Diverse values regarding nature are related to stable forests
Local land use emerges from peoples’ worldviews and values regarding nature. In neotropical forest landscapes, largely inhabited by Indigenous peoples, exploring how Indigenous land use and underlying values may converge with global values such as carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation may provide lessons to achieve equitable ecological and social outcomes. However, most studies have focused on exploring the influence of Indigenous la…
Theorizing how the Three Horizons approach supports transformative learning
For society to make progress on sustainability requires businesses, alongside governments and non-government organizations, to take ambitious actions. Engaging small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is crucial in this context, as they represent one of the most common organizations in many economies and collectively contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In response, this research investigates how the Three Horizons approach (TH…
Non-monetary narratives motivate businesses to engage with climate change
The dominant narrative to motivate business actors to take climate actions emphasizes opportunities to increase monetary gains, linking sustainability to the financial goals of these organizations. The prevalence of monetary motivations in sustainability communication among businesses, consultancies, academics and international organizations has made this narrative a truism in the private sector. We conducted an online, real-world, large- n exper…
Natural and financial impacts of payments for forest carbon offset
Indigenous perspective to inform rights-based conservation in a protected area of Panama
Deforestation, Territorial Conflicts, and Pluralism in the Forests of Eastern Panama
Deforestation is a primary contributor to global climate change. When the forest is felled and the vegetation is burnt or decomposes, carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere. An approach designed to stem climate change is Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), a global financial mechanism that requires intricate governance requirements to be met—a significant challenge in the developing are…
A comparison of influences on the landscape of two social-ecological systems
Case studies of social-ecological landscapes that consider local, spatially explicit land cover changes are necessary for the development of generalised knowledge on deforestation. This study focussed on two indigenous territories of eastern Panama that share the same settlement history, size and location but are perceived by local dwellers to differ in terms of land cover. By considering the territories social-ecological systems made up of Resou…
Contributions of a global network of tree diversity experiments to sustainable forest plantations
The area of forest plantations is increasing worldwide helping to meet timber demand and protect natural forests. However, with global change, monospecific plantations are increasingly vulnerable to abiotic and biotic disturbances. As an adaption measure we need to move to plantations that are more diverse in genotypes, species, and structure, with a design underpinned by science. TreeDivNet, a global network of tree diversity experiments, respon…
Characterizing desired futures of Canadian communities
In sustainability research and practice, one method widely used in exploration is visioning, in which desirable sustainable futures are articulated and explored in depth. Communities across Canada have used this method to develop collective desirable futures, in many cases to provide an end goal for local sustainable development. In this paper, we conduct a meta-analysis of desired futures created by communities across Canada with the aim of ide…

Forest protection and tenure status
Redd+ emissions estimation and reporting
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) defined the technical and financial modalities of policy approaches and incentives to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD+). Substantial technical challenges hinder precise and accurate estimation of forest-related emissions and removals, as well as the setting and assessment of reference levels. These challenges could limit cou…
Redd+ and the agriculture frontier
Diagnosing the uncertainty and detectability of emission reductions for Redd + under current capabilities
In preparation for the deployment of a new mechanism that could address as much as one fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), important work on methodological issues is still needed to secure the capacity to produce measurable, reportable, and verifiable emissions reductions from REDD+ in developing countries. To contribute to this effort, we have diagnosed the main source…
