
Over the last decades, urban agriculture (UA) and controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) have been growing in many urban areas of the world to supply fresh food locally and to provide multiple benefits for the sustainable development of urban landscapes. Municipal policies and regulatory tools are increasingly employed to support UA/CEA and minimize practical challenges. However, especially in Europe, there is a lack of systematic reviews tha…
Tracking the carbon emissions of Denmark's five regions from a producer and consumer perspective
The global cropland footprint of Denmark's food supply 2000–2013
Toward a more consistent combined approach of reduction targets and climate policy regulations
Green economy and related concepts
A nitrogen budget for Denmark; developments between 1990 and 2010, and prospects for the future
A nitrogen (N) budget for Denmark has been developed for the years 1990 to 2010, describing the inputs and outputs at the national scale and the internal flows between relevant sectors of the economy. Satisfactorily closing the N budgets for some sectors of the economy was not possible, due to missing or contradictory information. The budgets were nevertheless considered sufficiently reliable to quantify the major flows. Agriculture was responsib…
The studland bay wreck, dorset, UK
Upon the discovery and protection of a presumed 16th-century wreck off Poole Harbour, one of the largest underwater excavations in England was carried out between 1984 and 1992. In 1997–8 the author examined the archive and recovered objects with the aim of publishing the present report on the hull remains. The paper demonstrates how much can be learned about construction and design from in-situ recording. The similarities and differences between…
