Co-envisioning an academia that fully embraces and supports early career researchers in interdisciplinary social-ecological research
There is widespread and growing recognition that interdisciplinary research, informed by the social and ecological sciences, is needed to solve “super wicked” problems like the biodiversity and climate crises. At the same time, there is increasing recognition of the challenges complicating the production of such research. This paper contributes to the urgent need to identify strategies to resolve the factors complicating the production of interdi…
Does democratic regression threaten biodiversity conservation and climate action? Exploring the relationships, implications, and opportunities for democratization as a conservation strategy
A global democratic recession is underway, but its repercussions for the pursuit of progress on the joint crises of climate change and biodiversity loss remains unclear. In this paper we explore two questions: (1) what is the evidence of a relationship between the strength of a state’s democracy and its performance on environmental issues?; and (2) to what extent does ongoing democratic regression overlap with conservation actors and biodiversity…
From greedy grocers to carbon taxes and everything in between
In Canada, the task of explaining food prices falls to a handful of grey literature reports that shape media coverage and public understanding and carry significant political and policy influence. We performed an in-depth analysis of fifty-one of these influential reports, including thirty-nine reports by Statistics Canada (including Consumer Price Index reports and other studies) and twelve reports from the Canada Food Price Report (CFPR) series…

Will climate change degrade the efficacy of marine resource management policies
News media coverage of Covid-19 public health and policy information
During a pandemic, news media play a crucial role in communicating public health and policy information. Traditional newspaper coverage is important amidst increasing disinformation, yet uncertainties make covering health risks and efforts to limit transmission difficult. This study assesses print and online newspaper coverage of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 for March 2020, when the global pandemic was declared, through August 2020 in three c…
A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
Overcoming barriers to transfer of scientific knowledge
Equity in human adaptation-related responses
Understanding the limitations of current RFMO climate change adaptation strategies
While Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) face many challenges in their pursuit of sustainable resource development, climate change is among the most pressing and least addressed. Research has identified a host of expected or ongoing physical, biological, ecological, and social impacts of climate change on the marine environment, creating a strong climate change adaptation imperative for RFMOs. Through a case study of the Inter-Am…
