   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; translation; implementation; nature-based solutions; experimentation; learning; knowledge production; transdisciplinarity; research; practice; urban planning; transformation; sustainability;

   Sammanfattning : As part of current efforts to work towards sustainable development, find solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt cities to the effects of climate change, such as floods and extreme heat, there are high hopes that nature-based solutions (NBS) can support the transformation needed. Based on the knowledge that implementation and governance of urban NBS is still emerging and constrained by various barriers, e. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Social-ecological systems research is interventionist by nature. As a subset of sustainability science, social-ecological systems research aims to generate knowledge and introduce concepts that will bring about transformation. Yet scientific concepts diverge in innumerable ways when they are put to work in the world. LÄS MER

5. 24. Confronting the ecology of crisis : The interlinked roles of ecosystem-based adaptation and empowerment
