It requires salient, credible, and legitimate syntheses of knowledge on recognized (or emerging) issues for public concern. Beyond the ‘instrumental’ aspects of avoidable harm (nature as protector) and cost-effective care provided to people by nature-based solutions, ‘relational values’ invoke further foundations of morality and of human priorities beyond physiological needs and primary security.

This collection of papers reviews how values and decisions interact in the forest–water–people nexus, suggesting conclusions for current policy discourse on transforming development trajectories. Rationality (taking steps to meet goals) and relationality (taking steps to maintain relations) differ in their reference to explicit (short-term) and implicit (long-term) goals. Relational rationality, and the relational value concept it infers, complements instrumental rationality and goal-oriented, instrumental values. Three progressive tipping points in how, historically, human and social systems relate to nature are 1) technological control over nature, 2) nature strikes back, driving environmental institutions and policies controlling technology, and 3) relational values of nature complementing instrumental ones in policy design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101365"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92014274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

A pivotal challenge is how to cohere and sequence interventions in light of competing priorities, changing risk profiles and deep structural inequalities. Ideas of characterising and transitioning to climate-resilient development (CRD) pathways, and away from the historically carbon-intensive, climate-vulnerable and highly inequitable development pathways, are gaining traction in science and policy domains. But how do these ideas get operationalised in practice? Especially in contexts where many people’s basic needs remain unmet, much of what happens is unplanned and unregulated, and access to public decision-making processes is limited. This paper reviews published applications of adaptation and CRD pathways approaches, focussing on those undertaken in Global South contexts. The review reflects on how issues of (in)equity are foregrounded and addressed when working with marginalised and powerful groups to identify risk thresholds, assess and prioritise options and confront unsettling trade-offs and lock-ins. Particular attention is given firstly to how scientific climate information pertaining to various time- and spatial scales is woven together with lived experiences and traditional forms of knowledge. Secondly, the institutional capacities that are needed to transition from maladaptive to more CRD pathways are considered. Building networks of intermediaries to work across social groups, sectors, disciplines and scales, fostering trust and creating opportunities for transformative action, emerges as key to realising equitable CRD pathways.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":294,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 101328"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877343523000751/pdfft?md5=b61c8c091af6efe636ed08cc4fa99673&pid=1-s2.0-S1877343523000751-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92014049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
