The urgency of the Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission’s report and Ipbes transformations versus the ongoing Z transformation
The Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission’s report proposes the translation of safe and just Earth-system boundaries across scales, transitions and transformations as being necessary to create a durable pathway to sustainability. Here we address the willingness and engagement of individual people to understand, feel the value, and implement the totality of its recommended transformations. We adopt an approach based on inner dimensions of susta…
Unveiling global sustainability boundaries
Greater global awareness and action to implement sustainable development are underway. However, global progress towards sustainability has been slow. Advancing towards some form of sustainability requires greater attention and analysis of the role played by the human inner world. While the scientific analytic tools have focused on external aspects, we present a scientific methodology to identify human critical determinants (HCDs) acquired during …

Transformative social innovation and (dis)empowerment
This article responds to increasing public and academic discourses on social innovation, which often rest on the assumption that social innovation can drive societal change and empower actors to deal with societal challenges and a retreating welfare state. In order to scrutinise this assumption, this article proposes a set of concepts to study the dynamics of transformative social innovation and underlying processes of multi-actor (dis)empowermen…
Research priorities for managing the impacts and dependencies of business upon food, energy, water and the environment
Delivering access to sufficient food, energy and water resources to ensure human wellbeing is a major concern for governments worldwide. However, it is crucial to account for the 'nexus' of interactions between these natural resources and the consequent implications for human wellbeing. The private sector has a critical role in driving positive change towards more sustainable nexus management and could reap considerable benefits from collaboratio…

The Difficulties of Designing Future Coastlines in the Face of Climate Change
This paper adopts two perspectives. The first is a framing process aimed at defining and examining the conditions for adopting adaptive coastal governance. The second applies to relevant themes of changing coastal policy, central to the testing of adaptive coastal governance, namely cooperative science, risk-sensitive planning, socially fair insurance cover and effective ways to design, finance and engage with local communities over actual coasta…

Sustainability Science Partnerships in Concept and in Practice
This paper makes the case for advancing sustainability science partnerships (SSPs) both within universities and through innovative means of integrating universities with external public‐private and civil sectors. It links the basic principles of sustainable development with an emerging science of cooperative learning that connects researchers to a wide range of partners. SSPs are specifically designed to be transformational through becoming activ…
Learning from Success and Failure in the Management of Protected Areas
The GM Debate
This book tells the story of an unprecedented experiment in public participation: the government-sponsored debate on the possible commercialization of ‘GM’ crops in the UK. Giving a unique and systematic account of the debate process, this revealing volume sets it within its political and intellectual contexts, and examines the practical implications for future public engagement initiatives. The authors, an experienced team of researchers, produc…

On evaluating the GM Nation? Public debate about the commercialisation of transgenic crops in Britain
The public debate about GM crops that took place in Britain in 2002–03 was an unprecedented experiment for the UK in public engagement. The Government, which sponsored the exercise, made a pledge: to take into account lay perspectives, as well as the views of its expert advisers, when making a decision about the possible commercialisation of this controversial technology. As officially accredited but independent evaluators of the debate, we were …
The meta‐governance of risk and new technologies
The stylistic shift from government to governance in the regulation of risks associated with new technologies is often portrayed as an attempt to reach a deeper consensus over public controversies and to avoid future risk management failures. Stakeholder involvement in decision‐making through more inclusive and learning styles is seen as increasingly necessary in order to correct the steering deficit of the state, to rebuild trust in state instit…

Research evidence and pleas that humans are undermining their own survival on a robust and unforgiving planet seem to be falling on deaf ears. The drive for economic and military security remains more powerful than the evidence that both of these objectives are being undermined by environmental damage, social disruption, unjust treatment and forced migration. Yet the signs are growing that environmentally and socially sound futures may be vital p…

Environmental Politics in the 1980s
A focus of concentration in UK environmental politics during the mid 1980s was undoubtedly the proposal by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) to construct the first American-style Pressurised Water Reactor nuclear power station (PWR) at Sizewell in Suffolk (Energy Policy, 1984). This proposal became the subject of the longest running and most expensive public inquiry in British administrative history. The Sizewell B Inquiry, the tota…

