Abstract Population ageing and shrinking are demographic phenomena with far-reaching implications for sustainability in the current context of extensive rapid urbanization. This Perspective rationalizes their interface by (a) identifying challenges opportunities that urban populations will have implementing sustainable development goals (SDGs), (b) discussing some emerging interventions to capitalise on reduce achieving sustainability. We argue a diverse set context-specific technological,...
Myanmar undergoes rapid urban expansion and experiences its negative impacts, often due to the loss of green spaces. National local authorities lack sufficient knowledge, capacity plans on how preserve spaces benefit from their ecosystem services, with such gaps being particularly pronounced in smaller secondary cities. This study focuses as city, Pyin Oo Lwin, analyzes land use cover (LULC) change, tree diversity carbon stored aboveground belowground biomass, soil. We focus main which...
Climate change causing an increase of frequency and magnitude heat waves has a huge impact on the urban population worldwide. In Indonesia, Southeast Asian country in tropical climate zone, increasing wave duration due to will be also magnified by projected rapid urbanization. Therefore, not only mitigation measures but adaptation solutions more frequent extreme weather events are necessary. Adaptation is essential at local levels. The trigger greater health-related risks. It drive higher...
Abstract The two datasets outlined in this paper contain information related to (a) the local impacts of biofuel feedstock production, and (b) factors that influence adoption and/or sustained use ethanol stoves southern Africa. first dataset was generated through extensive household surveys around four operational jatropha sugarcane production sites Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland. This project aimed examine most prominent modes existing or intended resulting contains about on rural...
Recently two distinctly different conceptualisations of insurance value biodiversity/ ecosystems have been developed. The ecosystem framing addresses the full resilience without singling out subjective risk preferences. Conversely, economic focuses exactly on this aversion, implying that is zero for neutral persons. Here we analyse differences conceptually and empirically, relate to broader socio-cultural dimensions social-ecological resilience. uncertainty Anthropocene blurs distinction...
Although biodiversity is a central component of food systems, conventional systems have become one the major drivers loss globally. There an increasing need to transform provide sufficient and nutritious food, but with minimal negative impacts on environment society. One possible avenues enable sustainable transformation might be through development locally appropriate biodiversity-based solutions. In this paper we report insights lessons learned during design implementation...
Abstract Over the last decade, inevitable rise in temperature has resulted more extreme heat events Indonesia, despite very little research being conducted to investigate heat-related vulnerability of exposed population. The index (EHVI) was evaluated this study identify most vulnerable districts events. We used both physical and sociodemographic assess exposure, population sensitivity, adaptive capacity. A multivariate analysis applied from eight indicators determine chosen region, namely...
The production of commodity crops such as oil palm, sugarcane, cotton or cocoa has important ramifications for sustainability at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Food security is among the most heavily debated impacts crop production, especially in developing regions characterized by high rates malnutrition food insecurity Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Studies have identified diverse pathways through which can positive negative on different pillars security. This Methodology paper outlines...
A single disciplinary approach fails to tackle problems threatening the sustainable development. Thus, sustainability science – focused on problem, normative, and covering many disciplines has been developed recognized as critical in creating solutions that could actually trigger a global change. As an example, environmental issues are no longer problem be solved within ecological domain but primary complex sources of must analysed from social, economic technical perspectives well, using...
Applying the GIS technologies, historical and contemporary cartographic materials, data coming from forest inventory indices of biomass state, total for individual layers non-forest phytocoenoses, real potential was assessed, as well current carbon resources in that four nature objects. The investigated objects were characterized by different spatial size, intensity human economic activities status conservation. Those were: Tuchola Forest National Park, Zaborski Landscape areas so-called...
