While there is growing optimism for inner transformations to catalyse systemic shifts towards more sustainable ways of being, no study so far has attempted assess how well current interventions development address core requirements collective wellbeing. In this article, we apply a novel assessment framework examine mindfulness-based and outer sustainability criteria during global health emergency. This inquiry informs field concerned with leveraging progress. Using three prominent online offerings as case study, demonstrate that have broad range potential desirable detrimental implications social biophysical systems. We conclude by discussing normative conceptions might be contextualised anew effectively support viable, just, inclusive long-term viability.

Abstract There has been a recent proliferation of research and practice on the interior dimensions sustainability, such as values, beliefs, worldviews inner capacities. This nascent field transformation is dynamic emerging, with varied terminology, breadth applications, intense debate about possible contributions well limitations shortcomings. In this article, we aim to provide some orientation by systematising core emerging domain via acronym IMAGINE. We show that ontologically, highlights (i) Interdependence inner/outer individual/collective/system phenomena, (ii) Multiple potential latent within each us enable transformative change. Correspondingly, it underscores implications phenomena for sustainability related action-taking, particularly through: (iii) Activation across individual, collective system levels, (iv) Generation capacities through intentional practices. Epistemologically, necessitates (v) INclusion diverse perspectives, required (vi) Expanding knowledge systems sustainability. The presented heuristic offers framework systematically support guide researchers, educators practitioners incorporate into their work, which key requirement outcomes necessary effectively formulate policy frameworks.

Despite increasing efforts by research and policy to approach sustainability, human impact on nonhuman nature is intensifying the current social-ecological crisis. To foster sustainability transformation, there a need re-think qualities of human-nature connections which calls for relational discourses that provide alternatives predominance mindsets postulating divide. Against this backdrop, conceptual paper introduces 'human-nature resonance' as account provides system, target, transformation knowledge transformation. The argues crisis has one its root causes in mute relations. On basis, it illustrated how only slightly affecting behaviours Western societies, are subsequently failing establish responsive Considering relations fostered making world constantly available, non-affective relation can be traced back lack material moral boundaries perceived lifeless object infinite availability. For strengthening resonance, vision partnership neglecting hierarchical strengthen partnership, will speak with an own voice assigning her legal personhood, agency, soulfulness. Furthermore, self-efficacy needs strengthened listen nourishing internal capacities such compassion self-worth. Future work resonance integrate basic applied inter- transdisciplinary links natural social sciences, Indigenous ontologies, scientific logos transcendental wisdom.

Transformations to sustainability require alternatives the paradigms, practices, and policies that have generated social-ecological destruction Anthropocene. In science, several conceptual frameworks been developed for transformations, including social-ecological, multi-level, transformative adaptation, pathways approaches. There is a growing shift towards recognising transformations as 'shared spaces' involving multiple ways of knowing, being, doing. Diverse relational approaches are increasingly articulated by Indigenous, humanities, social science scholars, practitioners, activists from Global South North. Broadly, enact separable categories society nature, emphasise unfolding relations between human non-human beings, highlight importance ethical responsibilities care these relationships. Yet while it important recognise collective significance diverse lifeways, philosophies also vital their differences: efforts produce universal toolboxes applying relationality can reproduce modernist-colonialist knowledge hinder recognition approaches, marginalise more radical this paper we explore five intersecting 'relationalities' currently contributing discussions around transformations: (i) Indigenous-kinship, (ii) systemic-analytical, (iii) posthumanist-performative, (iv) structural-metabolic, (v) Latin American-postdevelopment. We how different address key concepts in research, human-nature connectedness; agency leadership; scale scaling; time change; action. suggest diversity gives rise practices 'walking together world many worlds' support intercultural dialogue on transformations.

Conserving and sustainably using nature requires transformative change, i.e. a fundamental reorganization of the current social-ecological system its underlying values. Studies about change increasingly emphasize importance inner world, since it is considered to contain most leverage points for but more research needed. This paper explores worlds group Western conservationists their links through framework three spheres transformation. We used semi-structured interviews with researchers stakeholders Swiss project on analyse conceptions nature, whether they think that humans are part values, worldviews, these elements changed throughout biographies. Despite diversity we found consensus around idea it. was expressed personal contradictions related humans' impact nature. Intrinsic, instrumental relational values were present in informants' accounts varying intensity. Relational revealed desire reconnect Pluricentric, bio-ecocentric, anthropocentric-relational pluricentric-cosmocentric worldviews found. A transformation occurred four informants, triggered by several factors. Informants experienced informants did not experience showed political practical commitments Based our results, distil characteristics world suggest avenues better understand between outer dimensions change.

Central to transformations towards sustainability is the call redefine relationship between humans and nature. This redefinition represents a paradigm shift, with many asserting that it holds greatest potential for transformation. However, practical implementation of this often remains abstract those responsible interventions in sustainability, such as projects programs. paper aims initiate translation into actionable steps design Theories Change. It will achieve by bringing three approaches dialogue: Principles-focused, Complexity-aware, Decolonization approaches.

Abstract Complex and urgent challenges including climate change the significant decline in biodiversity provide a broad agenda for interdisciplinary scholars interested implications facing businesses, humanity, other species. Within this context of sustainability, persistent conflicts between key paradigms create substantial barriers against—but also opportunities for—developing new conceptual approaches theoretical models to understand respond these critical issues. Here, I revisit paradigmatic tensions assess their impact on research debate ethics, business. Drawing relational ontology values nature that recognise humanity’s tight embeddedness within planetary ecosystem, examine how conceptualising sustainability as pursuit life might generate insights practice into wider transformation needed sustain restore socioecological systems. The aim here, however, is not reconcile but instead use them fruitful lens examining while acknowledging inherent ethical dilemmas individuals, organisations, society.
