Stories of soil and sea
Large-scale removal and storage of atmospheric CO 2 in land and ocean sinks is essential to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals, yet empirical evidence on how novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) should be deployed responsibly remains limited. Using Australia as a case study, we provide one of the first empirical comparisons of stakeholder expectations for the responsible deployment of marine- and land-based CDR, comparing ocean alkalinity enhan…
The roles of actors in nature-positive transformations
Nature positive is gaining momentum as a global goal to halt and reverse nature loss. Yet the scale and pace of action are inadequate to curb accelerating biodiversity decline, threatening the foundations of economies and society. Applying sustainability transitions frameworks, we map key system actors to conceptualise their drivers, barriers, interactions and roles they can play to overcome institutional constraints and advance six nature transf…
Local capacity assessment is integral to stakeholder engagement for responsible marine carbon dioxide removal
Novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches are essential to address climate change. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is being considered to enhance the ocean’s capacity as an atmospheric carbon sink. It is widely recognised that responsible development and deployment of marine-based CDR requires effective engagement with local stakeholders. This article considers how stakeholders could actively participate in OAE, enhancing their agency and …
Just trade-offs in a net-zero transition and social impact assessment
Countries around the world are prioritising net zero emissions to meet their Paris Agreement goals. The demand for social impact assessment (SIA) is likely to grow as this transition will require investments in decarbonisation projects with speed and at scale. There will be winners and losers of these projects because not everyone benefits the same; and hence, trade-offs are inevitable. SIAs, therefore, should focus on understanding how the risks…
Applying a risk governance approach to examine how professionals perceive the benefits and risks of clinical genomics in Australian healthcare
Clinical genomics is a system of multiple stakeholders and institutions. Yet, studies focusing on the comparative perspectives of these stakeholders are limited. This study engages four groups of professionals (clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, laboratory professionals, and researchers) working in clinical genomics to investigate their perceptions of the benefits and risks of using genomics in Australian healthcare. The study is underpinn…
A causal network approach using a community well-being framework for an initial impact assessment of large-scale energy infrastructure projects
Impact assessment as a discipline continues to evolve and search for ways to address challenges that are wicked, systemic, and unconventional. More guidance however is required on integrating multi-disciplinary and novel approaches without losing the richness of impact assessments. This paper explores integrating the causal network approach, underpinned by a community well-being framework, into environmental and social impact assessments. We do t…
Towards responsible science and technology
Incorporating perspectives of multiple stakeholders concerning the appropriate balance of risks and benefits of new and potentially disruptive technologies is thought to be a way of enhancing the societal relevance and positive impacts of those technologies. A risk governance approach can be instrumental in achieving balance among diverse stakeholders, as it enables decision-making processes informed by multiple dimensions of risk. This paper app…
