Climate change is an increasing threat to sustainable development worldwide. However, the dominant incremental policy approaches have not generated action at anywhere near rate, scale or depth that needed. This largely due fact climate has historically been framed as a purely external, technical challenge. There urgent need for more integral understanding links internal and external (collective systems) support transformation. related knowledge scarce fragmented across disciplines. study addresses this gap. Through systematic literature review, we analyse how linkages between are portrayed understood in current research. We assess scope, perspectives used understand why, how, relates sustainability. Our results highlight patterns gaps regarding foci, conceptualisation, methods, epistemology, ontology ethics hamper emergent solutions progress.

Anhedonia is a reduction in enjoyment, motivation, or interest. It common across mental health disorders and harbinger of poor treatment outcomes. The enjoyment aspect, termed 'consummatory anhedonia', particular poses fundamental questions about how the brain constructs rewards: what processes determine intensely reward experienced? Here, we outline limitations existing computational conceptualisations consummatory anhedonia. We then suggest richer reinforcement learning (RL) account anhedonia with reconceptualisation subjective hedonic experience terms goal progress.
