{"title":"Advocating for Ecoartivism: Sculpting sustainable choice with nature-based solutions","authors":"Aviva Rahmani","doi":"10.1016/j.nbsj.2024.100134","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.nbsj.2024.100134","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>This paper presents the term <em>Ecoartivism,</em> for a novel nature-based strategy to address ecocide. Ecoartivism evolved from my ecoart practice, which sought pragmatic answers to chaotic environmental conditions. I advocate for how Ecoartivism draws from many influences to embrace a more intuitive but sustainable relationship between art, science, and law based on our values. I will track how my practice began layering basic aesthetic skills with science to restore degraded ecosystems, (<em>Ghost Nets</em> and <em>Blue Rocks</em> 1990–2005); inspired an original premise, trigger point theory, that small points of deliberate intervention can effect systemic change; and led to an Ecoartivist symphony and then an opera, (<em>Blued Trees</em> (2015 - present). My thinking has felt informed by Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) and what some Indigenous communities term <em>reciprocity</em>, the idea that humans must live with mutual respect and as part of an inclusive vision of nature. <em>Blued Trees</em> developed a novel legal theory about ownership and what we choose to value. That redefinition led to Ecoartivism as a nature-based solution to sustainability. GPS located sentinel trees were identified as <em>tree-notes</em> in an aerial \"score\" composed of 1/3-mile increments across North America in forested corridors where natural gas pipeline installations were proposed. In a 2018 mock trial an injunction was handed down in favor of protecting the <em>Blued Trees</em> project on the basis of standing (a legal term establishing formal rights for due consideration in a court trial). I will explain how trigger point theory could support legal standing for Earth rights and ecosystem resilience. <em>Blued Trees</em> continues as an opera-in-progress to expand and deepen arguments for making ecocide accountable with serious penalties at the International Court of Justice at the Hague. This discussion will illustrate how ecoartivist strategies may support habitat contiguity, inspire and drive novel nature-based solutions to ecocide, deepening partnerships with scientists who can test and build on provocative insight.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100945,"journal":{"name":"Nature-Based Solutions","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772411524000259/pdfft?md5=8345b7eaac78c365746f59196de2220a&pid=1-s2.0-S2772411524000259-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141410411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Payments for ecosystem services, when made by the private sector, are seen as an integral part of this shift in thinking. Stacking payments for different ecosystem services, that is, allowing land managers to sell multiple “products” from the same piece of land to one or more buyers, may help to facilitate greater uptake of nature restoration activities and nature-based solutions. However, this approach brings with it inherent financial, biological, and political risks to market integrity. The purpose of this policy analysis is to address some of these market risks by proposing two solutions to enabling the stacking of ecosystem service payments. Our methods are as follows: we conceptualize a market for ecosystem services in the UK, and describe how a functioning market should operate. We then analyse UK policy for managing market risk and provide examples of this in practice. We describe two potential solutions to enable stacking, and as a result of our analysis argue for full accounting on the demand side of the market as the optimal solution. We conclude by discussing the implications and supporting policy for this solution.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100945,"journal":{"name":"Nature-Based Solutions","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772411524000326/pdfft?md5=397dd423901cc4578b574b24ae004223&pid=1-s2.0-S2772411524000326-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141325224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach utilizes freely available tools and data to quantify the economic value of coral reef conservation for the Hawaiian Islands. We explore a scenario that depicts coastal flooding if the upper 1 m of the coral reef were to be lost. The study analyzes the Average Annual Loss (AAL) and losses avoided based on a series of 4 coastal flood scenario return periods with and without coral reefs. This case study finds that the preservation of the upper 1 m of coral reefs for the main islands of Hawaiʻi provides the state with $629 million in annual losses avoided to buildings. A hot spot analysis of the losses avoided identifies areas where conservation efforts could be prioritized.

To support greater insight into the issues affecting market uptake, this scoping study draws on data from a EU Horizons project. The experience of government and business stakeholders in six cities (Liverpool, Valladolid, Izmir, Mantua, Ludwigsburg, and Medellin), serve as illustrative cases of market uptake from the NbS provider perspective. Drawing on interview, survey and secondary data, three strategic drivers (and barriers) of NbS investment emerged: Socio-cultural, financial and governance. At operational level, four types of NbS (Grand, customized, large scale and niche) and four types of strategic opportunities emerged: Tolerable (low cost: low benefit), Ruinous (high cost: low benefit), Best case (low cost: high benefit) and Aspirational (high cost: high benefit). On the supply side, funding and maintenance capabilities are the primary barriers to NbS implementation. On the demand side, insight into public perception of NbS is crucial.
