Rapid urbanisation generates risks and opportunities for sustainable development. Urban policy decision makers are challenged by the complexity of cities as social–ecological–technical systems. Consequently there is an increasing need collaborative knowledge development that supports a whole-of-system view, transformational change at multiple scales. Such holistic urban approaches rare in practice. A co-design process involving researchers, practitioners other stakeholders, has progressed...
Abstract Non-Technical Summary This article takes stock of the 2030 Agenda and focuses on five governance areas. In a nutshell, we see quite patchy often primarily symbolic uptake global goals. Although some studies highlight individual success stories actors institutions to implement goals, it remains unclear how such cases can be upscaled develop broader political impact accelerate endeavor achieve sustainable development. We hence raise concerns about overall effectiveness by goal-setting...
The crises that cities face-such as climate change, pandemics, economic downturn, and racism-are tightly interlinked cannot be addressed in isolation. This paper addresses compound urban a unique type of problem, which discrete solutions tackle each crisis independently are insufficient. Few scholarly debates address there is, to date, lack interdisciplinary insights inform governance responses. Combining ideas from complex adaptive systems critical studies, we develop set boundary concepts...
Transformative urban development is urgent to achieve future sustainable and wellbeing. Transformation can benefit from shared cumulative learning on strategies guide across local national scales, while also reflecting the complex emergent nature of systems, need for context-specific place-based solutions. The article addresses this challenge, drawing extensive transdisciplinary engagement National Strategy co-development processes Australia. This includes generation two frameworks as...
Although researchers have studied organizational effectiveness, the voluntary organization has been excluded. This study identifies characteristics which act as determinants of effec...

As exposure to climate change increases, there is a growing need for effective adaptation decision support products across public, private and community sectors at all scales (local, regional, national, international). Numerous guidance have been developed, but it not clear what extent they meet end-user needs, especially as development has fragmented many lack continuing support, learning improvement. It timely address the of more intentional coordinated strategies that draw on experience...
Triazapentadienides, C(3)F(7)-C(=NR)-N=C(NHR)-C(3)F(7), result from the reaction of primary amines RNH(2) with fluorinated imine C(3)F(7)-CF=N-C(4)F(9). The aniline derivative (R = Ph) is a weak monoprotic acid in dmso. Its conjugate base exhibits an extensive coordination chemistry. It acts as bidentate ligand toward molecular fragments Pd(C(3)H(5)), Rh(c-C(8)H(12)), Ir(c-C(8)H(12)), and Rh(CO)(2). chelates [C(3)F(7)-C(NPh)-N-C(NPh)-C(3)F(7)](2)M, M Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, were...
AbstractInternational and Australian climate change adaptation research has identified conceptual frameworks, definitions theories to support policy, planning decision-making. However, there is more limited on the practical experience challenges of implementing adaptation. This article draws 20 state, regional local initiatives across a range sectors, scales locations in Australia, identify faced by practitioners decision-makers, some emerging good practices. The review finds that many...
Imidazolium functionality has played a prominent role in research on anion exchange membranes for use alkaline electrochemical devices. Base stability and degradation of these materials been much studied, but many instances, product pathways have not thoroughly delineated. We report an NMR study base-induced decomposition products from three benzylimidazolium salts bearing varying extents methyl substitution the imidazolium ring. The major are consistent with hydrolytic ring fragmentation...
Urban heat island (UHI) describes the higher temperature that occurs in built-up areas compared to surrounding natural landscapes. The article identifies evidence of UHI Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and extent which is addressing this through urban planning climate adaptation regimes. Remotely sensed data were used retrieve land surface outline spatial form hotspots. It was found established town centres have Hotspots also grasslands, bare ground dry forests. Research from other...
Civil society engagement is important for enabling urban systems transformations that meet community needs. The development of Future Earth Australia’s Sustainable Cities and Regions: A 10-Year Strategy Urban Systems was underpinned by cross-sectoral workshops in 7 Australian areas interviews with key stakeholders to create a shared vision both current desired future structure policy. We then created an online survey gauge broader feedback on the which emerged from these interviews, compare...
A computer-controlled high vacuum evaporation system has been constructed for the fabrication of ternary compounds such as Chevrel phase materials. The latter are formed on a substrate held at temperatures with constituent elements being deposited from some combination electron beam sources, resistively heated Langmuir and Knudsen sources. Unique features include techniques employed to handle sulfur in environment, monitoring control used ensure formation stoichiometric degree compositional...
