(University of São Paulo)
Multiple proposals for transforming biodiversity conservation have been put forward, yet critical exploration of how transformative change is conceptualised in this context is lacking. Drawing on transformations to sustainability scholarship, we review recent proposals for transformative change in biodiversity conservation, considering the suggested goals and means of transformation.

24 p, 580.7 KB The sustainability assessment of Indigenous and local knowledge-based climate adaptation responses in agricultural and aquatic food systems / Galappaththi, Eranga K. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Department of Geography) ; Schlingmann, Anna (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
We examine common Indigenous and local knowledge-based adaptive responses to climate change from the sustainability perspective among Indigenous and local communities globally. We draw upon an assessment of 98 peer-reviewed articles to access how local-level responses interact with the broader sustainability dimensions of social, economic, and environmental. [...]

In the last few decades, the scope of governanceauthr solutions for environmental problems has increased substantially. The old trichotomy of governance by government, governance by markets, and governance by communities has been replaced by a new interest in hybrid solutions in the recognition that no single-governance mode possesses the capabilities to address the multiple facets, interdependencies, and scales of current environmental problems.

Homogenization of crop portfolios from the field to the global scale is raising concerns about agricultural adaptation to climate change. Assessing whether such trends threaten farmers' long-term adaptive capacity requires a thorough understanding of changes in their crop portfolios, identification of the drivers of change, and the implications such changes have for local nutrition and food production.

Chinese investments in large hydropower dams have rapidly increased all over the world in the last 20 years. Some of these projects have been contested both from a technological and political point of view due to the ways in which decisions have been made, as well as in relation to the resulting social-ecological change and ecological distributional aspects.

The challenge of meeting the UNFCCC CoP21 goal of keeping global warming 'well below 2 °C and to pursue efforts towards 1. 5 °C' ('the 2-1. 5 °C target') calls for research efforts to better understand the opportunities and constraints for fundamental transformations in global systems dynamics which currently drive the unsustainable and inequitable use of the Earth's resources.
