Abstract Cities are important sites for societal transitions towards sustainability, which is increasingly recognised around the issue of biodiversity conservation and protection. However, cities often characterised by need to develop grow. Furthermore, efforts promote sustainable development have been criticised as failing address fundamental causes environmental destruction. In this article, based on interviews with bureaucrats documentary analysis, I explore urban planning protection at four Swedish municipalities. Biodiversity has an official goal in Sweden 30 years. As such, my research aim how represent balance imperatives protect biodiversity.

Abstract This study marks one of the pioneering efforts to compile comprehensive information on Ramsar sites globally. It delves into significance wetlands and designation across various countries, incorporating a concise exploration utilization Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for wetland monitoring assessment. Additionally, conducts comparative evaluation sites, analyzing their percentage area overall coverage worldwide. Incorporating Scientometric analysis utilizing Scopus database, features co‐occurrence map, thematic evolution trend, country collaboration map. Emphasizing interconnection between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG12 (Responsible Consumption Production), SDG13 (Climate‐Action), SDG14 (Life Below Water) SDG15 Land), associated targets indicators. Targets such as 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6a, 6b SDG‐6, 12.1, 12.2, 12.4 SDG‐12, 13.2, 13.3 SDG‐13 align with management conservation.

Global biodiversity targets have not been met due to weak implementation at the national level. National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) are central for mainstreaming by translating global ambition into policies. This study analyzes practical role of agendas. Interviews from France, Germany, Honduras, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Rwanda, South Africa show that NBSAPs raised awareness, mobilized initiatives, support implementation, fostered accountability. Nevertheless, conflicting interests, financial support, poorly integrated institutional regulatory structures remain challenges implementation. Levers harnessing future achieve goals Kunming-Montreal Framework are: improving communication; defining concrete measures clear responsibilities; fostering cross-sectoral commitment; enshrining laws; ensuring adequate public funding; reforming harmful subsidies; coordination among sectors levels governance; strengthening accountability frameworks.

Abstract With a global footprint of 10 million hectares across 12.5 farms, coffee is among the world’s most traded commodities. The industry has launched variety initiatives designed to reduce coffee’s contribution climate change and biodiversity loss enhance socio-economic conditions producers. We systematically reviewed literature on sustainability governance production developed typology eleven initiatives. Our review shows that research focused primarily economic outcomes certification schemes. expands our knowledge novel being led by farming communities themselves, allowing for an improved consideration power dynamics in governance.

Nature-based solutions, ecosystem-based approaches that deliver multiple benefits, including biodiversity habitat, have the potential to address a range of challenges cities are increasingly facing. solutions can contribute towards addressing intersecting climate change and extinction crises. Mainstreaming nature-based involves policy planning shift from reliance on grey infrastructure integrating in urban infrastructures. requires integration across sectors, scales stakeholders, as well domains levels governance. While much NBS research originates European North American contexts, Australian distinctive; priorities for mainstreaming need respond Australia's distinctive context local addition learning global research. In this perspective, we propose four priority pathways cities: i) changing conditions extremes, heat drought; ii) embedding an ecology focus, threatened species, considering risks 'ecological traps'; iii) localising bring together knowledges, research, practice; iv) foregrounding Indigenous knowledges Custodianship decolonising approaches. Urban Australia cities, globally, needs take ecological consider with nature. The proposed present way forward facilitate socio-ecological transition build more climate-resilient while strengthening knowledge, memory, sense place cultural inclusivity.

Transformative change is considered a necessity to halt biodiversity loss, as it addresses its direct and indirect drivers. Scientists, conservationists policy makers expect that landscape-oriented partnerships are able contribute transformative change, assuming landscapes provide suitable scale for stakeholders work in collaborative, integrative, tailored fashion within specific social natural conditions. Nevertheless, empirical research assessing the role of scarce. This scoping review assesses contribution 214 using two criteria. First, whether activities target drivers second, they governance, which consists inclusive, adaptive, transdisciplinary anticipatory approaches. Our analysis shows half studied focus solely on while other also Several targeted, e.g. unsustainable farming or fishing practices, attitudes, governance structures policies regulations.

Abstract The crises of the Anthropocene can neither be confronted incrementally nor through short‐term, reductionist strategies. As risk severe, irreversible socioecological damage increases, transformative change towards achieving long‐term sustainability becomes ever‐pressing. Against this backdrop, we explore how governance help strengthen ecosystem resilience, empower vulnerable communities and ensure sustainable development in Amazon. article starts by briefly reviewing concept governance, arguing that it provides an adequate framework for thinking about responding to challenges Anthropocene. It then looks at extant practices are destroying fragmenting Amazon, eroding resilience regional ecosystems. proceeds investigating Andes–Amazon–Atlantic Corridor, a transnational project aligned with normative commitments operational principles aimed protecting, restoring building connectivity region, offer alternative pathway Amazonian new geological epoch.

Abstract The new IPBES work programme “assessment of transformative change” aims to identify factors in human society—behavioural, social, cultural dimensions, among others—that may be leveraged bring about change. In this context and based on its scientific recommendations, the third French National Strategy for Biodiversity 2030 (SNB3), published 2022, contribute implementation France’s international commitments under Convention Biological Diversity EU’s 2030. We carried out a critical assessment capacity first version SNB3 initiate Firstly, we describe two-step methodology determining leverage potential strategy’s measures, robust replicable independent audit multi-criteria analysis.
