The impacts of property rights on the sustainable management of natural resources have long been debated, yet a consensus remains elusive. Empirical observations reveal puzzling inconsistency: as similar property regimes produce varying outcomes, whereas different property regimes can lead to similar results. A key reason for this inconsistency is that previous studies have often overlooked the complex causal relationships between property rights and other social, economic and natural factors affecting natural resource uses. This study focuses on pastoral areas in China and explores how grassland property rights, together with adaptive grassland management strategies, and wider socio-economic factors, jointly shape grassland ecosystems. Using data from 129 villages across four major pastoral provinces, we employed fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the diverse pathways leading to grassland sustainability or degradation and to investigate the complex causal relationships among the factors. This study offers the first empirical, village-level evidence on how property rights affect grassland quality, drawing on data from a nationwide village survey. The results reveal that the relationship between property rights and grassland quality is shaped by the complex interaction between property rights and the broader socioecological context. Beyond the property rights solution, adaptive management strategies emerges as crucial alternatives for enhancing sustainability of grassland, particularly in the face of climate disaster or in communities with limited grassland resources.
产权对自然资源可持续管理的影响长期以来一直存在争议,但仍难以达成共识。经验观察揭示了令人困惑的不一致:相似的财产制度产生不同的结果,而不同的财产制度可能导致相似的结果。造成这种不一致的一个关键原因是,以前的研究往往忽视了产权与影响自然资源利用的其他社会、经济和自然因素之间复杂的因果关系。本研究以中国牧区为研究对象,探讨草原产权、适应性草原管理策略和更广泛的社会经济因素如何共同塑造草原生态系统。本文采用模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)方法,对中国4个主要牧区129个村庄的数据进行了分析,探讨了导致草地可持续性或退化的多种途径,并探讨了各因素之间复杂的因果关系。本研究首次在村级层面提供了关于产权如何影响草地质量的实证证据,并利用了一项全国性村庄调查的数据。结果表明,产权与草地质量之间的关系是由产权与更广泛的社会生态背景之间复杂的相互作用形成的。除了产权解决方案之外,适应性管理战略成为加强草地可持续性的重要替代方案,特别是在面临气候灾害或草地资源有限的社区。

Coercive environmentalism and political legitimacy in the age of climate change: the case of fisheries in Uganda 气候变化时代的强制性环境保护主义和政治合法性:乌干达渔业的案例
IF 9.1 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-10-01 Epub Date: 2025-08-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103045

One would expect the growing environmental validation of coercion to jolt scholars out of the ’dogmatic slumber’ in which the preeminence of participatory procedures and inalienable rights is often taken for granted. Yet, as climate change is increasingly invoked to justify coercive environmentalism, the political consequences of this emerging paradigm remain underexamined. The perceived effectiveness of authoritarian regimes, such as China, in addressing ecological crises is contributing to a shift from participatory to coercive approaches. This trend not only raises the risk of democratic backsliding but also poses concerns about implications for political legitimacy. This paper examines the relationship between coercive governance, environmental crisis management, and political legitimacy. It uses field surveys and interviews to assess how the 2015 deployment of soldiers to enforce fisheries regulations influences support for regime institutions and evaluations of regime performance. The findings show that the militarized policy undermines legitimacy, as indicated by both the widespread opposition it generates and the negative assessments of government, stemming from heightened social inequalities—within and between communities—and reduced community involvement in fisheries management. Additionally, while many participants perceive improved fisheries protection, this does not equate to enhanced legitimacy, as these perceptions do not translate into support for the policy or the government overall. Instead, increased conflict—both between fishers and soldiers, and among the fishers themselves—along with reports of heightened personal insecurity, further suggests that the policy undermines legitimacy. This evidence of failure to secure widespread legitimacy implies that, for long-term sustainability, coercive measures must eventually give way to strategies that foster communal ownership and active participation.
人们会期望越来越多的环境对强制的认可能把学者们从“教条主义的睡眠”中惊醒,在这种睡眠中,参与性程序和不可剥夺的权利往往被认为是理所当然的。然而,随着气候变化越来越多地被用来为强制性环境保护主义辩护,这种新兴模式的政治后果仍未得到充分研究。专制政权(如中国)在解决生态危机方面的有效性正在促成从参与式方法向强制性方法的转变。这一趋势不仅增加了民主倒退的风险,还引发了对政治合法性影响的担忧。本文探讨了强制性治理、环境危机管理和政治合法性之间的关系。它使用实地调查和访谈来评估2015年部署士兵执行渔业法规如何影响对政权机构的支持和对政权绩效的评估。研究结果表明,军事化政策破坏了合法性,这一点可以从它引发的广泛反对和对政府的负面评价中看出,这源于社区内部和社区之间加剧的社会不平等,以及社区参与渔业管理的减少。此外,虽然许多参与者认为渔业保护得到了改善,但这并不等同于提高了合法性,因为这些看法并没有转化为对政策或政府整体的支持。相反,不断增加的冲突——包括渔民和士兵之间的冲突,以及渔民自己之间的冲突——以及个人不安全感加剧的报道,进一步表明该政策破坏了合法性。这种未能确保广泛合法性的证据意味着,为了长期可持续性,强制性措施最终必须让位于促进社区所有权和积极参与的战略。

