The emergence of the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has resulted in changes to way we perceive our natural resources. Stressors such as climate change and population growth have highlighted fragility WEF systems, necessitating integrated solutions across multiple scales. While a number frameworks analytical tools been developed since 2011, comprehensive tool remains elusive, hindered part by limited data understanding interdependencies connections systems. To achieve this, community...
There have been calls for an overhaul of regulatory and governance frameworks to incorporate the implications water-energy-food nexus. We map one small component space nexus highlight its immense complexity. draw on insights from economics socio-legal literatures show that a decentralised approach regulation based upon procedural justice can enable trade-offs be considered addressed. use case study micro hydro-electricity generation in Dartmoor National Park England when we take into account...
Abstract Many countries promote urban agglomeration to enhance economic competitiveness, but the impacts of this strategy on local climate adaptation remain poorly understood. Here, we use variation in greenspaces test effectiveness policy across and vulnerability dimensions. Using satellite imagery logistic regression, analyze spatiotemporal correlation between greenspace Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, an area comprising ~ 70 million people 11 cities, making it a useful natural...
Virtual simulations of future extreme weather events may prove an effective vehicle for climate change risk communication. To test this, we created a 3D virtual simulation tropical cyclone amplified by change. Using experimental framework, isolated the effect our on perceptions and individual mitigation behaviour representative sample ( n = 1507) general public in Hong Kong. We find that exposure to is systematically associated with relatively small decrease behaviour. suggest this likely...
Since 1995, the Korea Forest Service has supported commercialisation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) as a means to improve livelihoods mountain villagers. There is, however, very little data at household-level concerning economic contribution NTFPs villager livelihoods. This study uses village-level and collected from nine villages in Gangwon North Gyeongsang provinces (1) reveal (2) analyse reasons for differing degrees household reliance on NTFPs. Data show that mean households is...
SUMMARY Two major barriers to non-timber forest product (NTFP) commercialization are a thin market structure and ensuring long-term supply. There is growing literature suggesting potential solutions address these two issues. The majority of solutions, however, marginalize the role state institutions in favour other institutional arrangements. This study used example Tricholoma matsutake (S. Ito S. Imai) Singer commercialisation South Korea show that can play leading addressing Specifically,...
The current era of globalisation has been accompanied by China's rise as a major economic actor. Chinese firms are expanding their presence globally and seeking to 'catch-up' with in developed countries across different sectors. This paper uses agricultural machinery sector vehicle examine the challenges faced from developing effort catch-up 'core firms'. operating struggle compete small number dominant core based countries. These sectoral leaders global presence. They continuously...
Tricholoma matsutake (S. Ito and S. Imai) Singer commercialisation provides significant economic benefits to rural communities, mainly in China, Japan South Korea. Recently, a growing body of research has questioned the impact commercialization on harvesting behavior supply matsutake. One key question arising from this literature is whether or not community-based management (CBM) positive supply. I surveyed nine mountain villages Gangwon North Gyeongsang provinces Four were found have begun...
We explore the effect of individual perceptions climate anomalies on collective action within a context environmental complexity and uncertainty. To do so, we construct two competing propositions that are theoretically robust but with very different real-world implications. Our first proposition suggests to adapt change is likely be more effective when converge community. second opposite: convergence hinder adaptation behaviour. use community co-designed measure an artefactual field...
In 1965, the Commons Registration Act came into force in England and Wales. The led to removal of capacity commoners regulate intensity grazing via traditional legal means. From this policy shock a number voluntary commons associations were formed. These groups relied on their members agree upon how should be managed. Using two-stage least squares regression analysis we find that governed by these are much more likely produce sustainable outcomes. results robust existence variety controls,...
