Nature-based Solutions for landslide risk reduction in informal settlements of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) aim to take advantage of the benefits that nature can provide to cope with potential adverse impacts. This study identifies and evaluates NbS for landslide risk reduction in the informal settlements of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, comparing them with conventional engineering measures. The research is based on a qualitative, participatory methodology, …
Ensuring that nature-based solutions for climate mitigation address multiple global challenges
Transformative Conservation of Ecosystems
Non-technical summaryMany conservation initiatives call for 'transformative change' to counter biodiversity loss, climate change, and injustice. The term connotes fundamental, broad, and durable changes to human relationships with nature. However, if oversimplified or overcomplicated, or not focused enough on power and the political action necessary for change, associated initiatives can perpetuate or exacerbate existing crises. This article aims…
Assessing restoration priorities for high-risk ecosystems
Land clearing and ecosystem degradation are primary causes of loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide, putting at risk sustainable options for Earth and humankind. According to recent global estimates, degraded lands already account for at least 1 and up to 6 billion ha. Given high rates of habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes with high levels of ecosystem transformation, conventional approaches…
Core principles for successfully implementing and upscaling Nature-based Solutions
Despite substantial increases in the scope and magnitude of biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration, there remains ongoing degradation of natural resources that adversely affects both biodiversity and human well-being. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can be an effective framework for reversing this trend, by increasing the alignment between conservation and sustainable development objectives. However, unless there is clarity on its evol…
Complex problems and unchallenged solutions
Sustainable development aims at addressing economic, social, and environmental concerns, but the current lack of responsive environmental governance hinders progress. Short-term economic development has led to limited actions, unsustainable resource management, and degraded ecosystems. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may continue to fall short of achieving significant progress without a better understanding of how ecosystems contribut…

Climate‐Smart Landscapes
Addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security, and poverty alleviation requires enhancing the adaptive capacity and mitigation potential of agricultural landscapes across the tropics. However, adaptation and mitigation activities tend to be approached separately due to a variety of technical, political, financial, and socioeconomic constraints. Here, we demonstrate that many tropical agricultural systems can provide both mitig…
Mídia e subjetividade
Este ensaio analisa alguns dos subprodutos do processo de globalização, tais como a massificação e a importação de modelos culturais hegemônicos, os quais destituem o homem do sentimento de pertença a grupos humanos e invadem seu universo simbólico, expropriando o centro de referência cultural balizador do psiquismo humano. Nessa fratura desalojadora de significação humana e que se sustentam algumas doenças modernas e emergentes, como os Transtor…
