The Earth System Governance project is a global research alliance that explores novel, effective governance mechanisms to cope with the current transitions in biogeochemical systems of planet. A decade after its inception, this article offers an overview project's new framework (which built upon review existing earth system research), goal which continue stimulate pluralistic, vibrant and relevant community. This composed contextual conditions (transformations, inequality, Anthropocene...
Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is not only a threat to physical health but also having severe impacts on mental health. Although increases in stress-related symptomatology and other adverse psycho-social outcomes, as well their most important risk factors have been described, hardly anything known about potential protective factors. Resilience refers the maintenance of despite adversity. To gain mechanistic insights relationship between described resilience specifically current crisis, we...
The Blue Economy is an ocean based economic growth model gaining traction around the world. way in which conceived and understood differs significantly across different sets of actors. A particular area contestation exists industries or sectors can be considered to 'Blue'. This highlights possibility becoming a forum through legitimacy private uses resources contested debated. question activities explored critical engagement with notion 'social license operate' (SLO). Whilst SLO normally...
Expectations about ecosystem based management (EBM) differ due to diverging perspectives what EBM should be and how it work. While by its nature requires trade-offs made between ecological, economic social sustainability criteria, the diversity of cross-sectoral perspectives, values, stakes, specificity each individual situation determine outcome these trade-offs. The authors strive raise awareness importance interaction three stakeholder groups (decision makers, scientists, other actors)...
The use of a single controlled bead milling step the microalga Tetraselmis suecica resulted in soluble fraction, rich functional proteins. This was achieved by fine-tuning processing time, thereby exploiting difference rates protein and carbohydrate release during milling. Soluble proteins were extracted under mild conditions -room temperature, no addition chemicals, pH 6.5-, with yield 22.5% specific energy consumption 0.6 kWh kgDW-1, which is within recommended minimum for an extraction...
Several studies have suggested Indonesia to be among the top plastic polluting countries globally. Data on presence and amounts of pollution are required help design effective reduction mitigation strategies. Research quantifying in has picked up recent years. However, a lack central coordination this research led output with different goals, methods, data formats. In study we present meta-analysis published uncover gaps biases current research, use these insights suggest ways improve future...
The impacts of deep seabed mining on people have not been sufficiently researched or addressed. Using a legitimacy framework, we discuss the social-equity dimensions this emerging industry in ocean commons.
With multiple blue crises unfolding, momentum exists to develop and implement transformative marine governance approaches towards sustainable use of our oceans. Such will only be when they foster reflexive that questions changes existing values structures power governance. Yet, we lack understanding how change relates reflexivity. This article takes an actor perspective conceptualises reflexivity through three elements: (1) the trigger leads (2) processes single, double triple loop learning...
Despite decades of regulatory efforts to limit marine pollution, levels pollution are still high. Of particular concern in recent years is (micro)plastic pollution. Sources microplastics either intentionally added products, such as cosmetic and personal care or released unintentionally, wear from textile, tyres the breakdown larger plastic items. Marine microplastic by nature transboundary which therefore requires collaborative concerted both within between countries. Microplastic has a...
This presentation will showcase the findings of PermaGov diagnostic tool for institutional barriers identification as explored through two case studies focusing on marine plastics, namely Abandoned Lost and otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) in Baltic Sea region agri-plastics a source pollution Mar Menor (Mediterranean Sea). Institutional are critical obstacles to policy implementation symptoms deeper governance issues. They hinder achievement targets such those established European...
Marine ecosystems are facing substantial stress due to global environmental challenges that have escalated in magnitude and impact. The European Green Deal (EGD) is acting as a driver change innovation of marine governance through the development ambitious sustainability objectives around among others energy, plastics, transport biodiversity. For example, offshore wind energy an expanding sector, decarbonization maritime has become priority, more plastic pollution sources being regulated,...
This article focuses on the emergence of a decentralized institutional complex, interplay management, and between International Maritime Organization (IMO) EU in issue area environmental shipping policies. It shows that synergistic relationship both institutions has been driven primarily by commitment compliance mechanisms. By influencing IMO decision-making improving implementation effectiveness conventions, become driving force international policies, its new initiatives may even enhance...
A major challenge of future EU fisheries management is the integration with broader marine management. The focus on ecosystem based both a driver for regionalisation as policy to cover all sectors and activities at scale ecosystem. central question this paper is: how are discourses in resources influencing Integrated Maritime Policy, Marine Strategy Framework Directive Common Fisheries Policy differently which challenges arise because these differences? We will look current model governance...
