Integrative Sustainable Development Goal policy portfolios to accelerate global progress towards a more sustainable future

A method to identify positive tipping points to accelerate low-carbon transitions and actions to trigger them
Meeting the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to "well below 2 °C" requires a radical acceleration of action, as the global economy is decarbonising at least five times too slowly. Tipping points, where low-carbon transitions become self-propelling, could be key to achieving the necessary acceleration. We deem these normatively 'positive', because they can limit considerable, inequitable harms from global warming and help achieve sustainabi…
Harnessing social tipping dynamics
Social tipping points are promising levers for accelerating decarbonization progress. They describe how social, political, economic, or technological systems can move rapidly into a new state if positive feedback mechanisms are triggered. Analyzing the potential for social tipping requires the inherent complexity of social systems to be considered. Yet the growing social tipping literature is missing a practical framework that embeds conceptual a…
Robust strategies to end global poverty and reduce environmental pressures
Social media data shed light on air-conditioning interest of heat-vulnerable regions and sociodemographic groups
Evaluating policy complexity with Causal Loop Diagrams
Methods to capture the complexity of using policy instruments would allow us to better evaluate the reasons for their effectiveness. Drawing from complexity science, we produce a Causal Loop Diagram to analyse the implementation of two informational policy instruments in a tourism destination: the Global Sustainable Tourism Council criteria and the European Tourism Indicator Scheme. To interpret the emerging system structure, we use complexity th…
A review of model-based scenario analysis of poverty for informing sustainability
Early systems change necessary for catalyzing long-term sustainability in a post-2030 agenda
important for accelerating progress towards increasingly ambitious sustainability targets by 2050 and 2100
Using social media audience data to analyse the drivers of low-carbon diets
Low-carbon lifestyles are key to climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and keeping the Earth in a safe operating space. Understanding the global feasibility and drivers of low-carbon lifestyles requires large scale data covering various countries, demographic and socioeconomic groups. In this study, we use the audience segmentation data from Facebook’s advertising platform to analyse the extent and drivers of interest in sustainab…
Validity and usefulness of Covid-19 models
Mathematical models have become central to the public and policy debate about the recent COVID-19 pandemic. On the one hand, they provide guidance to policy-makers about the development of the epidemic and healthcare demand overtime; on the other hand, they are heavily criticized for their lack of credibility. This commentary reflects on three such models from a validity and usefulness perspective. Specifically, it discusses the complexity, valid…