Achieving the 1.5°C target will entail a temporary overshoot, with peak temperatures potentially exceeding 1.7°C before declining towards the end of the century. This study examines how different economic growth patterns, energy transitions, and non-CO2 mitigation strategies influence this trajectory. Our simulations reveal that achieving this target requires confining cumulative CO2 emissions to 220–370 GtCO2 by 2100, with a peak around 2060 of 530–650 GtCO2. Key to success is the transition to net-zero CO2 by 2060 and the implementation of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. Effective reductions in CH4 and N2O are vital for minimizing additional warming. Significant co-benefits include improved air quality, with SO2 and NOx emissions decreasing by 60–80 %, enhancing public health. However, aggressive climate policies and resulting high fertilizer prices may reduce food crop yields by up to 16.8 %, highlighting the need to integrate climate and agricultural strategies to balance emission reductions with food security and achieve long-term climate and sustainability goals. The deployment of CDR technologies with low land footprint, such as direct air capture, could help alleviate land-based trade-offs.
实现1.5°C的目标将导致暂时的超调,峰值温度可能超过1.7°C,然后在本世纪末下降。本研究考察了不同的经济增长模式、能源转型和非二氧化碳减排战略如何影响这一轨迹。我们的模拟显示,要实现这一目标,需要到2100年将累计二氧化碳排放量限制在220-370亿吨二氧化碳,并在2060年左右达到530-650亿吨二氧化碳的峰值。成功的关键是到2060年过渡到净零二氧化碳,并实施二氧化碳去除(CDR)技术。有效减少CH4和N2O对于最小化额外变暖至关重要。显著的共同效益包括改善空气质量,二氧化硫和氮氧化物排放量减少60 - 80%,促进公众健康。然而,激进的气候政策和由此导致的高化肥价格可能会使粮食作物产量减少16.8%,这突出表明需要将气候和农业战略结合起来,以平衡减排与粮食安全,实现长期气候和可持续性目标。部署具有低土地足迹的CDR技术,例如直接空气捕获,可以帮助减轻基于陆地的权衡。

Heatwave adaptation conditioned by everyday life: Analysing interacting changes to daily activities during Pacific Northwest summers 日常生活条件下的热浪适应:分析太平洋西北夏季日常活动的相互作用变化
IF 8.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-10-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103026

