Local voices on conservation equity: Farmer perceptions in Ghana's incentive-based agroforestry program
Incentive-based conservation initiatives are continually promoted as instruments for restoring degraded forest landscapes, yet their legitimacy depends on the perceived fairness of procedural equity. Despite extensive studies on Ghana's Modified Taungya System, there remains limited empirical evidence on procedural equity from farmers' perspectives. This study explores farmers' perspectives on procedural equity and the actual benefits and burdens…
Co-creation of governance innovations for sustainable forest ecosystem services in Europe
The high complexity of forest ecosystem services calls for novel governance arrangements that are capable of addressing diverse socio-ecological contexts and actor configurations. To better understand the transformative potential of such arrangements, it is essential to identify key influencing factors that enable governance reconfiguration across multiple decision arenas and stakeholder groups. This paper aims to examine the role of these factor…
Distribution of forest-based innovations across Europe
Geographical probability of innovation development for Europe’s forests has been produced. • Results are generated by combining survey and machine learning. • Place-based factors of forests are highly explanatory of innovation development. • Wood-focused innovation tend to develop in economically viable forests. • Innovations focused on regulating ecosystems tend to develop in forests that are not economically viable. Vast majority of forestry re…
Conceptualising destination degrowth for sustainable tourism development in three German biosphere reserves
Tourism is a typical example for conflicts in society-environment-interactions, as it causes increasing pressure on natural resources and ecosystems due to growth expectations. Being especially dependent on healthy society-environment-interactions, tourism in protected areas (PAs) has gained increased attention within sustainable tourism discourses. This includes tourism in biosphere reserves (BRs) as model regions for sustainable development. Ho…
Biosphere Reserves as catalysts for sustainability transformations: Five strategies to support place-based innovation
Place-based innovations are expected to provide transformative solutions to global wicked problems. Biosphere Reserves, as designated model regions for sustainable development and sustainability transformations, are bound to support place-based innovations. Yet, empirical scientific evidence about innovation in Biosphere Reserves is rare so far. Hence, we review recent findings on innovations, grassroots, and transitions in Biosphere Reserves. We…
Enhancing the transformative potential of sustainability innovations: An application of the values-rules-knowledge framework
To respond to global sustainability challenges with transformative solutions, there is a need to pinpoint the necessary and sufficient conditions that enhance the transformative potential of sustainability innovations. To this end, we examined 129 sustainability innovations in two European Biosphere Reserves, and analysed (1) their transformative potential, assessed based on a leverage points perspective, and (2) their supportive conditions (i.e.…
The socioeconomic dimension of forest therapy: A contribution to human well-being and sustainable forest management
Forests provide a variety of ecosystem services that contribute in various ways to human well-being. In times of land-use pressures, urbanisation, and nature degradation, the societal demand for forest-based therapeutic uses is increasing. Although nature-related therapies and the beneficial effects of nature on health and well-being are an old concept in cultures such as Asia and, more recently, Europe, forest therapy offers are increasingly tak…
The Biosphere Reserves Institute at Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. Advancing science in, with and for Unesco Biosphere Reserves
The new Biosphere Reserves Institute (BRI) at Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE) represents a pioneering effort to promote sustainable development and transformation. As an UNESCO Category 2 Institute, the BRI serves as an international think tank that advances science, technology and innovation in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves
An archetype analysis of sustainability innovations in Biosphere Reserves: Insights for assessing transformative potential
Sustainability transformations are considered to provide pathways to solve current wicked problems, although empirical approaches to assess their actual transformative potential are still limited. In this study, we analyse a diverse set of 129 sustainability innovations in two Biosphere Reserves in Germany and France (Schorfheide-Chorin and Fontainebleau-Gâtinais), based on an analytical framework that characterises innovations through actors, pr…
An integrated conflict analysis approach for the sustainable supply of Forest Ecosystem Services in Germany - the case of forest-based biofuel production
Sustainability innovations: A proposal for an analytical framework and its empirical application in the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve
Sustainability innovations influence societal transformations through the development of new products, processes, organizations, behaviors or values. Although various research approaches have tackled technological innovations in the last few decades, the specificities and enabling conditions of individual sustainability innovations remain rather unknown. We therefore propose an analytical framework, built on learning from the social-ecological sy…

Governance strategy for sustainable land management and water reuse: Challenges for transdisciplinary research
Sustainability research often recommends the application of integrated and system‐based management approaches for overcoming complex problems of land and natural resource use. This paper poses four major governance challenges for sustainable land management as its point of departure: (i) fragmented knowledge and expertise, (ii) heterogeneous actors, (iii) institutional diversity and (iv) inadequate processes for coordination, adaptation and learn…

The potential of landscape labelling approaches for integrated landscape management in Europe
This paper combines conceptual thinking and empirical analysis of landscape labelling as a new governance approach. With the help of a literature review and qualitative interviews, we (1) explore the conceptual orientation of landscape labelling, (2) analyse existing approaches in Europe and (3) elaborate its potential for integrated landscape management on a regional scale. Governance analysis to identify fostering and hindering factors is carri…
Adjusting policy to institutional, cultural and biophysical context conditions: The case of conservation banking in California
An Emerging Paradigm for Managing Protected Areas with Examples from Europe and the United States
Parks and Protected Areas (PPA) have become increasingly important for societal well-being in Europe and the United States. Urbanization, detachment from nature, and demographic changes are fostering discussions about strengthening the social and cultural dimensions of management. The complexities and subtleties of incorporating PPAs into existing government and societal contexts are explored with a focus on institutional and governance principle…
