Landscape matters: Insights from the impact of mega-droughts on Colombia's energy transition
Mega-droughts can cause disruption to the affected society sparking a transition. We explore the causes and effects of the 2015−2016 mega-drought in Colombia. Using the multi-level perspective as a framework, we found that the mega-drought sparked an energy transition in Colombia whose dynamics were impacted both by the institutionalization of niches as well as the ability to predict the next drought. We were able to trace, using the current unde…
Urban emission scaling — Research insights and a way forward
Aerial river management by smart cross-border reforestation
In the face of increasing socio-economic and climatic pressures in growing cities, it is rational for managers to consider multiple approaches for securing water availability. One often disregarded option is the promotion of reforestation in source regions supplying important quantities of atmospheric moisture transported over long distances through aerial rivers, affecting water resources of a city via precipitation and runoff (‘smart reforestat…
Benchmarking urban eco-efficiency and urbanites' perception
Embodied crop calories in animal products
Increases in animal products consumption and the associated environmental consequences have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. Consequences of such increases include rises in greenhouse gas emissions, growth of consumptive water use, and perturbation of global nutrients cycles. These consequences vary spatially depending on livestock types, their densities and their production system. In this letter, we investigate the spatial distri…
Defining the Bull'S Eye: Satellite Imagery-Assisted Slum Population Assessment in Hyderabad, India
This paper presents an approach to qualitative and spatial assessment of slum population numbers in Hyderabad, India using circle-based population data from the Census of India and results of the analysis of high resolution QuickBird satellite image data (2003) derived from automatic line detection and lacunarity algorithm. This approach provides plausible and spatially explicit aggregate statistics of slum population numbers within the city. Thi…
Categorisation of typical vulnerability patterns in global drylands
Syndromes of Global Change: The First Panoramic View
Ecological and environmental sciences need new approaches to meet a two-fold challenge: first, analysing the tightly coupled system of human civilisation and its natural environment and, secondly, generating action-oriented knowledge in order to deal with global change. The syndrome approach meets this challenge by formulating a set of typical problematic man-environment interaction patterns. After shortly reviewing the basic concepts of the appr…
Global Analysis and Distribution of Unbalanced Urbanization Processes: The Favela Syndrome
A qualitative functional analysis of the archetypical cause-effect pattern constituting social and environmental degradation in uncontrolled and rapidly growing cities (Favela Syndrome) is performed. This analysis is carried out in the framework of the Syndrome Concept which aims to describe the total complex of present Global Change by a limited number of archetypical cause-effect patterns, called Syndromes. Based on the qualitative analysis, wh…
Syndromes of Global Change
Global Change as a recently emerging, multidimensional problematique shows a variety of world-wide core problems like soil erosion, water scarcity or development disparities that threaten humankind and its future. Sustainability as the encompassing issue for this future is endangered by negative trends and their reinforcements within the Earth System. The understanding of these trends and interactions driving Global Change is a difficult but nece…
