What does network analysis teach us about international environmental cooperation?

Stefano Carattini et al.

Summary: This paper applies network analysis to examine the structural properties of international environmental cooperation and presents four related hypotheses. It finds that the increasing popularity of environmental treaties has led to the emergence of a collaboration network, which is continuously growing. The study also reveals that the network has become denser and more cohesive over time, facilitating more effective policy coordination and knowledge diffusion. Furthermore, it identifies the noticeable influence of European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, in brokering environmental cooperation. It also highlights the shift in environmental coordination focus from fisheries and the sea to waste and hazardous substances.

A socio-ecological model of the Segura River basin, Spain

Paula Andrea Zuluaga-Guerra et al.

Summary: This article presents a socio-ecological-system characterization of the Segura River basin in South-East Spain, focusing on the interactions between institutional performance and expectations on irrigation water supply. The research provides a conceptual model based on Systems Dynamics and generates policy-relevant insights into the basin's crisis. The results show significant loss of drylands and agro-natural landscapes to agriculture, as well as groundwater overexploitation within the modeling horizon.

Participation in protected area governance: A systematic case survey of the evidence on ecological and social outcomes

Jule Marie Huber et al.

Summary: Protected areas are crucial for conserving ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide. To improve environmental equality and outcomes, involving local stakeholders in decision-making processes is important. A systematic literature review of 52 empirical case studies shows that genuine devolution of power, diverse actor involvement, long-term external support, and devolution of rights are linked to the success of protected areas. These findings provide evidence for designing more effective participatory conservation interventions that benefit both biodiversity and human well-being.

A Scenario Simulation of Material Substitution in the Cement Industry under the Carbon Neutral Strategy: A Case Study of Guangdong

Xiaoquan Gao et al.

Summary: The Chinese government aims to reach peak carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. This study employs a three-scenario analysis approach to forecast the potential for emission reduction in the cement industry through material substitution. By developing new cement additives and improving the use of low-carbon raw materials, the clinker-to-cement ratio and the percentage of clinker produced from low-carbon materials can be significantly reduced, leading to a substantial decrease in CO2 emissions.

Construction and optimization strategy of ecological security pattern based on ecosystem services and landscape connectivity: a case study of Guizhou Province, China

Lei Dai et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization and irrational human activities have led to numerous environmental problems, posing a serious threat to regional ecological security. This study used the Guizhou Province, a representative karst mountainous region in China, to establish and optimize ecological security patterns (ESPs) by integrating ecosystem services and landscape connectivity. The results showed significant spatial heterogeneity in the three ecosystem services and that the optimized ecological network structure greatly enhanced ecological connectivity. The findings provide meaningful insights for ecological protection and restoration.

Exploring ecosystem services trade-offs using the Bayesian belief network model for ecological restoration decision-making: A case study in Guizhou Province, China

Li Peng et al.

Summary: The study examines the trade-off and synergy relationships in ecosystem services (ESs) in Karst regions using a Bayesian belief network (BBN) model. The findings reveal a weakening of the synergistic relationship and a trade-off trend among ESs. The study also identifies the driving factors of relationship changes and provides suggestions for ecological restoration and decision-making. The results contribute to a mechanistic understanding and spatial expression of the driving forces underpinning trade-offs/synergies in Karst ecosystems.

Do governance networks build collaborative capacity for sustainable development? Insights from Solomon Islands

Jessica L. Blythe et al.

Summary: This study found that the governance network, the Malaita Provincial Partners for Development, made moderate contributions to individual, relational, and organizational capacity, but had low impact on institutional capacity. Therefore, governance networks are not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Achieving social-ecological fit in projectified environmental governance: Exploring vertical and horizontal dimensions

Johan Munck af Rosenschold et al.

Summary: This article fills a gap in the literature by examining the relationship between projectified environmental governance and social-ecological fit. It finds that the spatial and temporal fit of projects is contingent on social fit. Frictions between decision-making levels also affect the horizontal achievement of fit across stakeholder groups and ecological systems, as well as the sustainability of project results over time.

Coupling analysis on ecological environment fragility and poverty in South China Karst

Qiwei Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the multi-dimensional poverty index is higher in the south, north, and northwest of Guizhou, while the overall ecological environment quality is higher in the west and lower in the east. There is a high coupling degree between the ecological vulnerability index of poor villages and the multi-dimensional poverty index, mainly showing moderate coordination and basic coordination. The results indicate that economic development in the east and ecological restoration in the west should be given more attention in the process of poverty reduction in Guizhou Province.

A social network analysis of collaborative governance for the food-energy-water nexus in Phoenix, AZ, USA

J. Leah Jones et al.

Summary: Traditional governance decisions in the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus often lack cross-sector collaboration, which may lead to decreased resource security. Utilizing collaborative governance approaches provides an opportunity to integrate policies for food, energy, and water governance.

Oil, fisheries and coastal communities: A review of impacts on the environment, livelihoods, space and governance

Nathan Andrews et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of oil development on the environment, small-scale fisheries, and coastal communities, highlighting the displacement of fishers and catastrophic effects of oil spills. While the oil sector generally has negative impacts on fisheries livelihoods and coastal communities, these effects vary across locations, ecosystems, species, activities, and groups.
