  1. 1. Advancing Resilience Practice : Bridging social-ecological resilience theory and sustainable development practice

    Författare :My M. Sellberg; Garry D. Peterson; Albert V. Norström; Sara Borgström; Dirk Roux; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex adaptive systems; Local and regional planning; Resilience thinking; Social-ecological systems; Transdisciplinarity; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases.

  3. 2. Rooting for forest resilience : Implications of climate and land-use change on the tropical rainforests

    Författare :Chandrakant Singh; Ingo Fetzer; Lan Wang-Erlandsson; Ruud van der Ent; Axel Kleidon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; forest dynamics; human influence; land-use change; rainforest tipping; remote sensing; resilience; root zone storage capacity; tropical forests; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical rainforests in the Amazon and Congo River basins and their climate are mutually dependent. Evaporation from these forests help regulate the regional and global water cycle. Furthermore, these rainforests themselves depend on precipitation to sustain their structure and functions. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Land use change constitutes a primary driving force in shaping social-ecological systems world wide, and its effects reach far beyond the directly impacted areas. Graph based landscape ecological tools have become established as a promising way to efficiently explore and analyze the complex, spatial systems dynamics of ecological networks in physical landscapes.

  5. 4. A Triply Green Revolution : Building water resilience for SDGs on food and poverty for Africa

    Författare :Maganizo Kruger Nyasulu; Ingo Fetzer; Harry Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable Development Goals SDGs; Africa; water resilience; green-blue water; agriculture; climate change; land-use change; planetary boundaries; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Sammanfattning : Sub-Saharan Africa is confronted with the urgent challenge of ensuring food security in the face of changing demographics, climate change and water vulnerability, which can lead to potential crop failure. Despite the high advocacy for technological solutions, such as irrigation, rainfed agricultural systems, which account for more than 90% of the region's food production, often remain overlooked.
