As the global community intensifies efforts to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, active carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is being planned alongside emission reductions. The open ocean, which already absorbs a substantial portion of anthropogenic dioxide, increasingly seen as promising site for various types marine CDR (mCDR). All these approaches are in preliminary stages development, and many questions remain with regard their assessment governance. This paper discusses potential role newly established Agreement on Conservation Sustainable Use Marine Biological Diversity Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) assessing governing mCDR. A step-by-step mapping BBNJ environmental impact process shows that new Clearing House Mechanism (CHM) could facilitate knowledge pluralism contribute holistic mCDR proposals. concludes by identifying challenges operationalizing CHM putting forward recommendations strengthen its capacity fostering decision-making research implementation.

Despite the critical importance of small-scale fisheries for food security and well-being role fishers as stewards aquatic ecosystems, their future is uncertain. Tackling narratives that portray obsolete, disparate, inefficient requires collectively imagining articulating new, creative, inspiring reflect real contributions enable transformative futures. Drawing on a transdisciplinary country-level case study, we analyze process outcomes co-creating desirable, plural, meaningful visions in Uruguay. Using an arts-based approach leveraging agency emerging innovative initiatives throughout country, different system actors (fish workers, chefs, entrepreneurs) knowledge systems (local, experience-based, scientific) were engaged creative visioning process. The results this co-creation include (1) series desirable narratives, synthesized into artistic boundary object; (2) stepping stones to space collective reflection, learning, action.

In this article, we analyze ideological assumptions 993 contained in 243 academic works. By developing a new categorization scenarios, investigate economic governance organization reflected as well portrayed human-nature relationships. We find that developed used by scientific community largely reproduce rather than break with dominant power structures economic, cultural domain.

'Alternative scenarios' are scarce, often only problematize one dimension structure world society frequently lack explicit drivers or pathways to desirable futures. To increase diversity future research should focus on refining quantifying existing post-capitalist, post-state-centric and/or ecocentric range whose storyline systematically even current structures.

This article seeks open spaces collective inquiry grapple with practices co-evolution heat. I apply Barad’s post-humanist notion diffraction—patterns interference entangled agency—through warming organizations, as intra-act matter, materials, bodies, discourses that co-constitute them. Diffractive helps understand how heat alters amplifies bodily differences across families, communities, firms, societies, ecologies. view forces us rethink theories resilience, inequality, identity other ecological phenomena part relational whole.
