The need for faster and deeper transitions toward more sustainable development pathways is now widely recognized. How to meet that has been at the center of a growing body academic research real-world policy implementation. This paper presents our perspective on some most powerful insights have emerged from this ongoing work. In particular, we highlight how sustainability can be usefully conceptualized, they come about evolve, shaped guided through deliberate interventions. Throughout paper, also many questions remain unresolved which progress would especially helpful pursuit development. Our approach these "how" draws two strands solution-driven advice: one emerging studies human societies interact with nature other those their technologies. Consumption-production systems focus extensive work in both strands. To help build bridges between them, recently brought together cross-section relevant scholars PNAS Special Feature "Sustainability consumption-production systems." Their contributions are summarized companion written introduce [F. W. Geels, F. Kern, C. Clark, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (2023)]. We draw Perspective present here as well reading literatures.

Equity is core to sustainability, but current interventions enhance sustainability often fall short in adequately addressing this linkage. Models are important tools for informing action, and their development use present opportunities center equity process outcomes. This Perspective highlights progress integrating into systems modeling science, as well key challenges, tensions, future directions. We a conceptual framework modeling, focused on its distributional, procedural, recognitional dimensions. discuss examples of how modelers engage with these different dimensions throughout the from across range approaches topics, including water resources, energy systems, air quality, conservation. Synthesizing examples, we identify significant advances enhancing procedural by reframing models explore pluralism worldviews knowledge systems; enabling better represent distributional inequity through new computational techniques data sources; investigating dynamics that can drive inequities linking approaches; developing more nuanced metrics assessing also directions, such an increased focus using pathways transform underlying conditions lead move toward desired futures.

The tumor immune system is modified through immunotherapy to more effectively eliminate cancer cells. This has led the adoption of several mathematical models diffusion explore tumor–immune interaction, and as a result, distinctive interaction between populations received increased attention. objective this work analyze Fisher information examine variability sustainability in predator–prey model. Specifically, we investigate how parameter values influence system’s dynamics. Unlike traditional deterministic models, our approach incorporates effects dosage, introducing novel perspective. We further response various modulations, providing deeper insights into its behavior under different conditions.

Quantifying progress towards the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires countries to make profound changes and major efforts in monitoring measurement. However, there is still a need for simple easy-to-use means quantify subnational SDGs performance determine applicability of remote sensing big data tools, such as night-time lighting, tracking sustainable development process. This study used hierarchical clustering principal component analysis (PCA), construct regional index (RSDI), which aims China's at level 2013–2020.

ABSTRACT Ecosystem restoration projects (ERPs) are effective methods for reversing land degradation. However, the dynamic responses of ecology–agriculture–economy nexus to ERPs and socioeconomic development have yet be systematically analyzed. To address this issue, we adopted an ERP hotspot as a basis exploring evolution regimes sectoral variables their determinants. facilitated vegetation strengthened carbon sequestration soil retention, whereas grain productivity declined sharply since 2000 because industrial planting structure adjustments. Economic growth was accompanied by marked transformation; dominant role primary industry gradually replaced that other industries, with population employment structures changing accordingly. Rural loss weakened agricultural production capacity, promotion economic crops further degrading crops. Such shifts indicated positive progress in ecological sectors should optimized reserve sufficient space development, instead relying solely on expanding afforestation areas. Notably, temporary synergic co‐evolution from 2008 2022 is not stable low self‐sufficiency ratio, which might threaten sustainability social‐ecological systems. Therefore, efficiency must improved through large‐scale improvements conditions sustain supply. The perspective enriches our understanding interlinkages among different phases, facilitating formulation coordinated strategies regional sustainable development.

Using a tumor-immune growth model, we investigate how immunotherapy affects its dynamical characteristics. Specifically, extend the prey–predator model of tumor cells and immune by including periodic immunotherapy, nonlinear damping cancer cells, dynamics healthy cell population, effects parameters. The ideal value which promotes (and healthy) while contributing to elimination or control is determined using Fisher information as measure variability throughout our study.
