Offsets for compensating biodiversity loss are increasingly suggested as a system allocating responsibilities onto those actors who contribute to the loss. As mechanism is outlined new opportunity, expectations need be analyzed relative ensuing changes in rights and over degradation, conservation restoration. In this paper we conduct an analysis of using literature empirical material. Our case Finland, where ecological compensation offsets represent emerging avenue conservation. We find that...
In the post-Soviet period, Russian environmental activists, supported by transnational networks, have contested government’s policies. Invoking international norms and rules advocating for public's, environmentalists in effect struggled with state over sovereignty. Transnational discourses, resources collaborations promoted a liberal model of governance. However, political context has grown increasingly illiberal exclusionary. Based on qualitative fieldwork analysis documents data, we...
Abstract While societies are facing complex problems involving multiple stakeholders and interdependencies, interest in collaborative governance as a potential solution is rising. Research-based interventions policy, planning, management processes have been introduced to test different approaches tools for collaboration. The nature of these processes, tools, varies substantially, do researchers’ cultures making contributions collaboration with society. This paper outlines the various...
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting is a governance mechanism proposed as solution to ecosystem degradation and the underlying economic drivers. offsetting's potential often evaluated argued with ecological criteria. These factors are intertwined multitude of social ideological conditions for acceptance legitimacy, which have received less systematic empirical attention especially from perspective actors who implement offsets. In this paper, we empirically analyse how companies authorities,...
A changing operational environment and the growing opposition to mining in Nordics, more broadly Europe, encourages testing of new approaches mineral resource governance. Community Benefit Agreement (CBA) is an instrument based on local negotiations, which has been mostly utilized indigenous contexts, but may hold promise other societal contexts. However, a context means different needs concerns, requiring adjustments existing models. In this article, we empirically analyze what factors...
The understanding of public debates over mineral exploration and mining largely originates from exceptional situations such as accidents conflicts. Less is known about how portrayed understood under more conventional settings. What storylines dominate the local day-to-day debate? This article presents results a comparative case study focusing on newspaper coverage in three European countries representing different geological socio-economic contexts. Newspaper articles Geyer-Erzgebirge region...
Drastic measures are required to meet the standards of Paris Agreement and limit increase global average temperatures well below 2°C compared pre-industrial levels. Mining activities typically considered as unsustainable but, at same time, metals such cobalt lithium essential sustain energy transition. Several sustainability goals defined by United Nations (UN) require large quantities raw materials. Exploration extractives in order contribute meeting standards. Future sourcing will need...
Luonnonsuojelulakia uudistettaessa lakiin lisättiin uusi luku vapaaehtoisesta ekologisesta kompensaatiosta, mikä mahdollistaa luontohaittojen kompensoimisen tuottamalla vastaava määrä luontohyötyjä. Ekologista kompensaatiota ohjaavat kansainväliset kriteerit, jotka perustuvat maailmalla vuosikymmenien aikana kertyneisiin kokemuksiin kompensaatioiden toteuttamisesta. Siltikin suunnitteluun, toteutukseen ja valvontaan liittyy tunnistettuja haasteita, voivat vaarantaa luonnon...
Suomessa kunnilla ja kaupungeilla on maankäyttäjinä maankäytön suunnittelusta vastaavina tahoina merkittävä asema vastuu luontokadon pysäyttämisessä. Siihen tarvitaan uusia keinoja jo käytössä olevien lisäksi. Ekologinen kompensaatio yksi lisäkeino ehkäistä vähentää luontokatoa, jota väistämättä syntyy esimerkiksi asumiseen liikkumiseen liittyvän rakentamisen muun luontoa nakertavan toiminnan myötä. Ekologisessa kompensaatiossa ihmistoiminnan aiheuttama haitta luonnon monimuotoisuudelle...
