Transformative governance is an approach to environmental that has the capacity respond to, manage, and trigger regime shifts in coupled social-ecological systems (SESs) at multiple scales. The goal of transformative actively shift degraded SESs alternative, more desirable, or functional regimes by altering structures processes define system. rooted ecological theories explain cross-scale dynamics complex systems, as well social change, innovation, technological transformation. Similar adaptive governance, involves a broad set components, but requires additional foster new including increased risk tolerance, significant systemic investment, restructured economies power relations. potential triggered climate thus future research should focus on identifying system drivers leading indicators associated with thresholds.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the guiding policy for agriculture and largest single budget item in European Union (EU). Agriculture essential to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but CAP's contribution do so uncertain. We analyzed distribution of €59.4 billion 2015 CAP payments show that current spending exacerbates income inequality within agriculture, while little funding supports climate-friendly biodiverse farming regions. More than €24 direct went regions where average farm incomes are already above EU median income. A further €2.5 rural development primarily urban areas.

Abstract Management of urban hydrologic processes using green infrastructure (GI) has largely focused on storm water management. Thus, design and implementation GI usually rely physical site characteristics local rainfall patterns, do not typically account for human or social dimensions. This traditional approach leads to highly centralized management in a disconnected landscape can deemphasize additional benefits that offers, such as increased property value, greenspace aesthetics, heat island amelioration, carbon sequestration, habitat biodiversity. We propose the Framework Adaptive Socio‐Hydrology (FrASH) which planning moves from purely hydrology‐driven perspective an integrated sociohydrological approach. allows iterative, multifaceted decision‐making process would enable network stakeholders collaboratively set dynamic, context‐guided project plan installation GI, rather than “one‐size‐fits‐all” installation. explain how different sectors (e.g., governance, nongovernmental organizations, communities, academia, industry) create connected organizations work toward common goal. Through graphical Chambered Nautilus model, FrASH is experimentally applied contrasting case studies shows this multistakeholder, connected, decentralized with coevolving results enhanced multifunctionality, potentially allowing resilience systems at multiple scales.

With the increasing threats of global climate change and human activities to terrestrial ecosystems, understanding quality alpine grassland ecosystems their influencing factors is fundamental for effective ecosystem management improving well-being. However, current adaptive plans grasslands based on multi-criteria assessment are limited. This study utilized field investigations at 77 sampling points, drone remote sensing, satellite sensing data construct an index vegetation soil indicators, assess ecosystem’s resilience pressure. The revealed that Tibetan Plateau were classified into five zones, indicating significant differences in pressure levels. Key findings showed High-Quality Pressure Zone comprise 41.88% area meadow 31.89% steppe, while Quality Improvement-Limitation account 21.14% 35.8% respective areas. recommends graded protection recovery strategies levels: prioritizing high-quality grasslands, implementing dynamic monitoring enhancement moderate-quality applying artificial interventions suitable species low-quality grasslands. research underscores importance zoning-based sustainable provides valuable insights Plateau.
