The global transition to renewable energy has intensified the demand for critical minerals, which are essential components in key green technologies. Many of these minerals are abundant on the international seabed, but negotiations surrounding deep-sea mining regulations have met significant challenges. Developing countries, having historically been marginalized in the benefits of resource extraction, have expressed concern about the regulatory framework for deep-sea areas. Additionally, scientific understanding of the potential ecological impacts of deep-sea mining on marine ecosystems remains limited. Despite these concerns, the economic incentives for exploiting deep-sea minerals are driving pressure to finalize regulatory frameworks and commence mining activities. While speculation abounds regarding the future trajectory of deep seabed mining, significant uncertainties persist when considering its development in international waters. This paper explores these uncertainties and examines the potential future implications of global policy decisions for both ecological sustainability and economic outcomes. Drawing on document analysis and expert interviews, we identify critical uncertainties and other drivers of change shaping the future of deep-sea mining. Using the 2 x 2 ‘intuitive logics’ matrix method, we develop scenario narratives based on the two most critical uncertainties: the place of environmental management and redistribution of benefits in the nascent industry. The scenarios present possible futures for deep-sea mining in international waters, providing insights to inform regulatory decision-making.

全球向可再生能源的过渡加剧了对关键矿物的需求，这些矿物是关键绿色技术的重要组成部分。国际海底蕴藏着丰富的这些矿物，但围绕深海采矿法规的谈判遇到了重大挑战。发展中国家历来在资源开采的利益中处于边缘地位，它们对深海地区的监管框架表示关切。此外，对深海采矿对海洋生态系统的潜在生态影响的科学认识仍然有限。尽管存在这些关切，开采深海矿物的经济动机正在推动最后确定管理框架和开始采矿活动的压力。虽然对深海海底采矿的未来轨迹有很多猜测，但考虑到其在国际水域的发展，仍然存在重大的不确定性。本文探讨了这些不确定性，并研究了全球政策决策对生态可持续性和经济结果的潜在未来影响。根据文件分析和专家访谈，我们确定了影响深海采矿未来的关键不确定性和其他变化驱动因素。使用2 × 2的“直观逻辑”矩阵方法，我们基于两个最关键的不确定性：环境管理的位置和新兴行业的利益再分配，开发了场景叙述。这些情景展示了国际水域深海采矿的可能未来，为监管决策提供了见解。

Background

Governance efforts to address environmental degradation and consequent impacts on human health and wellbeing have had limited effectiveness to date. A unified planetary health approach that is holistic and integrates stewardship and alternative ways of knowing, being and doing may provide more successful governance pathways. Accordingly, we developed a research agenda intended to pursue transformational pathways that progress planetary health and embrace a modus operandi of stewardship across multiple governance levels.

Methods

We used the 2018 Earth System Governance (ESG) research framework to guide a rapid review of the literature and establish a research agenda for planetary health within the context of earth system governance. We used a consensus process to support the identification and development of research questions. We developed a search strategy and used Scopus and PubMed to identify peer-reviewed literature published in English relating to planetary health and the four ESG contextual conditions: transformations, inequality, Anthropocene, and diversity.

Results

88 articles were included in the review. A majority were published between 2020 and 2023. Common topics included food systems and land use change, climate change, post-pandemic opportunities, as well as curriculum and research activities relating to planetary health. Systems and justice were key concepts. While interventions were commonly proposed in included articles, there was limited consideration of the role of governance.

Conclusion

There remains scarce literature exploring fundamental questions on the relationship between planetary health and earth system governance. This presents an important opportunity to interrogate research questions pertaining to planetary health and earth system governance to support the urgent action. We propose initial questions that form the basis of a research agenda to extend our understanding of planetary health in the context of earth system governance.

