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

    Author : Maganizo Kruger Nyasulu; Ingo Fetzer; Harry Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : 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;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 2. Green-Blue Water Potential: : Building water resilience to attain the SDGs on food and poverty in Africa

    Author : Maganizo Kruger Nyasulu; Ingo Fetzer; Stefan Liersch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agriculture; green-blue water resilience; sustainable development goals; climate change; land use change; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Abstract : Attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of eradicating hunger and securing sustainable food for all by 2030, constitutes a major global challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Here, malnourishment, poverty, and population growth are among the highest in the world, and some regions are constantly subject to extreme water variability and scarcity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Forest-savanna transitions: Understanding adaptation and resilience of the tropical forest ecosystems using remote sensing

    Author : Chandrakant Singh; Ingo Fetzer; Lan Wang-Erlandsson; Ruud van der Ent; Stefano Manzoni; Udita Sanga; Vivian Ribeiro; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental Sciences; miljövetenskap; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution; Hydrology; hydrologi;

    Abstract : Climate and deforestation-induced changes in precipitation drive tropical forest-savanna transitions. However, precipitation alone provides a superficial understanding of the underlying mechanism behind these transitions. This is because our knowledge of how vegetation responds to changes in hydroclimate is fragmented. READ MORE

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

    Author : Chandrakant Singh; Ingo Fetzer; Lan Wang-Erlandsson; Ruud van der Ent; Axel Kleidon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : 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;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Entering the dynamic risk space : Assessing planetary boundary interactions through process-based quantifications

    Author : Arne Tobian; Johan Rockström; Sarah Cornell; Ingo Fetzer; Dieter Gerten; Martin Volk; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Planetary boundaries; climate change; land-use change; Earth system interactions; ecosystem modeling; green water; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

    Abstract : The planetary boundaries framework is an effort to define a safe operating space for humanity. Its rationale is that sustainable development needs to be achieved in ways that safeguard the stability of the Earth system on which human prosperity relies. READ MORE
