Beschreibung
This open access book is a compilation of case studies that provide useful knowledge and lessons that derive from on-the-ground activities and contribute to policy recommendations, focusing on the relevance of social-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) to “transformative change.” The concept of “transformative change” has been gaining more attention to deal with today’s environmental and development problems, whereas both policy and scientific communities have been increasingly calling for transformative change toward sustainable society. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has planned to start the so-called “assessment on transformative change” if approved by the IPBES plenary to be held in 2021. At present, the idea of transformative change, including its scope, methodologies, approaches and strategies, are yet to be clarified. By bringing together all of the different concerns and interests in the land/seascape, SEPLS approaches could provide practical and experience-based insights for understanding and gauging transformative change and identifying determinants of such change. This book explores how SEPLS management relates to the idea of transformative change to further the discussion of sustainable transitions in advancing sustainability science. The introductory chapter is followed by case study chapters offering real-world examples of transformative change as well as a synthesis chapter clarifying the relevance of the case study findings to policy and academic discussions. It will be of interest to scholars, policymakers and professionals in the fields related to sustainable development.

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Offers useful knowledge and lessons of SEPLS management to clarify the concept, methodologies, approaches and strategies of “transformative change,” which have been gaining increased attention but are yet to be fully and comprehensively assessed. Provides a synthesis of key messages arising from the case studies, which will help deepen the understanding of relevance to transformative change across diverse stakeholders including policymakers, scientists and practitioners. This in turn will help further the science-policy-practice interfaces related to biodiversity and ecosystem services. Presents a set of real-world examples of transformative change across different regions of the world, which highlight the roles, attitudes and actions of those responsible for SEPLS management in conserving biodiversity while providing other benefits and suggest challenges and opportunities for transformative change. This will help facilitate policy learning and evidence-based decision-making to promote sustainable transitions.