As heatwaves increase in intensity, frequency, and duration, there is an urgent need for adaptation to limit their adverse effects on health, well-being, and livelihoods. Heat exposure and adaptive responses during heatwaves are tightly linked to mobility behaviours – the subject of a rapidly growing body of literature. However, knowledge of the processes which shape and constrain opportunities to seek cooling remains limited, as academic research has yet to examine how people alter the various activities of everyday life in response to heatwaves. Addressing this gap, the current paper models these interdependent activity changes simultaneously, shedding light on behavioural adaptations during heatwaves and the underlying structures which condition them. Combining Google Community Mobility Reports, ERA5 climate re-analysis, and socio-economic data across the Pacific Northwest region of North America, the analysis uses a multi-variate multi-level model to examine how anchor (home, work, transit), essential (grocery/pharmacy), and discretionary (retail/recreation, parks) activity change together during summer heatwaves. Focusing on a climatically diverse region and modelling heatwaves as distinct multi-day events, these interdependent responses are explored with the climatic, temporal, and contextual features of heatwaves. Four main conclusions about behavioural adaptation to heatwaves are drawn: (1) A region’s typical climate impacts workplace rigidity and adaptations to non-work activities during heatwaves; (2) Absolute and relative intensities have distinct yet comparably large impacts on behavioural responses; (3) Adaptation evolves over time, both between and within heatwaves; (4) Urban form and socio-economic disparities influence activity trade-offs during heatwaves. By contextualizing heatwaves within people’s everyday lives, this study highlights the diverse, dynamic, and yet constrained processes by which adaptation occurs.
随着热浪的强度、频率和持续时间的增加,迫切需要进行适应,以限制其对健康、福祉和生计的不利影响。热浪期间的热暴露和适应性反应与移动行为密切相关,这是一个快速增长的文献主体。然而,对形成和限制寻求降温机会的过程的了解仍然有限,因为学术研究尚未研究人们如何改变日常生活中的各种活动以应对热浪。为了解决这一差距,目前的论文同时模拟了这些相互依存的活动变化,揭示了热浪期间的行为适应以及影响它们的潜在结构。结合谷歌社区流动性报告、ERA5气候再分析和北美太平洋西北地区的社会经济数据,该分析使用多变量多层次模型来研究夏季热浪期间固定(家庭、工作、交通)、基本(杂货店/药房)和可自由选择(零售/娱乐、公园)活动如何共同变化。以气候多样性区域为重点,将热浪作为不同的多日事件进行建模,通过热浪的气候、时间和背景特征探索这些相互依赖的响应。结果表明:(1)典型气候对工作场所的刚性和对热浪期间非工作活动的适应有影响;(2)绝对强度和相对强度对行为反应的影响不同但也相当大;(3)适应随着时间的推移而演变,在热浪之间和内部都是如此;(4)城市形态和社会经济差异影响热浪期间的活动权衡。通过将热浪置于人们日常生活的背景下,本研究强调了适应发生的多样化、动态但受限的过程。

Air pollution in Gaza during the post-october 7 era: a satellite and machine learning assessment 10月7日之后加沙的空气污染:卫星和机器学习评估

Armed conflicts pose severe environmental challenges, particularly in densely populated and infrastructure-limited regions. The Gaza Strip exemplifies such a context, where the intersection of warfare, urban density, and environmental vulnerability demands urgent scientific inquiry. This study aims to assess the environmental impact of the 2023–2024 war on air quality in the Gaza Strip by examining temporal and spatial changes in key atmospheric pollutants. We use daily observations of five pollutants, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), and the ultraviolet aerosol index (UVAI), obtained from the Sentinel-5P TROPOspheric monitoring instrument (TROPOMI) satellite and combine these with meteorological data (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation) to explore their behavior before and during the conflict. Our methodology integrates time-series analysis with statistical and machine learning models, including SARIMAX, Holt-Winters, Random Forest, and XGBoost, to forecast pollutant concentrations based on pre-war conditions and identify deviations post-October 2023. The findings reveal distinct responses to pollutants during the war. UVAI and CO showed sharp and sustained increases linked to widespread combustion and infrastructure damage, while CH4 concentrations exhibited a steady rise associated with the collapse of waste management. SO2 displayed episodic spikes, likely tied to fuel depot destruction and generator use, whereas NO2 trends showed temporary suppression due to mobility restrictions and reduced industrial activity. Our findings demonstrate that traditional forecasting models may require adaptation to conflict-specific conditions, given altered emission sources and rapid pollutant dispersal in a small geographic area like Gaza. Policy implications include the urgent need for conflict-sensitive environmental monitoring systems, the integration of satellite data into humanitarian planning, and the development of adaptive forecasting models that incorporate war-related variables, such as infrastructure damage and displacement patterns.
武装冲突构成了严重的环境挑战,特别是在人口稠密和基础设施有限的地区。加沙地带就是这样一个例子,在那里,战争、城市密度和环境脆弱性的交叉需要紧急的科学调查。本研究旨在通过研究主要大气污染物的时空变化,评估2023-2024年战争对加沙地带空气质量的环境影响。我们使用从Sentinel-5P对流层监测仪器(TROPOMI)卫星获得的五种污染物,二氧化氮(NO2)、二氧化硫(SO2)、一氧化碳(CO)、甲烷(CH4)和紫外线气溶胶指数(UVAI)的日常观测数据,并将这些数据与气象数据(温度、湿度、风速和降水)相结合,探索它们在冲突前和冲突期间的行为。我们的方法将时间序列分析与统计和机器学习模型(包括SARIMAX、Holt-Winters、Random Forest和XGBoost)相结合,以预测战前条件下的污染物浓度,并确定2023年10月之后的偏差。研究结果揭示了战争期间人们对污染物的不同反应。UVAI和CO表现出与广泛燃烧和基础设施破坏有关的急剧和持续增长,而CH4浓度则表现出与废物管理崩溃有关的稳步上升。SO2表现出间歇性的峰值,可能与燃料库的破坏和发电机的使用有关,而NO2趋势由于流动性限制和工业活动减少而表现出暂时的抑制。我们的研究结果表明,传统的预测模型可能需要适应冲突特定的条件,因为排放源发生了变化,污染物在加沙这样的小地理区域迅速扩散。政策影响包括迫切需要对冲突敏感的环境监测系统,将卫星数据纳入人道主义规划,以及开发适应预报模型,其中包括与战争有关的变量,如基础设施破坏和流离失所模式。

