  • Bundling measures for food systems transformation

  • Conservation outcomes of dietary transitions across different values of nature

    Open AccessPatrick Von Jeetze, Isabelle Weindl et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025References: 10

    Conservation benefits from dietary change are commonly assessed without accounting for different conservation objectives. By representing fine-scale habitat and landscape change within a dynamic land-system model, we assess how a partial or full transition to healthier diets would affect indicators across the ‘Nature for Nature’ and ‘Nature for Society’ conservation value perspectives. We find that most diet-related conservation benefits are alre…

  • Multiple pathways towards sustainable development goals and climate targets

    Open AccessBjoern Soergel, Sebastian Rauner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate target require a holistic transformation towards human well-being within planetary boundaries. However, there are growing debates on how to best pursue these targets. Proposed transformation strategies include market- and technology-driven green-growth, shifting towards a sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, and a transformation driven primarily by strong government action. He…

  • Policy mixes for sustainable development pathways

    Open AccessInes Dombrowsky, Gabriela Iacobuţă et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The Paris Agreement on climate change and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development require unprecedented transformations to sustainability, while maximising synergies and minimising trade-offs between the two agendas. The policy studies and sustainability transition literatures suggest that addressing the complex policy interlinkages requires ambitious, coherent, comprehensive and credible policy mixes supported by synergistic combinations of g…

  • Food and land system transformations under different societal perspectives on sustainable development

    Open AccessIsabelle Weindl, Bjoern Soergel et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The future of food and land systems is crucial for achieving multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, given their essential role in providing adequate nutrition and their significant impact on Earth system processes. Despite widespread consensus on the need for transformation, discussed strategies vary widely, from technology-driven to sufficiency-focused approaches, emphasizing different agents of change and policy mixes. This study assesses t…

  • Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits

    Michalis Hadjikakou, Nicholas Bowles et al.PREPRINT2023

    Transforming the global food system is essential to avoid exceeding Earth’s environmental limits. A robust evidence base is crucial to assess the scale and combination of interventions required for a sustainable transformation. We developed a risk assessment framework, underpinned by an evidence synthesis of global food system modeling studies, to quantify the potential of individual and combined interventions to mitigate the risk of exceeding gl…

  • The role of food and land use systems in achieving India’s sustainability targets

    Open AccessChandan Kumar Jha, Vartika Singh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The food and land use sector is a major contributor to India’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. On one hand, India is committed to sustainability targets in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sectors, on the other, there is little clarity whether these objectives can align with national developmental priorities of food security and environmental protection. This study fills the gap by reviewing multiple corridors to sustain…

  • Quantifying synergies and trade-offs in the global water-land-food-climate nexus using a multi-model scenario approach

    Open AccessJonathan Doelman, Felicitas Beier et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The human-earth system is confronted with the challenge of providing a range of resources for a growing and more prosperous world population while simultaneously reducing environmental degradation. The sustainable development goals and the planetary boundaries define targets to manage this challenge. Many of these are linked to the land system, such as biodiversity, water, food, nutrients and climate, and are strongly interconnected. A key questi…

  • A sustainable development pathway for climate action within the UN 2030 Agenda

    Open AccessBjoern Soergel, Elmar Kriegler et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2021

  • Large-scale bioenergy production

    Open AccessFlorian Humpenöder, Alexander Popp et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Large-scale 2nd generation bioenergy deployment is a key element of 1.5 °C and 2 °C transformation pathways. However, large-scale bioenergy production might have negative sustainability implications and thus may conflict with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) agenda. Here, we carry out a multi-criteria sustainability assessment of large-scale bioenergy crop production throughout the 21st century (300 EJ in 2100) using a global land-use model…

  • Livestock production and the water challenge of future food supply

    Open AccessIsabelle Weindl, Benjamin Leon Bodirsky et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2017Cited by: 2References: 3

  • Land-use futures in the shared socio-economic pathways

    Open AccessAlexander Popp, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 83References: 5

    Narratives for the Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs) focusing on the land sector are presented. • Integrated Assessment Models have been applied for the SSPs to assess potential future developments for land use, greenhouse gas emissions, food provision and prices. • Model results reflect the general storylines of the SSPs and indicate a broad range of potential land-use futures. • SSP-based land use pathways aim at supporting future climate r…

  • Fossil-fueled development (SSP5)

    Open AccessElmar Kriegler, Nico Bauer et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 39References: 4

    This paper presents a set of energy and resource intensive scenarios based on the concept of Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs). The scenario family is characterized by rapid and fossil-fueled development with high socio-economic challenges to mitigation and low socio-economic challenges to adaptation (SSP5). A special focus is placed on the SSP5 marker scenario developed by the REMIND-MAgPIE integrated assessment modeling framework. The SSP5 …

  • Livestock in a changing climate

    Open AccessIsabelle Weindl, Hermann Lotze‐campen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Livestock farming is the world's largest land use sector and utilizes around 60% of the global biomass harvest. Over the coming decades, climate change will affect the natural resource base of livestock production, especially the productivity of rangeland and feed crops. Based on a comprehensive impact modeling chain, we assess implications of different climate projections for agricultural production costs and land use change and explore the effe…

  • Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies

    Open AccessFlorian Humpenöder, Alexander Popp et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    The land-use sector can contribute to climate change mitigation not only by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but also by increasing carbon uptake from the atmosphere and thereby creating negative CO2 emissions. In this paper, we investigate two land-based climate change mitigation strategies for carbon removal: (1) afforestation and (2) bioenergy in combination with carbon capture and storage technology (bioenergy CCS). In our approach, a…
