Remote sensing has evolved to become a key tool for various fields of environmental analysis, thus actively informing policy across areas and domains. To evaluate the degree which remote is contributing science ecologically-oriented urban planning, we carried out systematic literature review using SCOPUS database, searching articles integrating knowledge in ecology. We reviewed 186 articles, analysing issues environments worldwide. Key findings include that level integration between three...

Abstract Regional sustainability indicators are increasingly being developed. Their significance becomes obvious when important public policy‐making strategies decentralized to regions or local governments. This research designed a framework for the development of regional indicators. Its main goal is assess and report performance, incorporating significant participation component. When proposed approach was tested in Algarve region, it found useful engage broad range stakeholders...
Abstract Complex sustainability challenges call for transformative spaces where participants are encouraged to move away from conventional thinking. Arts-based and embodied practices can enable new encounters with the world forms of meaning-making. We introduce Theatre Innova(c)tors, an interactive theatre tool that encourages reflexivity learning by creating spaces. Inspired techniques Oppressed, specifically Image Theatre, this engages diverse audiences empowers participants. The...
Social-ecological systems in the Mediterranean Basin are characterised by high biodiversity and a prolonged cultural influence, leading to co-evolution of these systems. The unique characteristics social-ecological systems, current pressures decline ecosystem services, need for coordinated action recognised policies promoting protection sustainable use region's heritage. Ecosystem assessments provide valuable information on capacity ensure well-being its population. However, most simplify...

This report aims to enhance our understanding of stakeholder mapping for co-created citizen science initiatives. It presents and discusses findings from an international two-day workshop with researchers, event organizers, communication experts, artists realizing activities. Participants identified examples co-creation in their work mapped stakeholders three initiatives the "Doing Together Science" project. For each case, we provide overview groups involved lessons derived identifying actual...

The nitrogen (N) cycle is a familiar concept. As the much simplified, often diagrammatic, representation commonly used to illustrate scale, importance and interconnectedness of this global that links air, water, rocks living beings. However, in representation, humans are presented as seemingly minor entity or not explicitly shown at all. This can obscure idea humanity both direct beneficiary (through food resources) an increasingly significant influence on its function. study sought...
