Hundreds of millions of people in the tropics need both wild harvests and other forms of economic development for their well-being
Open AccessGeoff Wells, Casey M Ryan et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2023
of millions of people in the tropics harvest ''wild'' common-pool resources d Wild harvests are correlated with high relative well-being in remote and poor areas d Access to infrastructure, cities, assets, and skills also increase well-being overall d The well-being of many people relies on both wild resources and economic development
Ten facts about land systems for sustainability
Open AccessPatrick Meyfroidt, Ariane De Bremond et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2022
Land use is central to addressing sustainability issues, including biodiversity conservation, climate change, food security, poverty alleviation, and sustainable energy. In this paper, we synthesize knowledge accumulated in land system science, the integrated study of terrestrial social-ecological systems, into 10 hard truths that have strong, general, empirical support. These facts help to explain the challenges of achieving sustainability in la…

Access to Ecosystem Benefits
Lucy Szaboova, Katrina Brown et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2019Cited by: 4References: 16
This article responds to a gap in existing research on access to environmental spaces in rural and coastal areas, especially of less advantaged members of society who could potentially benefit the most from exposure to such environments but face a whole host of constraints. We build on existing theorisations of access to natural resources and ecosystem services in the development literature and integrate insights from the sociology of access to e…

Barriers to equity in Redd
Open AccessNiamh Dawson, Neil M Dawson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2018Cited by: 10References: 20
A national interpretation process involving diverse actors and interests is required to transform global environmental initiatives into policies appropriate to the national or subnational context. These processes of localising norms are critical spaces to formulate equitable pathways to environmental conservation, yet have received limited attention from policy makers and researchers. We explored national policy processes for Reducing Emissions f…

Urban energy transitions and rural income generation
Open AccessHarriet Elizabeth Smith, D H Jones et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 7References: 6
Sub-Saharan Africa’s charcoal sector is rarely considered a mechanism for rural development or poverty alleviation; instead, current regulations often marginalise rural producers. The development of a sustainable sector, that does not further marginalise rural populations, is restricted by limited understanding of these stakeholders. We assess the heterogeneity of rural producers supplying two differentially sized urban charcoal markets in Mozamb…

Understanding the relationships between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation
Open AccessJanet Fisher, Janet A Fisher et al.ARTICLEEcosystem Services2014
As interest grows in the contribution of ecosystem services to poverty alleviation, we present a new conceptual framework, synthesizing insights from existing frameworks in social–ecological systems science and international development. People have differentiated abilities to benefit from ecosystem services, and the framework places emphasis on access to services, which may constrain the poorest more than aggregate availability. Distinctions are…

Strengthening conceptual foundations
Open AccessJanet Fisher, Janet A Fisher et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2013Cited by: 19References: 28
A research agenda is currently developing around the linkages between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation. It is therefore timely to consider which conceptual frameworks can best support research at this nexus. Our review of frameworks synthesises existing research on poverty/environment linkages that should not be overlooked with the adoption of the topical language of ecosystem services. A total of nine conceptual frameworks were selecte…
