Abstract The notion of a water–energy–food (WEF) nexus was introduced to encourage more holistic perspective on the sustainable development natural resources. Most attention has been directed at identifying potential synergies and trade-offs among sectors that could be addressed with improved technologies management. governance WEF broadly received comparatively little attention, importance scale in space time largely ignored. Inspired by scholarship multi-level individual sectors, this...
Co-management is widely advocated to effectively design conservation measures and coordinate policy trade-offs among sectors. Trust key in such arrangements achieve tangible outcomes, because it can help turn disruptive conflict into fruitful contestations over suitable innovation. How why trust environmental co-management emerges, however, remains an understudied phenomenon. We adopt a relational angle present theoretical arguments on the impact of social embeddedness formation...
Profound societal transformations are needed to move society from unsustainability greater sustainability under continually changing social and environmental conditions. A key challenge is understand the influences on dynamics of collective behavior change toward sustainability. In this paper we describe our approach (1) understanding how affective narrative expressions influence transitions more sustainable behaviors (2) that understanding, as well potential for using in modeling movements,...
Abstract Deliberation platforms are an important component of the multi-actor science-policy interface within realm environmental governance, increasingly characterized by engagement a diversity actors. provide mechanism through which stakeholders with diverse perspectives can both discuss problems and explore potential solutions related to integrating scientific other knowledge.

Abstract Multistakeholder co‐management is no blueprint for smooth and accepted environmental policy implementation. Parallel processes of cooperation conflict rather shape co‐managing processes, which the focus this article. Combining analysis narratives, identities, relational structure through means social network builds conceptual methodological foundation case study to explore a perpetual between actors involved in co‐designing management plans local Natura 2000 forest. Two opposing...
This paper examines biased incentives for the production and use of climate change research. On this basis, it proposes ways to restructure science-policy interface better deal with these biases. Drawing on insights from information economics, we argue that policy-makers media have a tendency pay more attention extreme results, e.g. because they confirm their ideological position or make good story. “adverse selection” scientific results located at both ends distribution knowledge hence...
Environmental co-management has been advocated and applied in diverse contexts as an integrative inclusive approach to make biodiversity conservation more effective contextual. Co-management however requires the actors involved overcome tacit boundaries reconcile different viewpoints reach a shared understanding on environmental problem envisioned solution(s). This study assumes that common narrative can serve base for studies what types of actor relations influence emergence narrative....