迄今为止，治理为解决环境退化及其对人类健康和福祉的影响所作的努力成效有限。统一的地球健康方针是整体的，将管理与认识、存在和行动的其他方式结合起来，可能提供更成功的治理途径。因此，我们制定了一项研究议程，旨在寻求促进地球健康的变革途径，并采用跨多个治理级别的管理方式。方法：我们使用2018年地球系统治理（ESG）研究框架来指导对文献的快速回顾，并在地球系统治理的背景下建立行星健康的研究议程。我们使用共识过程来支持研究问题的识别和发展。我们制定了一项搜索策略，并使用Scopus和PubMed来识别与地球健康和四个ESG背景条件（转型、不平等、人类世和多样性）相关的同行评议的英文文献。结果共纳入88篇文献。其中大部分出版于2020年至2023年之间。共同的主题包括粮食系统和土地利用变化、气候变化、大流行后的机会，以及与地球健康有关的课程和研究活动。制度和正义是关键概念。虽然所收录的文章通常提出干预措施，但对治理作用的考虑有限。结论探索行星健康与地球系统治理之间关系的基本问题的文献仍然很少。这提供了一个重要的机会来询问有关行星健康和地球系统治理的研究问题，以支持紧急行动。我们提出初步问题，形成研究议程的基础，以扩大我们对地球系统治理背景下的行星健康的理解。

Municipal governments in the global South with weak governance capacities and resources must urgently build their capacities to address climate impacts. Building on the concept ‘bringing the state back in’, the paper discusses the influence of ideational evolution within municipal governments on their capacity to pursue contextual climate policies. Ideational evolution within the government was traced by unpacking policymaking processes (learning, puzzling, and powering) and actors (governmental and non-governmental) involved. The framework explains how a global South municipal government improved its capacity to formulate and adopt an integrated, cross-sectoral and contextual climate policy without any domestic or international mandate. Triangulated information –(climate) policy documents, existing literature, interviews with policymakers-forms the basis of the study. In theorising from and for the global South, the study presents a framework, supported by empirics, on the influence of local and contextual ideation on municipal decision-making capacity to institutionally respond against climate change.

发展中国家治理能力和资源薄弱的地方政府必须紧急加强应对气候影响的能力建设。基于“让国家回归”的概念，本文讨论了市政府内部的观念演变对其执行情境气候政策的能力的影响。通过分析政策制定过程（学习、困惑和授权）和参与者（政府和非政府），可以追踪政府内部的观念演变。该框架解释了全球南方城市政府如何在没有任何国内或国际授权的情况下提高其制定和采用综合、跨部门和背景气候政策的能力。三角信息——（气候）政策文件、现有文献、对政策制定者的采访——构成了这项研究的基础。在从全球发展中国家和为其建立理论的过程中，该研究提出了一个框架，并得到了经验的支持，探讨了地方和背景思想对市政决策能力的影响，从而在制度上应对气候变化。

Achieving social and health equity on a healthy planet requires attending to the structural drivers of intersecting crises of global environmental change, social inequities, and health inequities. A diverse group of early career researchers have formed a new network aligned in advancing work that promotes planetary health equity. This Perspective articulates proposed future research directions emerging from shared understandings of intersecting governance and policy challenges, including sections on transdisciplinary and co-productive knowledge paradigms; political economy and governance; policy integration; and opportunities to advance planetary health equity. We present this agenda with reference to a range of substantive environmental- and health-related domains, including food systems governance, trade policy, energy policy, urban planning, and education. As early career researchers in the emerging field of planetary health equity, these future directions for research are intended to offer novel avenues towards the goals of social and health equity in a stable Earth system.

在一个健康的地球上实现社会和卫生公平，需要关注全球环境变化、社会不平等和卫生不平等等交叉危机的结构性驱动因素。一群不同的早期职业研究人员组成了一个新的网络，致力于推进促进地球健康公平的工作。本展望阐明了未来的研究方向，这些方向来自对交叉治理和政策挑战的共同理解，包括跨学科和共同生产知识范式的部分；政治经济与治理；政策集成;以及促进地球健康公平的机会。我们提出的这一议程涉及一系列实质性的环境和健康相关领域，包括食品系统治理、贸易政策、能源政策、城市规划和教育。作为新兴的行星健康公平领域的早期职业研究人员，这些未来的研究方向旨在为实现稳定的地球系统中的社会和健康公平的目标提供新的途径。

While commentaries often bemoan the lack of political will to “transform our world”, there is little analysis of country-level politics around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article aims to fill that gap through assessing the preferences and priorities of governments and local elites, as well as related conflicts around the SDGs. We want to investigate what political elites want to achieve through the SDGs. For this, we build on eleven exploratory country cases: Belarus, Brazil, China, Egypt, India, Kenya, Palestine, Republic of Korea, Russia, South Africa, and Sudan. Alongside specific findings for these countries, the article presents conclusions on the significance of country-level politics for SDG implementation and three clusters of hypotheses for future research. The most prominent finding is governments’ emphasis on (pre-existing) top-priority programmes: Governments seek to make the SDGs serve their political objectives, while leveraging them for greater legitimacy. Other relevant aspects include state fragility and the SDG governance architecture at the national level. The article concludes with a discussion of policy-relevant implications and recommendations.

