Abstract Robotics and autonomous systems are reshaping the world, changing healthcare, food production biodiversity management. While they will play a fundamental role in delivering UN Sustainable Development Goals, associated opportunities threats yet to be considered systematically. We report on horizon scan evaluating robotics impact all involving 102 experts from around world. likely transform how Goals achieved, through replacing supporting human activities, fostering innovation,...
Evidence on the health benefits of spending time in nature has highlighted importance provision blue and green spaces where people live. The potential for offered by exposure, however, extends beyond promotion to treatment. Social prescribing links with or social care needs community-based, non-clinical interventions improve wellbeing. Nature-based (NBSP) is a variant that uses health-promoting activities carried out natural environments, such as gardening walking. Much current NBSP practice...
Nature-based solutions have gained recognition for their potential to address urban environmental challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanising countries such as China. However, financial and spatial constraints hinder widespread adoption. Here we explore residents' preferences nature-based targeting stormwater management, heat island reduction, biodiversity support through monetary, time, space contributions. We carried out three choice experiment surveys with 1536 Chinese respondents,...
Language is central to the way people learn about natural world. A salient concern of biodiversity conservation arena has been understand how language can be employed by scientists communicate knowledge nonexpert audiences and build ecological literacy. The use analogy narrative are prominent techniques. In this article, we consider these two modes language-based reasoning extend into ordinary conversational public, specifically when articulating everyday understanding experiences...
Abstract Tackling environmental challenges that face humanity requires us to acknowledge new ways of working and cross disciplinary boundaries. However, the methodological toolkit used by researchers explore human attitudes, knowledge behaviours drive global such as biodiversity loss climate breakdown remains constrained. Here, we describe participatory video, a methodology for capturing communicating knowledge, which goes beyond interviews, focus groups participant observation. We draw from...
Compelling evidence demonstrates links between greenspaces and human well-being. However, the existing has a strong bias towards high-income countries. Rapidly urbanising cities in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) remain largely unexplored. The rising prevalence of mental disorders LMICs highlights need to better understand role can play mitigating ill-health. We carried out cross-sectional household survey investigate measures greenspace exposure well-being, tested pathways that could...
Abstract There is a pressing need for transformative change, with vision of long-term human well-being within planetary boundaries. The lack progress—despite increasing awareness and action—illustrates how challenging it to foster change in our complex global society. Education learning are needed enable change. Transdisciplinary learning, which meaningfully integrates diverse knowledge perspectives, contributes developing an integrative understanding—a necessity tackling challenges. We...
