Abstract Reducing the social, environmental, and economic impacts of droughts identifying pathways towards drought resilient societies remains a global priority. A common understanding drivers risk ways in which materialize is crucial for improved assessments identification (spatial) planning targeted reduction adaptation options. Over past two decades, we have witnessed an increase across spatial temporal scales drawing on multitude conceptual foundations methodological approaches....
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of "2030 Agenda for Development" and aim to address issues ranging from poverty economic growth climate change. Efforts tackle one issue can support or hinder progress towards others, often with complex systemic interactions. Thus, each SDGs their corresponding targets may contribute levers hurdles achieving other targets. Based on SDG indicator data, we create a systems model considering influence...
Climate change is one factor increasing the risk of hydro-meteorological hazards globally. The use nature-based solutions (NbS), and more specifically ecosystem-based disaster reduction measures (Eco-DRR), has become a popular response for that also provides highly-valued co-benefits. Public acceptance particular importance NbS since they often rely on local collaborative implementation, management, monitoring, as well long-term protection against competing societal interests. Although...
Nature-based solutions (NbS) contrast with grey infrastructure measures to reduce risk from natural hazards. Using and sustainable (green) or combining green elements (hybrid) can provide important co-benefits beyond reduction. Thanks their flexibility across a range of possible climate change futures, NbS are sometimes referred as 'win-win' 'no-regret' measures. The success associated projects often relies on the public for co-creation, co-implementation, long-term use, monitoring,...
Urban heat islands (UHI), which can be exacerbated by extreme events, pose a growing risk to metropolitan regions worldwide. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are an adaptive solution UHI. However, the equitable distribution of NbS benefits address UHI obstructed if stakeholders not sufficiently engaged in participatory and just planning process. Excluding justice considerations weakens ability deliver those most vulnerable may create or entrench existing environmental socioeconomic disparities....
The use of Nature-based Solutions (NBS), designed and implemented with participatory approaches, is rapidly increasing. Much being made the Living Lab (LL) concept to co-create innovative NBS stakeholders in a certain societal environmental, real-life context. Most current research revolves around urban LLs, thus overlooking specificities rural areas. Furthermore, influence context itself on co-creation processes insufficiently recognised, leaving challenges associated such as stakeholder...
The tight coupling of the social-ecological system (SES) Mississippi Delta calls for balanced natural hazard vulnerability and risk assessments. Most existing assessments have approached these components in isolation. To address this, we apply Global Risk Index (GDRI) at high-resolution census tract level. We assess SES spatial patterns drought, hurricane-force wind, coastal flood integrate exposure data assessment risk. Moreover, compare current to future 2025 based on modelled effects...
Abstract The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their generalized form need to be further reflected order identify synergies and trade-offs between targets, apply them concrete nations regions. Explorative qualitative cause effect modeling could serve as an approach for considering crucial factors better understand the interrelations among SDGs, eventually leading more informed measures that are able cope with SDG’s inherent obstacles. This work describes a model template...
Abstract Adaptation to climate change has become part of national development programs (e.g., National Planning). Though communities are adapting across the world, this perspective argues that understanding social and ecological systems requires greater attention enhance resilience for achieving moving beyond Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in response world. In addition, based on a systematic literature review, identifies key research gaps addresses relevant challenges future direction...
Rural European landscapes are increasingly faced with the interlinked and cascading hazards of flooding drought, exacerbated by both unsustainable land use practices climate change. Sponge measures particularly promising for addressing such multi-hazard risk from a participatory social-ecological perspective. nature-based solutions (NbS) that preserve, restore, enhance or create ecosystems to increase landscape soil water retention while providing co-benefits people nature through...

Food security in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is dependent on complex networks of interconnected actors and the flows resources (biomass, capital) information among them. However, degree to which value chains different crops are fact their current systemic influence food unclear. Therefore, concept “value webs” better capture complexity within emerges. Biomass-based webs selected Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia modeled using systems analysis software iMODELER by eliciting factors as well...
<p>Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognized as sustainable approaches to address socio-environmental challenges. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) has benefited by moving away from purely ‘grey’ infrastructure measures towards NbS, which can better provide cultural, aesthetic, and recreational co-benefits that highly valued among European citizens. Public acceptance is of particular importance for NbS since they often rely on...