虽然评论经常哀叹缺乏“改变世界”的政治意愿，但很少有关于可持续发展目标（SDGs）的国家层面政治分析。本文旨在通过评估政府和地方精英的偏好和优先事项，以及围绕可持续发展目标的相关冲突，填补这一空白。我们想调查政治精英们想通过可持续发展目标实现什么。为此，我们以11个探索性国家案例为基础：白俄罗斯、巴西、中国、埃及、印度、肯尼亚、巴勒斯坦、大韩民国、俄罗斯、南非和苏丹。除了针对这些国家的具体发现外，本文还提出了关于国家层面政治对可持续发展目标实施的重要性的结论，并为未来的研究提供了三组假设。最突出的发现是各国政府对（已有的）最优先项目的重视：各国政府力求使可持续发展目标服务于其政治目标，同时利用这些目标获得更大的合法性。其他相关方面包括国家脆弱性和国家层面的可持续发展目标治理架构。文章最后讨论了与政策相关的影响和建议。

Pacific Island Countries (PICs) face significant challenges accessing essential climate finance for adaptation as these states become increasingly vulnerable to climate change. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) aims for a ‘paradigm shift’ toward climate-resilient development, but its structural innovations have yet to benefit the most vulnerable Pacific communities or establish strong local connections. The GCF's stringent accreditation requirements and complex project proposal processes hinder local adaptation efforts, leading to reliance on traditional donor-recipient relationships and international accredited entities. To address this, we identify how the GCF can reform its modalities to provide direct, simplified, and small-scale grants that prioritise locally-led adaptation approaches. Using metrics for success identified in Community-Based and Locally-Led Adaptation approaches, the article proposes criteria for structuring and evaluating these modalities. It advocates for a transformative funding window within the GCF to increase local adaptation grants in PICs and facilitate fund percolation from global to local levels.

太平洋岛国（PICs）在获取用于适应气候变化的基本气候资金方面面临巨大挑战，因为这些国家越来越容易受到气候变化的影响。绿色气候基金（GCF）的目标是实现 "模式转变"，实现具有气候适应能力的发展，但其结构创新尚未惠及最脆弱的太平洋社区，也未与当地建立紧密联系。绿色气候基金严格的认证要求和复杂的项目提案流程阻碍了当地的适应努力，导致他们依赖于传统的捐助方-受援方关系和国际认证实体。为解决这一问题，我们确定了绿色气候基金如何改革其模式，以提供直接、简化和小规模的赠款，优先考虑当地主导的适应方法。文章利用 "基于社区的适应 "和 "地方主导的适应 "方法中确定的成功指标，提出了构建和评估这些模式的标准。文章主张在全球合作框架内设立一个变革性供资窗口，以增加太平洋岛屿国家的地方适应赠款，并促进资金从全球向地方的渗透。

Many private philanthropic foundations are engaging intermediary organizations as a strategy to better integrate justice into their grantmaking. This study examines how intermediary organizations work in practice and how they can or cannot contribute to justice in conservation funding. We employed Q methodology and a knowledge co-production approach to examine grantees’ experiences of justice in their grantmaking relationship with a funding intermediary, the Micronesia Conservation Trust (MCT). Using a collaborative process of knowledge creation and interpretation, we identified three distinct perspectives: 1. Intermediaries bridge gaps in justice; 2. Intermediaries are helpful but constrained; and 3. Intermediaries cannot solve injustice in conservation funding. Our findings indicate that while intermediaries can play a vital role in advancing justice in grant-making relationships, they are not a silver bullet for addressing injustices that are inherent to funding dynamics.

