  2. 1. Understanding interest politics in social-ecological systems : Mechanisms behind emergent policy responses to environmental change

    Author : Kirill Orach; Maja Schlüter; Henrik Österblom; Thorsten Blenckner; Scott Page; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Social-ecological system; policy process; interest group; agent-based modelling; process tracing; adaptive governance; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Environmental policymaking is embedded in social-ecological systems (SES) that continuously evolve and change, often in unexpected and non-linear ways. Such challenges call for responsive policymaking that adjusts policy when new information and knowledge about social-ecological change is available. READ MORE

  4. 2. Making complex commons work : identifying critical social-ecological factors and mechanisms for sustainable ecosystem management

    Author : Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Björn Vollan; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : Collective action holds the key to many sustainability challenges, from local to global scales. Whether it is to manage community-based fisheries or take action against climate change or biodiversity loss – the question on how to overcome the conflict between individual and collective interests (i.e. READ MORE

    Abstract : Aquatic organisms are constantly at risk of being exposed to potentially harmful chemical compounds of natural or anthropogenic origin. Biological life can for instance respond to chemical stressors by changes in gene expression, and thus, certain gene transcripts can potentially function as biomarkers, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Species distribution models : ecological applications for management of biodiversity

    Author : Simon Hallstan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Species distribution models are a group of methods often used to estimate consequences of global change, to assess ecological status and for other ecological applications. The main idea behind species distribution models is that the geographical distributions of species can, to a large part, be explained by environmental factors and that species distributions therefore can be predicted in time or space.

  7. 5. Utilizing requirements to support sustainable product development : Introductory approaches for strategic sustainability integration

    Author : Matilda Watz; Sophie Hallstedt; Lars Almefelt; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Strategic sustainable development; sustainable product development; sustainable product design; sustainability integration; sustainability requirements management;

    Abstract : The attention to sustainability impacts arising during the lifecycle of products is growing as industry wants to increase its contribution to a sustainable society. To do so, companies must find ways to navigate the complexity of the needs within the socio-ecological system in which they operate. READ MORE
