The world has become urban; cities increasingly shape our worldviews, relation to other species, and the large-scale, long-term decisions we make. Cities are nature, but they need to align better with other ecosystems to avoid accelerating climate change and loss of biodiversity. We need a science to guide urban development across the diverse realities of global cities. This need can be met, in part

From urban ecology to urban enquiry: How to build cumulative and context-sensitive understandings Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-20 Erik Andersson, Timon McPhearson, Steward T. A. Pickett
This paper positions urban ecology as increasingly conversant with multiple perspectives and methods for understanding the functions and qualities of diverse cities and urban situations. Despite progress in the field, we need clear pathways for positioning, connecting and synthesising specific knowledge and to make it speak to more systemic questions about cities and the life within them. These pathways

The environmental impact assessment of China’s ecological migration from a social–ecological perspective Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-02
Abstract When accounting for the social–ecological impact of an ecological restoration program, both objective environmental contexts and people’s subjective perceptions are required. While this kind of environmental impact assessment lacks a comprehensive perspective. We use the difference-in-differences model to evaluate the effect of the greenness of the landscape after ecological migration in the

Walking as a method for epistemic justice in sustainability Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Hamil Pearsall, Joseph Pierce, Lindsay K. Campbell
We argue that walking as a method provides an integrative approach to advance epistemic justice in sustainability research. The theory and practice of walking as a method has grown quickly within the social sciences and arts but remains underrepresented in sustainability research, where walking is typically an object of study (e.g., urban walkability). We argue that walking should be valued as an important

Improving strategic planning for nature: Panacea or pandora’s box for the built and natural environment? Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-15
Abstract This paper assesses how strategic planning for nature can be improved for England’s built and natural environment using mainstreaming and landscape-scale concepts. Whilst both concepts feature in academic literature, there has been limited attention on their role as catalytic agents for strategic planning. Addressing this gap, evidence is used from two stakeholder workshops involving 62 senior

The decision maker’s lament: If I only had some science! Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Gustavo A. Bisbal
Environmental decision makers lament instances in which the lack of actionable science limits confident decision-making. Their reaction when the needed scientific information is of poor quality, uninformative, unintelligible, or altogether absent is often to criticize scientists, their work, or science in general. The considerations offered here encourage decision makers to explore alternative approaches

Abstract This study aims to broaden our historical knowledge about ideas of rationalism and monocultures in forestry science and rational forest management. Empirically, it focuses on the writings of Swedish forestry scientist Henrik Hesselman, active in the early twentieth century. The texts were analyzed using the method of historical contextualization. The study indicates that monocultures historically

Upsetting offsetting? Nathan the Wise’s Ring Parable and three reasons why not to adopt the carbon offsetting logic to biodiversity Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-25 Ludovico Giacomo Conti, Peter Seele
The climate crisis and the alarming loss of biodiversity require urgent action. One of the most popular tools to tackle these crises is offsetting, an accounting logic through which environmental damages can be compensated elsewhere with environmental benefits. Developed to help address the climate crisis, the carbon offsetting logic has also been transposed to address biodiversity loss. Biodiversity

Wilder rangelands as a natural climate opportunity: Linking climate action to biodiversity conservation and social transformation Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-01-31 Lavhelesani D. Simba, Mariska te Beest, Heidi-Jayne Hawkins, Keith W. Larson, Anthony R. Palmer, Camilla Sandström, Kathleen G. Smart, Graham I. H. Kerley, Joris P. G. M. Cromsigt
Rangelands face threats from climate and land-use change, including inappropriate climate change mitigation initiatives such as tree planting in grassy ecosystems. The marginalization and impoverishment of rangeland communities and their indigenous knowledge systems, and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, are additional major challenges. To address these issues, we propose the wilder

Claiming ecological grief: Why are we not mourning (more and more publicly) for ecological destruction? Ambio (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2023-12-07 Marzia Varutti
Eco-anxiety, grief and despair are increasing, yet these emotions tend to remain private, rarely expressed in public. Why is it important and necessary to grieve for ecological loss? Why are we not—as individuals and societies—coming together to express and share our grief for ecological destruction? I address these questions from three angles. Firstly, I draw on recent literature on ecological grief
