In striving to achieve the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda, governments have opportunity implement their climate sustainability goals more coherently. Such coherence requires coordination of interdependent policies across different policy fields, sectors actors. This paper explores how design synergic solutions concomitantly both international agendas. With empirical cases Germany South Africa, we investigate two independent approaches solution a just energy transition, whereby countries aim...
The German-Brazilian research project C-SCOPE aimed to take marine carbon observations a new level by combining, perfecting and expanding existing observation networks. Here we present our joint findings, based on three-year long, interdisciplinary collaboration between oceanographers, chemists, data managers, modelers, social scientists. This abstract focuses the natural science contribution. A parallel submission science-based insights. Activities in focused ocean's CO2 uptake capacity...

Marine carbon observations (MCOs) provide essential data to trace historical and current changes in marine storage fluxes that ultimately feed into the Global Carbon Budget Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Therefore, MCOs play a key role informing global climate policy as well ocean governance. However, they only achieve this potential if multiple sources of are combined analyzed jointly. This implies an immense coordination effort by international MCO community which...
Abstract In Azraq in Eastern Jordan, farmers, domestic users, and a wetland ecosystem compete for overexploit limited groundwater resources. Current studies explain parts of the problem, but do not take comprehensive social–ecological systems perspective tend to miss underlying hidden factors. To decision-making this complex system, we combine concept networks action situations (NAS) with political economy social contract. While NAS allows systematic exploration contract deeper understanding...
<p>Knowledge production is inherently social, as humans interpret their environment. Scientific knowledge differs from non-scientific ones in systematic data collection for validation, yet both involve a social element shaping our understanding of the world. The article investigates contestation processes part producing on German research vessel and Brazilian marine science institutes with particular focus identity markers gender, ethnicity, age how they affect team-based sense-making...