Trade agreements and environmental provisions: a counterfactual analysis of environmental impact shifting under global economic inequality 贸易协定与环境条款:全球经济不平等下环境影响转移的反事实分析
IF 8.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103028

Regional trade agreements (RTAs) have proliferated in recent decades, with increasingly stringent environmental clauses aimed at mitigating trade impacts. However, studies on the environmental effects of RTAs typically focus on a few agreements and indicators, hindering a comprehensive understanding of their effects across various resources. Additionally, the long-term effectiveness of environmental provisions within RTAs remains unclear. To address this gap, we applied a rigorous counterfactual analysis to evaluate changes in multiple resource footprints associated with RTAs and environmental provisions across 195 countries annually from 1990 to 2018. We examined four key resources: primary energy, raw materials, blue water, and land use. Findings revealed that RTAs were linked to the outsourcing of environmental footprints across all resource types while reducing footprint insourcing, a phenomenon known as environmental impact shifting. This effect was particularly evident in wealthier countries, where outsourcing of primary energy, primarily from lower-income nations, rose by 11.6%, raw materials by 13.6%, and land use by 33.5%, compared to similar non-RTA countries. Furthermore, these countries’ insourcing of primary energy was reduced by 48.3% and blue water by 15.4% relative to non-RTA counterparts. Environmental provisions within RTAs had limited long-term effectiveness in reducing environmental footprints outsourcing. Global trends show a growing disparity in resource use between wealthy and poor countries, exacerbated by RTAs. Rigorous footprint accounting and a resource-equity mechanism, including ecological premiums for resource-intensive imports, are essential within RTAs. Wealthier nations must adopt more accountable consumption-based governance, prioritising reductions in material consumption to alleviate the socio-ecological impacts on poorer countries.
近几十年来,区域贸易协定(rta)激增,旨在减轻贸易影响的环境条款越来越严格。然而,关于区域贸易协定环境影响的研究通常集中在少数协定和指标上,阻碍了对其在各种资源上的影响的全面了解。此外,区域贸易协定内环境条款的长期有效性仍不清楚。为了解决这一差距,我们采用了严格的反事实分析,评估了1990年至2018年间195个国家与区域贸易协定和环境规定相关的多种资源足迹的年度变化。我们考察了四种关键资源:一次能源、原材料、蓝水和土地利用。研究结果显示,区域贸易协定与所有资源类型的环境足迹外包有关,同时减少了足迹内包,这一现象被称为环境影响转移。这种影响在富裕国家尤为明显,与类似的非区域贸易协定国家相比,这些国家的初级能源外包(主要来自低收入国家)增长了11.6%,原材料外包增长了13.6%,土地使用外包增长了33.5%。此外,与非区域贸易协定国家相比,这些国家的一次能源内包减少了48.3%,蓝水内包减少了15.4%。区域贸易协定内的环境规定在减少环境足迹外包方面的长期效力有限。全球趋势显示富国和穷国在资源利用方面的差距越来越大,区域贸易协定加剧了这种差距。严格的足迹核算和资源公平机制,包括资源密集型进口的生态溢价,在区域贸易协定中是必不可少的。富裕国家必须采取更负责任的以消费为基础的治理,优先减少物质消费,以减轻对贫穷国家的社会生态影响。

