Abstract 2020 is the year of wildfire records. California experienced its three largest fires early in fire season. The Pantanal, wetland on planet, burned over 20% surface. More than 18 million hectares forest and bushland during 2019–2020 season Australia, killing 33 people, destroying nearly 2500 homes, endangering many endemic species. direct cost damages being counted dozens billion dollars, but indirect costs water‐related ecosystem services benefits could be equally expensive, with...
As the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus becomes an increasingly common framework for bridging science and policy, there is a growing need to unpack make explicit many of methods assumptions being used operationalize nexus. In this paper, we focus on two approaches research, quantitative modeling futures thinking, ways that each set methodological tools address uncertainty. We first review underlying approach with sources ability measure uncertainty, potential complementarities. Quantitative...
Abstract One of the most controversial planning issues internationally is siting waste disposal infrastructure in local communities. Compensation viewed as a possible solution to difficulties many countries. However, existing empirical evidence conflicting whether or not compensation-based has reduced opposition such developments. Thus, before compensation policy can be considered for recognising social costs and introducing equity into system, it important understand why people reject...

Article impact statement: New collaborations with accounting research can improve conservation of ecosystem-based information systems.
Increasing worldwide use of chemicals, including heavy metals used in industry and pesticides agriculture, may produce increases chronic diseases children unless steps are taken to manage the production, use, trade, disposal chemicals. In 2020 developing world will account for 33 percent global chemical demand 31 compared with 23 21 percent, respectively, 1995.

Boundary organizations are non-traditional structures that can foster transdisciplinary relationships and help catalyze the exchange of ideas, trust, ultimately implementation scientific evidence into policy. Here, we describe GE-21, a group composed researchers public servants interested in promoting biodiversity ecosystem services Geneva, Switzerland, as an example such structure. GE-21 developed de facto social experiment for fostering inter- science nature-based policies. The results two...
Abstract Participatory modeling is a potentially high‐impact approach for catalyzing fundamental sustainability transformations. We test if participation in group system dynamics exercise increases participants' agency through novel method to evaluate potential behavioral change using expectation measures. A water‐energy‐food nexus—a functionally interdependent but underconceptualized with low consensus and high scientific uncertainty—was mapped, its evolution simulated by 46 participants...
This research examines perceptions of ecosystem services (ES) and social well-being in the Wuyishan National Park, China. study analyses importance linkages between them based on impact new designation protected areas this social-ecological system. Realisation rural is critical to park-people relations populated areas, effective resolution needed achieve positive conservation outcomes. We conducted 372 structured interviews with community members different livelihood strategies. Key findings...
Abstract Boundary organizations are situated between science, policy, and practice have a goal of supporting communication collaboration among these sectors. They been promoted as way to improve the effectiveness conservation efforts by building stronger relationships scientists, policy makers, industry, practitioners (Cook et al. 2013). Although their promise has discussed in theory, work expectations for boundary less defined practice. Biodiversity is characterized complexity, uncertainty,...
This review of the study “Road to Dawei”, conducted by WWF Greater Mekong, seeks assess economic, social and environmental impacts road construction between Kanchanaburi, Thailand Dawei, Myanmar. It also aims identify relevant Green Economy policy interventions that would enhance sustainable use conservation natural capital, which is considered be a foundation for inclusive economic development. In particular, concentrates on identification feedback loops, delays nonlinearity in order...
Over the last two decades, sustainable landscape approaches are increasingly being adopted worldwide. An important challenge for these is to analyse and improve governance systems that promote non-conflicting land uses provide multiple ecosystem services safeguard biodiversity diverse social groups over long term. Our study provides a diagnostic of gaps limitations current institutional arrangements an corridor in Central Sumatra covering Riau, Jambi West Sumatera, known as RIMBA landscape....
In 2015, the UN adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to "protect planet from degradation…so that it can support needs of present and future generations".1UNTransforming our world: 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

Protection of existing forests through Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD)—a system providing incentives for reduced deforestation—has the potential to deliver both climate change mitigation biodiversity conservation benefits. This article explores how these complementary environmental goals can be supported by international payments ecosystem services (IPES) via emerging global carbon market. REDD, an IPES framework, offers opportunity "bundle" emissions with in...
Water has a special role in the context of green growth, with important links to economic activity, ecosystem functioning and social well-being. There are three key pillars planning that can be used include water growth strategies – embracing risk, uncertainty allocation reform opportunities. One such method engaged these is natural capital accounting, by WAVES programme World Bank look at use Botswana Guatemala. In each case intensity value added separated into sectors, informing policies...
