During the last decades, pastoralist, and agropastoralist populations of world’s drylands have become exceedingly vulnerable to regional global changes. Specifically, exacerbated stressors imposed on these adversely affected their food security status, causing humanitarian emergencies catastrophes. Of stressors, climate variability change, land-use management practices, dynamics human demography are a special importance. These factors affect all four pillars security, namely, availability,...
In recent years, federal land management agencies in the United States have been tasked to consider climate change vulnerability and adaptation their planning. Ecological approaches dominant framework, but these significant limitations for fully understanding complex social-ecological systems around multiple-use public lands. this paper, we describe context of lands with an emphasis on Bureau Land Management highlight unique decision-making context. We then assess strengths weaknesses...

The present research partnered with Haitian youth—who marginalized from decision-making basis nationality age—to explore address sustainability challenges in their coastal community. Specifically, this study explored processes individual collective empowerment made possible through a community-based arts center course that integrated sciences to position youth as...
Haiti is among the most climate-vulnerable nations in world, and Haitian youth face disproportionate risks to their health well-being. Yet, date, few studies have partnered with young people position them as agents of change addressing climate impacts communities, particularly Global South contexts. As a step toward this important gap, present study used in-depth interviews ( N = 6) explore multi-faceted behavioral developmental on students (ages 20–30 years) who took part participatory...
