Climate change and urban forests: generational differences in women’s perceptions and willingness to participate in conservation efforts

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

Introduction Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges confronting contemporary societies. Despite occupying a relatively small proportion Earth’s surface, cities contribute disproportionately to greenhouse gas emissions. Urban forests, as vital form natural infrastructure, play critical role in mitigating adverse impacts climate change. Effective management and conservation these resources necessitate active engagement from diverse stakeholder groups, with women being particularly important demographic. However, generational differences women’s perceptions their willingness participate urban forest have received limited investigation. This study seeks address this gap by comparing participation intentions two groups women: those belonging Generation Z earlier generations. Methods The sample comprised 401 395 other Data for were collected using questionnaire administered through multi-stage cluster sampling method. data encompassed participants’ awareness change, its causes, dual engage management, demographic characteristics such age, educational level, family size, income, highest education family, levels fathers mothers. analysis was conducted both descriptive inferential statistical methods. Results results revealed significant understanding recognizing forests effects, demonstrating conservation. Across all measures, exhibited higher compared older Furthermore, increased issues positively associated greater management. Socio-economic factors also influenced differently between highlighting nuanced effects variables on intentions. Discussion showed althought observed consistently led heightened among These findings underscore importance adopting intergenerational perspectives emphasizing that promotional programs must be tailored account effectively maximize foster widespread efforts.

Progress and gaps in ecological risk under climate change research: A bibliometric and literature review approach

Transactions in Earth Environment and Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 31, 2025

In the past 20 years, ecological risks arising from climate change have attracted increasing attention. Understanding its research progress and evolution of hot topics is paramount. However, efficient, in-depth, robust analysis massive complex unstructured literature difficult. This study employs a novel approach integrating data mining, bibliometrics, systematic review to analyze 9122 interdisciplinary publications 2000 2023. Our findings reveal consistent annual increase in publications, with marked acceleration post-2015. The United States China emerged as leading contributors this field. Over time, theme has traversed three pivotal hotspots over 100 words. We summarized early late stages into nine aspects: (1) species population responses; (2) ecosystem impacts; (3) social-ecological system risks; (4) land use/cover interactions; (5) processes; (6) services; (7) sustainable development goals; (8) conservation, management, adaptation; (9) risk assessment major models. Additionally, we international policies efforts combat risks, gaps, potential directions for future progress: establish unified comparable regional framework; strengthen on processes, multiple sources pressure, composite enhance space-time flow high-precision basic datasets; improve communication cooperation among stakeholders. provides comprehensive change’s which may inspire researchers interested

A manifesto for coastal landscape governance: Reframing the relationship between coastal and landscape governance

AMBIO, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 53(10), P. 1454 - 1465

Published: June 1, 2024

Abstract There is an urgent demand for substantial reforms in the governance of coastal regions. Recent research advocates a transformative shift European system towards landscape approach. This perspective, informed by narrative literature review on and governance, explores potential value drawing Council Europe Landscape Convention. Our results, presented form manifesto, underscore need to move beyond political administrative boundaries address all landscapes as socio-ecological systems. It emphasises necessity State recognise them public common good, establishing specific arena with dedicated actors institutions. The manifesto also justice through knowledge co production, urging change based regional design envision alternative futures. Additionally, it calls regionalising invites scholars from other transdisciplinary interdisciplinary perspectives contribute this agenda.

Nature-based solutions in spatial planning and policies for climate change adaptation: A literature review

AMBIO, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 53(11), P. 1599 - 1617

Published: July 30, 2024

Nature-based solutions (NbSs) are recognised as relevant to spatial planning in addressing societal challenges, although their uptake is limited and fragmented some case studies, difficulties emerge from implementation operationalisation. The research developed a literature review investigate how NbS has been considered for its operationalisation included across different policy instruments used address climate change adaptation (CCA). results highlighted: Firstly, the contributed bridge gap by proposing novel three-dimensional categorisation system guide selection of suitable principles challenges; secondly, this study still revealed gaps areas, despite effort extensively apply diverse CCA. Overall, further emphasises need future focused on monitoring evaluating NbS's effectiveness