许多私人慈善基金会正在与中介机构合作，将其作为一种策略，以更好地将正义融入其资助中。本研究考察了中介组织在实践中如何工作，以及它们如何能够或不能在保护资金方面为正义做出贡献。我们采用Q方法和知识合作生产方法来检查受助者在与资助中介机构密克罗尼西亚保护信托基金（MCT）的资助关系中的司法经验。使用知识创造和解释的协作过程，我们确定了三个不同的视角：1。中介机构弥合了司法鸿沟；2. 中介是有帮助的，但受到限制；和3。中介机构无法解决保护资金的不公正问题。我们的研究结果表明，虽然中介机构可以在促进资助关系的公正方面发挥至关重要的作用，但它们并不是解决资助动态中固有的不公正问题的灵丹妙药。

Governance through goals in action: How multi-stakeholder partnerships translate and connect the SDGs 通过行动中的目标进行治理：多利益攸关方伙伴关系如何转化和连接可持续发展目标

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reflect a ‘governance through goals’ approach to earth system governance, which requires collaborative action through multi-stakeholder partnerships and tailored responses that address SDG interactions. This article focuses on goal-setting as a possible response to the SDGs. By bridging governance through goals and SDG interaction literature, we develop a two-dimensional framework to explore specificity (how precise are the goals?) and connectivity (how are SDGs, institutions, and actors connected?) in goals. From examining a sample of 414 goals belonging to 64 multi-stakeholder partnerships with the potential to address SDG13 on Climate Action, the article contributes to the special issue by providing a novel account of how multi-stakeholder partnerships translate and address combinations of SDGs differently. The article engages with academic and policy debates on the steering effects of governance through goals, by discussing the potential of lofty goals to facilitate an integrated, accelerated approach to SDG implementation.

可持续发展目标（SDG）反映了“通过目标进行治理”的地球系统治理方法，这需要通过多利益攸关方伙伴关系采取协作行动，并针对可持续发展目标之间的相互作用采取量身定制的应对措施。本文关注的是目标设定作为对可持续发展目标的可能回应。通过将治理与目标和可持续发展目标相互作用的文献联系起来，我们开发了一个二维框架来探索目标的特殊性（目标有多精确？）和连通性（可持续发展目标、机构和行动者如何联系？）。本文分析了64个多利益攸关方伙伴关系的414个目标样本，这些目标有可能解决关于气候行动的可持续发展目标13，本文通过对多利益攸关方伙伴关系如何以不同方式转化和解决可持续发展目标组合的新颖描述，为本期特刊做出了贡献。本文通过讨论崇高目标促进可持续发展目标实现的综合、加速方法的潜力，参与了关于通过目标进行治理的指导作用的学术和政策辩论。

Transformative change is becoming a key concept in the scientific conceptualization of sustainability. We assess five environmental governance approaches: adaptive, earth system, evolutionary, transformative and transition governance. We ask 1) What characterizes the different governance approaches, and how do they understand the dynamics of change? 2) How is the role of law conceptualized in the context of these governance approaches? The five studied approaches present different and complementary ways of describing change and how it unfolds or can be steered. According to our literature review, collaboration, leadership, learning, plurality, empowering, innovation and vision are seen as key mechanisms for change, while law is often oversimplified in these governance approaches, either as an enabler of or as a barrier to change towards sustainability. Future avenues of research could include how disruptive elements could be introduced as a way of catalyzing change and how to strengthen legal analysis to transformative change.

变革性变化正在成为可持续发展科学概念中的一个关键概念。我们评估了五种环境治理方法：适应性治理、地球系统治理、进化治理、变革治理和过渡治理。我们的问题是：1)不同治理方法的特点是什么？它们如何理解变化的动态？2)在这些治理方法的背景下，法律的作用是如何概念化的？所研究的五种方法呈现了描述变化以及如何展开或如何引导变化的不同和互补的方式。根据我们的文献综述，协作、领导、学习、多元化、赋权、创新和愿景被视为变革的关键机制，而法律在这些治理方法中往往被过度简化，要么作为可持续性变革的推动者，要么作为可持续性变革的障碍。未来的研究途径可能包括如何引入破坏性因素作为促进变革的一种方式，以及如何加强对变革的法律分析。