However, studies on the environmental effects of RTAs typically focus on a few agreements and indicators, hindering a comprehensive understanding of their effects across various resources. Additionally, the long-term effectiveness of environmental provisions within RTAs remains unclear. To address this gap, we applied a rigorous counterfactual analysis to evaluate changes in multiple resource footprints associated with RTAs and environmental provisions across 195 countries annually from 1990 to 2018. We examined four key resources: primary energy, raw materials, blue water, and land use. Findings revealed that RTAs were linked to the outsourcing of environmental footprints across all resource types while reducing footprint insourcing, a phenomenon known as environmental impact shifting. This effect was particularly evident in wealthier countries, where outsourcing of primary energy, primarily from lower-income nations, rose by 11.6%, raw materials by 13.6%, and land use by 33.5%, compared to similar non-RTA countries. Furthermore, these countries’ insourcing of primary energy was reduced by 48.3% and blue water by 15.4% relative to non-RTA counterparts. Environmental provisions within RTAs had limited long-term effectiveness in reducing environmental footprints outsourcing. Global trends show a growing disparity in resource use between wealthy and poor countries, exacerbated by RTAs. Rigorous footprint accounting and a resource-equity mechanism, including ecological premiums for resource-intensive imports, are essential within RTAs. Wealthier nations must adopt more accountable consumption-based governance, prioritising reductions in material consumption to alleviate the socio-ecological impacts on poorer countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 103028"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144291653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enabling sustainable transitions in coal and carbon-intensive regions 促进煤炭和碳密集地区的可持续转型
IF 8.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103022

Low-carbon transitions are particularly acute in coal and carbon-intensive regions (CCIRs), which face not only technological and economic barriers but also deep socio-political and cultural obstacles in moving away from carbon lock-in. Transforming these regions requires destabilizing and reconfiguring high-carbon regimes, often demanding structural changes across technological, socio-economic, political, and cultural domains. Despite increased attention to the decline of unsustainable energy systems, much research and policy remain short-sighted, often overlooking paradoxes, trade-offs, and spill-over effects during transitions. This Special Issue addresses the complexity of sustainability transitions in CCIRs from an interdisciplinary social science perspective, drawing on nine original contributions from the TIPPING+ project. The collection introduces advanced concepts, methods, and empirical evidence to better understand and navigate transitions in CCIRs, focusing on Social-Ecological Tipping Points. Through diverse case studies across Europe, Asia, and North America, the articles examine the interplay of forces shaping transition trajectories and highlight their non-linear, multi-scalar, and justice-sensitive nature. The Special Issue introduces frameworks for diagnosing transition states and identifying tipping dynamics, with attention to timing, territoriality, and equity. It further analyzes how political, economic, and governance conditions, as well as place-based narratives and cultural framings, influence the destabilization of carbon lock-ins and the legitimacy and direction of change. Collectively, the articles reframe transitions in CCIRs as embedded, justice-centred, and culturally contested processes, providing actionable insights for research, policy, and planning in sustainability transformations.
低碳转型在煤炭和碳密集型地区尤为严重,这些地区在摆脱碳锁定方面不仅面临技术和经济障碍,还面临深刻的社会政治和文化障碍。改变这些地区需要破坏和重新配置高碳制度,通常需要在技术、社会经济、政治和文化领域进行结构性变革。尽管越来越多的人关注不可持续能源系统的衰落,但许多研究和政策仍然目光短浅,往往忽视了过渡期间的悖论、权衡和溢出效应。本期特刊从跨学科社会科学的角度探讨了ccir可持续转型的复杂性,借鉴了TIPPING+项目的九篇原创文章。该系列介绍了先进的概念、方法和经验证据,以更好地理解和引导ccir的转变,重点是社会生态临界点。通过欧洲、亚洲和北美的不同案例研究,文章考察了形成转型轨迹的各种力量的相互作用,并强调了它们的非线性、多标量和正义敏感性。本期特刊介绍了诊断过渡状态和识别引爆动态的框架,并注意时间、地域和公平性。它进一步分析了政治、经济和治理条件,以及基于地方的叙述和文化框架,如何影响碳锁定的不稳定性以及变化的合法性和方向。总的来说,这些文章将ccir的转型重新定义为嵌入的、以正义为中心的、文化上有争议的过程,为可持续性转型的研究、政策和规划提供了可操作的见解。

