Patterns of infringement, risk, and impact driven by coal mining permits in Indonesia
Open AccessTim T Werner, Tessa Toumbourou et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024
Coal mining is known for its contributions to climate change, but its impacts on the environment and human lives near mine sites are less widely recognised. This study integrates remote sensing, GIS, stakeholder interviews and extensive review of provincial data and documents to identify patterns of infringement, risk and impact driven by coal mining expansion across East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Specifically, we map and analyse patterns of mining …
Balancing livestock production and environmental outcomes in northern Australia’s tropical savanna under global change
Open AccessRebecca K Runting, Darran King et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024
Livestock production is an integral part of the global food system and the livelihoods of local people, but it also raises questions of environmental sustainability due to issues such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biodiversity decline, land degradation, and water use. Further challenges to extensive livestock systems may arise from changes in climate and the global economy (particularly variation in prices for livestock and carbon). However,…

Catalytic potential of pollination services to reconcile conservation and agricultural production
Open AccessSofía López‐Cubillos, Rebecca K Runting et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
With a global pollinator crisis brewing, it is urgent that we preserve forests supporting wild bees and the services they provide, even in context where agricultural expansion is unavoidable. Though the maintenance of pollination services are known to be synergistic with biodiversity conservation and agricultural economic development, there are few decision support tools that explicitly show how to balance these competing objectives. We developed…
Telecoupled environmental impacts are an obstacle to meeting the sustainable development goals
Open AccessYiwen Zeng, Rebecca K Runting et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2021Cited by: 2References: 5
International trade is responsible for connecting human and natural systems across distant countries, and has profound implications for sustainability. In particular, telecoupling, the socioeconomic and environmental interactions between distant countries as a result of, among others, global trade, typically leaves less affluent nations bearing the largest environmental impacts. Telecoupling effects are likely to be pervasive to those trying to a…

Rising floodwaters
Open AccessJessie A Wells, Kerrie A Wilson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016
The roles of forest and wetland ecosystems in regulating flooding have drawn increasing attention in the contexts of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. However, data on floods are scarce in many of the countries where people are most exposed and vulnerable to their impacts. Here, our separate analyses of village interview surveys(364 villages) and news archives(16 sources)show that floods have major impacts on lives and liveli…
