Planting seeds or cultivating change? Digging into Living Labs’ contributions to transformative change
Analysis of the potential and limitations of Living Labs in contributing to transformative change. • Featuring 10 Living Labs across diverse geographical settings, contexts, and key focus areas. • Living Labs foster shifts in views, support shifts in practices, but rarely shift structures. • Currently, Living Labs enable innovation but have limited ability to drive transformative change. • Institutional integration and long-term funding are key t…
Solution to what? Global assessment of nature-based solutions, urban challenges, and outcomes
Global assessment of 547 nature-based solutions (NbS) cases in 196 cities. • This study systematically links urban challenges, NbS and outcomes. • Urban NbS mostly demonstrated positive effects compared to non-NbS. • Widely studied challenges include health, biodiversity loss and urban heat island. • Reported outcomes are commonly related, true multifunctionality assessment missing. In response to multiple societal challenges faced in cities, nat…
Place-based knowledge transfer in a local-to-global and knowledge-to-action context: Key Steps and Facilitative Factors
Rapid global change threatens to outstrip global efforts to establish sustainable stewardship of social-ecological systems (SES). Place-based research can enhance effectiveness of global sustainability policies and actions by providing contextualized knowledge underpinning bottom-up solutions. However, the use and transfer of place-based knowledge remains a major challenge. In this study, we analyze place-based knowledge transfer in a local-to-gl…
Science on ecosystems and people to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
In December 2022, members of the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) (https://www.cbd.int/gbf/targets/) to guide international biodiversity conservation efforts until 2030 in order to be able to live ‘in harmony with nature’ by 2050. This framework addresses the implementation gap left after the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, which were the previous global instrument for mainstreami…
Assessing urban ecosystem services in support of spatial planning in the Hague, the Netherlands
Green infrastructure (GI) is increasingly addressed in urban planning and research to enhance urban sustainability and resilience through the provisioning of ecosystem services (ES). Yet, few applications exist of planning models for multifunctional GI in high spatial and thematic detail that simultaneously align with stakeholder interests. We address these gaps by developing and presenting a spatially explicit model to inform urban planners on p…
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the Ipbes science-policy platform
The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures insights from ecosystem services (ES) researchers and practitioners, largely drawing from the European context (referred to herein as ‘ES community’), on this key science–policy interface. We synthesize reflections from a workshop…
Indicators for relational values of nature’s contributions to good quality of life: The Ipbes approach for Europe and Central Asia
Relational values are values of desirable relationships between people and nature and among people (through nature). We report on the approach to capture relational values of nature’s contributions to people in the regional assessment for Europe and Central Asia of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). We present a framework considering indicators along four relational value dimensions about…
Distant regions underpin interregional flows of cultural ecosystem services provided by birds and mammals
Ecosystems and People – an inclusive, interdisciplinary journal
Assessing nature's contributions to people
Recognizing culture, and diverse sources of knowledge, can improve assessments
Identifying future research directions for biodiversity, ecosystem services and sustainability: Perspectives from early-career researchers
n\tWe aimed to identify priority research questions in the field of biodiversity, ecosystem services and sustainability (BESS), based on a workshop held during the NRG BESS Conference for Early Career Researchers on BESS, and to compare these to existing horizon scanning exercises. This work highlights the need for improved data availability through collaboration and knowledge exchange, which, in turn, can support the integrated valuation and sus…
Ecosystem Services as a Contested Concept: A Synthesis of Critique and Counter‐Arguments
We describe and reflect on seven recurring critiques of the concept of ecosystem services and respective counter‐arguments. First, the concept is criticized for being anthropocentric, whereas others argue that it goes beyond instrumental values. Second, some argue that the concept promotes an exploitative human–nature relationship, whereas others state that it reconnects society to ecosystems, emphasizing humanity's dependence on nature. Third, c…