Interpretations of sustainable agriculture in the UK
With the advent of Agenda 21, the blueprint for the transition to sustainable development for every nation on the globe, the issue of what exactly is sustainable agriculture is now being addressed, certainly throughout Europe. The food chain as a whole is the ultimate framework for a scrutiny of sustainability. However, this review looks only at the changing policy setting for seeking to define and implement sustainable agricultural practice in t…
Environmentalism and education
Environmentalism is as much an attitude of mind and a certain code of behaviour as an ideology. Therefore the educational challenge is to make environmentalism real, not merely a classroom abstraction. The problems of converting environmentalism into modern western living are described, as are various remedies, ranging from new approaches to analysis to various forms of activity and association with the surrounding community

From Participation to Partnership in Biodiversity Protection
Losses in biodiversity are becoming alarming. To safeguard what is left means placing priority on the protection of species and habitats. Ideally, this should be a goal in its own right. In practice, people have to see a direct gain. However, participation is by no means guaranteed to ensure adequate safeguard. However, participation as a prelude to partnerships that bind government, agencies, and communities through coordinated funding is much m…

Environmental Impact Assessment in the Context of Economic Recession
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT analysis (EIA) seems to be generally accepted in current land-use thought as a 'good thing'. Our environment, social and physical, the future for generations yet to come, is under threat throughout the world. Urban sprawl is common and seemingly cannot be contained in the face of the ever swelling tide of population increase. Many of our fauna and flora are endangered; the wet lands are drying, our moorlands are being put und…

Spray Irrigation and the Water Resources Act, 1963
The Water Resources Act (I963) in England and Wales has brought about some valuable innovations in the field of water-resource management. Among them the charging scheme is particularly challenging, for it attempts to assess the effect of each abstraction upon the general water resource and upon other legitimate users. The purpose of this article is to assess the charging scheme as a management tool, and to appraise in particular the manner in wh…

An Analysis of the Use and Management of Campgrounds in British Columbia Provincial Parks
strained by environments already created and judgements already made. A problem of particular significance to the resource manager in this context is the dilemma of providing facilities to meet the varied demands of legitimate but conflicting interests by members of society who feel that they have equal rights of access to the public commons. The complexity of interdependencies that beset the resource manager in such situations compels him to res…

Environmental Ideologies
Environmentalism as a social and political movement mirrors the dualities existing within mankind generally in failing to connect desired aims with daily deeds. This is partly because environmentalism has emerged from two contrasting schools of thought, the one nature-orientated, the other centred on technique and mode of organisation. But it is also due to the takeover of much of environmentalist philosophy by groups, both well-meaning and selfi…
An example of environmental education
There are various definitions of environmental education, but, as basic objectives, the educational exercise should always promote an understanding of how the world outside the classroom operates, how people who live in that world respond to environmental issues, and how and why certain decisions are made. In this example of environmental education, the views of Norfolk residents about the management of the Norfolk Broads were assessed and analys…
Ecological Studies and Political Decisions
Resource management is a process of striking a balance between improving the well-being of people and causing undesirable environmental change. Politicians are responsible for making the appropriate decisions, but they are increasingly influenced by the advice of professionals, especially planners, ecologists, and administrators (budgeting officials, legal experts, personnel managers). This paper looks at the resource-management process as it ope…

The Sizewell B Inquiry and a National Energy Strategy
MY PURPOSE IN this lecture is to examine the relationship between the proposal by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) to build Britain's first pressurized water nuclear reactor (PWR) at Sizewell on the Suffolk coast and the stated energy policies of successive governments, especially the present administration. The CEGB's proposal is currently being subjected to a lengthy and penetrating public inquiry which is unlikely to be conclude…

Research Policy and Review 6. Future Directions for Environmental Policy
Environmentalism is an elusive concept with many meanings. In this paper its changing character is examined together with an analysis of how it is likely to influence public policy across a broad front. The major environmental issues which OECD countries are likely to face nationally, regionally, and globally over the next twenty years are reviewed and the type of politics that may emerge within the new environmentalism is discussed. The overridi…
