  • Exploring the relationship between plural values of nature, human well‐being, and conservation and development intervention: Why it matters and how to do it

    Open AccessRachel Carmenta, Julie G Zaehringer et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Globally, land and seascapes across the bioculturally diverse tropics are in transition. Impacted by the demands of distant consumers, the processes of global environmental change and numerous interventions seeking climate, conservation and development goals, these transitions have the potential to impact the relationships and plurality of values held between people and place. This paper is a Synthesis of seven empirical studies within the Specia…

  • Assessing human well‐being constructs with environmental and equity aspects: A review of the landscape

    Open AccessErin Betley, Amanda Sigouin et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Decades of theory and scholarship on the concept of human well‐being have informed a proliferation of approaches to assess well‐being and support public policy aimed at sustainability and improving quality of life. Human well‐being is multidimensional, and well‐being emerges when the dimensions and interrelationships interact as a system. In this paper, we illuminate two crucial components of well‐being that are often excluded from policy because…

  • Towards an equity competency model for sustainable food systems education programs

    Open AccessWill Valley, Molly D Anderson et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2020

    Addressing social inequities has been recognized as foundational to transforming food systems. Activists and scholars have critiqued food movements as lacking an orientation towards addressing issues of social justice. To address issues of inequity, sustainable food systems education (SFSE) programs will have to increase students’ equity-related capabilities. Our first objective in this paper is to determine the extent to which SFSE programs in t…

  • Creating a space for place and multidimensional well-being: Lessons learned from localizing the SDGs

    Open AccessEleanor J Sterling, Puaʻala Pascua et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2020Cited by: 16References: 20

    Achieving sustainable development globally requires multilevel and interdisciplinary efforts and perspectives. Global goals shape priorities and actions at multiple scales, creating cascading impacts realized at the local level through the direction of financial resources and implementation of programs intended to achieve progress towards these metrics. We explore ways to localize global goals to best support human well-being and environmental he…

  • Assessing the evidence for stakeholder engagement in biodiversity conservation

    Open AccessEleanor J Sterling, Erin Betley et al.ARTICLEBiological Conservation2017

    Engaging local stakeholders is a central feature of many biodiversity conservation and natural resource management projects globally. Current literature on engagement predominantly focuses on individual case studies or specific geographical contexts, making general conclusions regarding the effect of these efforts on conservation outcomes difficult. We reviewed evidence from the peer-reviewed and grey literatures related to the role of stakeholde…

  • Culturally Grounded Indicators of Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems

    Open AccessEleanor J Sterling, Eleanor Sterling et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Society2017Cited by: 2References: 30

    Measuring progress toward sustainability goals is a multifaceted task. Inter- national, regional, and national organizations and agencies seek to promote resilience and capacity for adaptation at local levels. However, their measurement systems may be poorly aligned with local contexts, cultures, and needs. Understanding how to build effective, culturally grounded measurement systems is a fundamental step toward supporting adaptive management and…
