The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBES functions provide structure comparability to syntheses that produce at different spatial scales, themes, regions. Salient innovative aspects Framework are transparent participatory construction process explicit consideration diverse scientific disciplines, stakeholders,...
Purpose This paper aims to introduce environmental, green supply chain management (GSCM), experiences of large Japanese manufacturers. Design/methodology/approach Using an investigation nine manufacturers, this examines GSCM implementation as well their performance improvement and drivers among these Findings A comparative analysis shows that manufacturers implement one key practice, internal environmental management, much more actively effectively than Chinese The sample four other...
Abstract Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformations needed achieve these desired targets goals. As component IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert deliberation process with extensive review scenarios pathways...
Understanding the impacts of large-scale anthropogenic drivers on spatiotemporal processes in carbon storage through land-use patterns is a growing issue for assessment terrestrial ecosystems. However, an integrated changes storage, entailing complex and land-cover (LULC) dynamics, remains challenge. This study assessed consequences LULC regional Loess Plateau from 1995 to 2050 by integrating spatially explicit models using multi-source data typical scenarios. A Markov-CA model was used past...
Many challenges posed by the current Anthropocene epoch require fundamental transformations to humanity's relationships with rest of planet. Achieving such requires that humanity improve its understanding situation and enhance ability imagine pathways toward alternative, preferable futures. We review advances in addressing these employ systematic structured thinking about multiple possible futures (futures-thinking). Over seven decades, especially past two, approaches futures-thinking have...
The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) is a heuristic tool for co-creating positive futures nature and people. It seeks to open up diversity of through mainly three value perspectives on – Nature, Society, as Culture. This paper describes how the NFF can be applied in modelling support decision-making. First, we describe key considerations developing qualitative quantitative scenarios: i) multiple state space where pathways improving toward frontier represented, ii) mutually reinforcing...
Colocated firms can achieve environmental benefit and competitive advantage from exchanging physical resources (known as industrial symbiosis) with each other or residential areas (referenced here urban symbiosis). Past research illustrated that economic benefits appear self-evident, although detailed quantification has only been attempted of symbioses for energy water utilities. This article provides a complimentary case studyfor Kawasaki, Japan. The 14 documented connect steel, cement,...
The alteration of land use and cover caused by human activities on a global scale has had notable impact ecosystem services at regional levels, which are crucial for the survival welfare beings. Merbil, small freshwater wetland located in Brahmaputra basin Assam, India, is not exempt from this phenomenon. In present study, we have estimated shown spatio-temporal variation service values response to years 1990, 2000, 2010, 2021, predicted same 2030 2040. Supervised classification CA-Markov...
To halt further destruction of the biosphere, most people and societies around globe need to transform their relationships with nature. The internationally agreed vision under Convention Biological Diversity-Living in harmony nature-is that "By 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet delivering benefits essential for all people". In this context, there are variety debates between alternative perspectives on...
Abstract Climate change and anthropogenic factors have exacerbated flood risks in many regions across the globe, including Himalayan foothill region India. The Jia Bharali River basin, situated this vulnerable area, frequently experiences high-magnitude floods, causing significant damage to environment local communities. Developing accurate reliable susceptibility models is crucial for effective prevention, management, adaptation strategies. In study, we aimed generate a comprehensive zone...
Many Japanese and European landscapes harbor biocultural diversity that has been shaped by human agency over centuries. However, these are threatened widespread land abandonment, land-use changes, urbanization. The aim of this study is to use a "solution scanning" method identify place-based food networks in Europe Japan reinforce linkages between biological cultural landscapes. In our analysis 26 13 cases, we find typically located heterogeneous landscapes, driven civil society (and less...
Abstract Floods represent a significant threat to human life, property, and agriculture, especially in low-lying floodplains. This study assesses flood susceptibility the Brahmaputra River basin, which spans China, India, Bhutan, Bangladesh—an area notorious for frequent flooding due saturation of river water intake capacity. We developed evaluated several innovative models predicting by employing Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Machine Learning (ML) techniques. The showed robust...
Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are non-material benefits that indispensable for the health and well-being of communities. CES often spatially explicit fluctuate according to knowledge, beliefs, perception users location. Therefore, understanding spatial patterns perceived by people from different backgrounds is important decision-makers carry out proactive landscape planning. In this study, we investigated differences in between residents tourists on Ishigaki Island, Japan. The study...
This study explores the connectivity of upland farmers and downstream fishers through interlinkages water, energy food within Dampalit sub-watershed Laguna Lake, Philippines. The aim is to yield policy relevant results improve status water resources products reduce possible user conflicts. Surveying 176 households mainly in mid- areas elements local Water-Energy-Food Nexus (WEF-Nexus) were identified by five capitals sustainable livelihood approach a socio-ecological network analysis....