Climate change anxiety is increasingly prevalent, attracting both scientific and societal interest. However, the potential antecedents and consequences of this phenomenon are not comprehensively understood. This meta-analysis synthesizes 94 studies including 170,747 adult participants from 27 countries, examining 33 correlates of climate change anxiety. We find that: (1) certain groups are more likely to experience climate change anxiety, including younger individuals, women, and individuals with higher levels of neuroticism, as well as people with left-leaning political views, individuals highly concerned about the future or the environment, and those exposed to perceived climate change consequences or frequent climate change information; (2) belief in climate change, climate change risk perceptions, and perceived consensus among climate scientists are positively associated with climate change anxiety; (3) climate change anxiety is negatively related to well-being, but positively related to climate action, with associations surpassing those of generalized anxiety. Implications for supporting vulnerable groups, channeling climate change anxiety into action, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
气候变化焦虑日益普遍,吸引了科学界和社会的兴趣。然而,这一现象的潜在前因后果尚未得到全面了解。这项荟萃分析综合了94项研究,包括来自27个国家的170747名成年人,研究了33种与气候变化焦虑相关的因素。研究发现:(1)特定群体更容易经历气候变化焦虑,包括年轻人、女性和神经质程度较高的个体,以及政治观点左倾的个体、对未来或环境高度关注的个体、暴露于气候变化后果感知或频繁信息的个体;(2)气候变化信念、气候变化风险认知、气候科学家共识感知与气候变化焦虑呈显著正相关;(3)气候变化焦虑与幸福感呈负相关,与气候行动呈正相关,关联度高于广泛性焦虑。讨论了支持弱势群体、将气候变化焦虑转化为行动的意义以及对未来研究的建议。

A systematic review of public acceptability and perceived impacts of eleven energy sources and mitigation technologies 对11种能源和缓解技术的公众可接受性和可感知影响进行系统审查
IF 8.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-17 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103014

Public acceptability of energy sources and mitigation technologies is critical for a successful energy transition worldwide, which is related to their perceived impacts. This review extends previous work by synthesising peer-reviewed literature on public evaluations of eleven key energy sources and mitigation technologies central to the energy transition: biomass, carbon capture and storage (CCS), coal, energy storage technologies, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy, natural gas, nuclear power, oil, solar, and wind power. We analysed 141 qualitative and quantitative articles published between January 2000 and May 2021. Acceptability was highest for solar, hydroelectric, and wind power, moderate for biomass, natural gas, nuclear energy, and CCS, and lowest for oil and coal. Insufficient evidence was available of acceptability of geothermal energy and energy storage. Acceptability was typically lower for local project implementation than for general-level evaluations of biomass, CCS, natural gas, and wind energy, while the opposite was true for nuclear energy. We identified six categories of perceived impacts: aesthetic, economic, environmental, community and health, temporal, and usability. Economic, environmental, and community and health impacts of energy sources and mitigation technologies were most frequently studied. Renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—were perceived more positively than fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and CCS, particularly regarding environmental and community and health impacts. Our findings suggest broad public support for transitioning from fossil fuels to low-carbon technologies, though local projects may face greater opposition.
公众对能源和缓解技术的接受程度对于全球能源转型的成功至关重要,这与它们的感知影响有关。这篇综述扩展了以前的工作,综合了对能源转型至关重要的11种关键能源和减缓技术的公开评估的同行评议文献:生物质能、碳捕获和储存(CCS)、煤炭、能源储存技术、地热能、水力能源、天然气、核能、石油、太阳能和风能。我们分析了2000年1月至2021年5月间发表的141篇定性和定量文章。太阳能、水电和风能的可接受度最高,生物质能、天然气、核能和CCS的可接受度中等,石油和煤炭的可接受度最低。地热能和储能的可接受性证据不足。地方项目实施的可接受性通常低于生物质能、CCS、天然气和风能的一般水平评估,而核能的情况正好相反。我们确定了六类可感知的影响:美学、经济、环境、社区和健康、时间和可用性。最常研究的是能源和缓解技术对经济、环境、社区和健康的影响。可再生能源——风能、太阳能和水力发电——被认为比化石燃料、核能和CCS更积极,特别是在环境、社区和健康影响方面。我们的研究结果表明,公众广泛支持从化石燃料转向低碳技术,尽管地方项目可能面临更大的反对。

