The false certainties of climate policy: Rethinking risk and cooperation in an uncertain future
Artificial intelligence in sustainable development research
Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant potential to advance Sustainable Development Goals by enabling data-driven insights and optimizations. In this analysis, we review 792 articles that explore AI applications in Sustainable Development Goal-related research. The literature is organized along two dimensions: (1) the disciplinary spectrum, from natural sciences to the humanities, and (2) the focus, distinguishing economic from socioecolo…
Drawing blanks and winning: Quantifying global catastrophic risk associated with human ingenuity
In his Vulnerable World Hypothesis Nick Bostrom recently compared invention to drawing balls out of a giant urn containing at least one black ball (i.e. an invention that would destroy civilization). If this hypothesis is correct, there is a need to assess the global catastrophic risk associated with human ingenuity. Here, drawing on the theory of zero-failure data, we develop two methods capable of addressing this question. The first method uses…
The debate on nuclear energy for sustainability: A comment
The role of nuclear energy to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions continues to be a contentious issue in many countries. Public debate is often convoluted and largely revolves around price and costs of energy production technologies as well as their contribution to climate change. Here, we first dissect two interwoven factors bound to produce confusion in the price-cost debate: temporal discounting and external costs. We then explore how a stron…
Months Later: The coronavirus pandemic as an analogy for future sustainability challenges
We combine the concepts of ‘black elephants’ and wicked problems with Roy Bhaskar’s critical realist philosophy of science and frame the current state of the coronavirus pandemic as an analogy for impending sustainability challenges. We point out and illustrate that the interaction of different ontological levels of our world as it ‘is’ will likely remain a challenge in addressing the wicked problems of our time
Understanding relational values in cultural landscapes in Romania and Germany
Relational values recently emerged as a concept to comprehensively understand and communicate the many values of nature. Relational values can be defined as preferences and principles about human–nature relationships and focus both on human–nature connections and well as human–human connections. Here, drawing on 819 face‐to‐face questionnaires, we analysed relational, intrinsic and instrumental values across a total of six agricultural landscapes…
Biophysical variability and politico-economic singularity: Responses of livestock numbers in South Mongolian nomadic pastoralism
The coronavirus pandemic as an analogy for future sustainability challenges
The current coronavirus outbreak may provide an illustrative analogy for sustainability challenges, exemplifying how challenges such as climate change may become wicked problems demanding novel and drastic solution attempts
Towards more effective and transferable transition experiments: Learning through stratification
Determinants of farm size and stocking rate in Namibian commercial cattle farming
Navigating cognition biases in the search of sustainability
Global assessment of the non-equilibrium theory of rangelands: Revisited and refined
