Jurisdictional approaches to sustainable resource use

Marius von Essen et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that global tropical forests are facing increasing pressures, and jurisdictional approaches may serve as an alternative to traditional conservation strategies. While these approaches show promise, there are still numerous challenges to be addressed, and the long-term effectiveness of this strategy remains uncertain.

Diets within planetary boundaries: What is the potential of dietary change alone?

Bradley G. Ridoutt et al.

Summary: This study explores the environmental impact of different dietary patterns in Australia, finding that reducing the intake of energy-dense and nutrient-poor discretionary foods is essential for promoting healthy sustainable diets. Furthermore, while a dietary pattern with a lower EI score was identified, the reduction in environmental impact was modest and insufficient to achieve planetary boundaries.

Carbon myopia: The urgent need for integrated social, economic and environmental action in the livestock sector

Matthew Tom Harrison et al.

Summary: Despite the fact that most greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant livestock occur in low- and middle-income countries, the majority of mitigation strategies are still designed for developed countries, which poses a serious concern. Few studies concurrently assess the social, economic, and environmental impacts of mitigation measures, with only a small number of strategies having potential triple-bottom line benefits.

Decentralization and the governance of climate adaptation: Situating community-based planning within broader trajectories of political transformation

Harry W. Fischer

Summary: This paper examines the implementation of India's MGNREGA in Himachal Pradesh and finds that water-related projects have helped improve water access, benefiting primarily poorer and historically marginalized social groups. Long-term political transformations in the region have paved the way for more inclusive participation in local decision-making processes, highlighting the need for longer-term investments in supporting robust subnational democratic systems.

Food systems are responsible for a third of global anthropogenic GHG emissions

M. Crippa et al.

Summary: Data on GHG emissions from the global food system are often scattered and unavailable, but EDGAR-FOOD provides a consistent database from 1990 to 2015. The largest contributions to food-system emissions come from agriculture and supply chain activities, representing 34% of total global GHG emissions.