Transformation in the context of uncertainty and compounding effects: Insights from marginal environments in India and Bangladesh 不确定性和复合效应背景下的转型:来自印度和孟加拉国边缘环境的见解
IF 8.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-09-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-13 DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2025.103025

The TAPESTRY project explores how deliberate transformation may arise from 'below’ in marginal environments with high levels of uncertainty. TAPESTRY is short for ‘Transformation as Praxis: Exploring Socially Just and Transdisciplinary Pathways to Sustainability in Marginal Environments’. TAPESTRY focuses on three ‘patches of transformation’ in India and Bangladesh – vulnerable coastal areas of Mumbai, the Sundarbans and Kutch which are experiencing diverse uncertainties emanating from climate change as well as anthropogenic factors including neoliberal urban development, economic growth and aggressive infrastructure development. The project focused on existing and emergent transformative alliances and asked how we can seek and support socially just and ecologically sound alternatives based on local people’s plural understandings of what transformation entails. What kind of hybrid alliances are emerging to facilitate these transformative processes in these locations? And what are the possibilities for scaling up and out of the positive learnings from these patches?
A key conceptual innovation across all three patches was to think of transformation as praxis, by putting bottom-up change and the agency of marginalised people at the centre highlighting the practices and pathways of emergent changes and their barriers. In doing so, we address commonalities and differences across the three patches. A fragile coastline, shrinking and increasingly exploited mangrove forests, increasing exposure to climate hazards (such as cyclones, coastal erosion, flooding, sea level rise and extreme precipitation events), and diverse threats to marginal people’s livelihoods are the commonly observed factors. In terms of difference, we specifically focus on islanders in the transboundary Sundarbans forests (across the Bengal Delta in eastern India and Bangladesh), coastal fishing communities in the metropolitan region of Mumbai, and dryland pastoralists in Kutch in western India.
Using a transdisciplinary approach, a central focus is on exploring pathways to transformation through a bottom-up approach using participatory methods including stakeholder roundtables, photovoice, and mixed methods. Through local and regional collaborations, we attempted to co-produce hybrid knowledge combining Indigenous understandings of ecosystem changes and climate impacts with science-based scenarios. The aim was to restore resource-based livelihoods by showcasing local community perspectives in local-level environmental governance.
TAPESTRY项目探讨了在具有高度不确定性的边缘环境中,如何从“下面”产生深思熟虑的转变。TAPESTRY是“作为实践的转型:在边缘环境中探索社会公正和跨学科的可持续发展途径”的缩写。TAPESTRY专注于印度和孟加拉国的三个“转型补丁”——孟买、孙德尔本斯和库奇的脆弱沿海地区,这些地区正在经历各种不确定性,这些不确定性来自气候变化以及人为因素,包括新自由主义城市发展、经济增长和积极的基础设施发展。该项目侧重于现有的和新兴的变革联盟,并询问我们如何在当地人民对变革需要的多元理解的基础上寻求和支持社会公正和生态健全的替代方案。在这些地区,正在出现什么样的混合联盟来促进这些变革进程?从这些补丁中扩大和借鉴积极经验的可能性是什么?在这三个领域中,一个关键的概念创新是将转型视为实践,将自下而上的变革和边缘化人群的代理置于中心,突出了新兴变革的实践和途径及其障碍。在此过程中,我们解决了三个补丁之间的共性和差异。脆弱的海岸线、不断萎缩和日益被开发的红树林、日益暴露于气候灾害(如旋风、海岸侵蚀、洪水、海平面上升和极端降水事件)的风险,以及对边缘人群生计的各种威胁,都是常见的因素。就差异而言,我们特别关注跨界孙德尔本斯森林(横跨印度东部和孟加拉国的孟加拉三角洲)的岛民、孟买大都市区的沿海渔业社区和印度西部库奇的旱地牧民。采用跨学科方法,中心重点是通过自下而上的方法探索转型途径,使用参与式方法,包括利益相关者圆桌会议,photovoice和混合方法。通过地方和区域合作,我们试图共同生产混合知识,将土著对生态系统变化和气候影响的理解与基于科学的情景结合起来。其目的是通过展示地方社区对地方一级环境治理的看法,恢复以资源为基础的生计。
