Evidence indicates that human-driven climate change is exacerbating displacement trends in South America. Human factors, including inadequate flood protection systems and wetland degradation for agricultural expansion, further amplified the devastation. The economic toll is staggering, with losses exceeding US$6.1 billion in income and recovery costs estimated at US$7.2 billion. We advocate for a multi-stakeholder approach that integrates wetland restoration, disaster risk financing, and institutional coordination, aligning with existing frameworks such as Brazil’s National Climate Change Policy and Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. Displacement costs are still not often integrated into national policies and planning. Voluntary relocation, often without minimal support from local governments, is the overall rule in many hazard-exposed communities. Planned relocation is a complex, long-term strategy requiring substantial investment. Options of early warning and shelter may be discouraging where the perceived risk is high. In such cases, state officials may incentivize landowners to abandon lands destined for wetland restoration. Although the idea represents a significant paradigm shift, there are few available options where the river fluctuations are extreme. Beyond relocating at-risk communities, effective flood risk management must incorporate wetland restoration into climate adaptation policies. Lessons from global cases demonstrate the need for structured funding, landowner incentives, and community-driven relocation strategies. As Brazil prepares to host COP30, prioritizing wetland recovery could position the country as a leader in climate resilience while addressing the urgent needs of flood-vulnerable populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 104146"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329717","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}

This study examines four episodes of boundary work in Icelandic rangeland governance between 1997 and 2021, analysing how actor relationships, shifting governance structures, and knowledge integration influenced sustainability outcomes. Findings reveal an initial period of openness, where scientists and policymakers successfully mobilised farmers toward sustainability-oriented actions. Limited knowledge co-production and frequent institutional restructuring, however, disrupted trust-building efforts, weakened legitimacy, and led farmers to increasingly question sustainability criteria, which resulted in policy resistance and contested governance arrangements. Ecological assessments became sources of conflict, reflecting divergent stakeholder understandings of sustainability and knowledge credibility. The episode-based analysis of boundary used within this study demonstrated how credibility, legitimacy, and salience of knowledge evolve over time, shaping governance trajectories. The study highlights the need for stable yet adaptive governance mechanisms that embed participatory knowledge co-production from the outset, explicitly address power-dynamics, and ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous social-ecological monitoring and evaluation. It also demonstrates that participation alone does not guarantee sustainability transformation unless it challenges existing power structures and fosters institutional adaptation.

Therefore, this perspective article addresses this limitation by developing a typology of the WEF nexus to categorize the framings and definitions of WEF nexus research. This typology provides clarity both in designing future WEF nexus research projects and in categorizing existing research. It develops the typology across two categories: the level of integration within the research design (as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary integration) and the weighting of the three sectors (whether water, energy, and food are all considered equally or whether one sector is emphasized over the other two). By using these two dimensions, this article develops a typology with six categories of the WEF nexus.

Analyzing nine national, regional, and municipal climate plans, we assess whether cultural resources function as passive elements or active contributors to sustainable climate action. Using a systematic coding process, we categorize references into three dimensions—conceptualization, policy context, and governance treatment— providing a structured framework for evaluating their role and transformative potential. Seventeen recurring entry points emerge from the analysis, representing key actions that facilitate cultural resource integration into climate planning. These entry points reveal opportunities within governance frameworks to enhance cultural resource management in adaptation, risk reduction, and mitigation strategies. Rather than serving as prescriptive measures, they reflect common policy themes and suggest context-specific pathways to accelerate transformative governance. Our findings confirm widespread recognition of cultural resources in climate action and underscore the importance of stakeholder dialogue and the inclusion of both tangible and intangible cultural elements. However, significant gaps persist, including insufficient monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, weak cross-sectoral integration, and narrow definitions that hinder operationalizing intangible attributes. We conclude that fully leveraging cultural resources for transformative climate governance requires relational, reflexive, and multi-level approaches. Such strategies must optimize cultural resource management within existing governance systems while critically addressing broader unsustainable patterns—structural inequalities, sectoral silos, and rigid policy frameworks—that limit their transformative potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 104127"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308166","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}

Over time, it has grown together with a technoscientific paradigm which demands a closer look at how actors envision science, technology, digitization, and innovation to foster said sustainability, and how the latter has shifted as a result. Sustainability also continues to hold strong value and political weight in the EU, where technoscientific optimism has had a binding effect, particularly in efforts of environmental protection in agriculture (in light of the Green Deal), in an increasingly decentralized political union. This paper discusses these processes in the recent reform of the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP; 2023–2027) by focusing on the one hand on how sustainability’s three pillars – the environmental, the social, and the economic – are ‘reconciled,’ and on the other, on the new ‘eco-schemes’ as an instrument to achieve a more sustainable agriculture. Empirical data gleaned from participant observation, expert interviews and policy document analysis show how in EU agriculture policy science, digitization/technology and innovation are imagined as fixtures that cohere these pillars, thereby maintaining a growth paradigm imminent to dominant sustainability discourses. This <em>technoscientific sustainability</em> is also evident in agriculture measures on the ground, in the new eco-schemes, which offer a diversity of farming approaches for EU's member states, ranging from agroforestry to precision farming. In this technocratic instrument, holistic systems, like agroecology, are rendered technical ‘tools’ that member states can combine at will, fostering a <em>politics of toolkit diversity</em> that accommodates diverse farming approaches and philosophies while evading environmental compliance. Scientific epistemology, technical quantification, digital tools and innovation thus act as wider discursive fixture that not only hold together the holy trinity of sustainability, but also accommodates diverse landscapes and member states, and through that the political union of an increasingly decentralized EU.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 104121"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308164","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}

The Global Assembly (GA) thus offers a unique chance to examine the opportunities and challenges for a global mini-public seeking to achieve influence in global climate governance. While the GA’s internal qualities have been analysed elsewhere, this paper evaluates the extent to which it achieved its ‘external’ goal of giving ordinary people a voice in global climate governance. Initial verdicts were that it had limited impact, partly due to the logistics of operationalising such an ambitious event and the complexities of global climate governance. Yet these challenges remain, and we argue that any future GA would benefit from a clearer sense of what ‘influence’ means in this global context and the nature of institutional links it requires. This paper compares the organizers’ and assembly members’ perceptions of influence with analysis of the GA’s actual influence, by examining the GA’s efforts to ‘couple’ with institutions of global climate governance, and its contribution to deliberation-making, legitimacy-seeking, and deliberative capacity-building. We conclude that any future global climate assembly needs to recognise global climate governance as a deliberative system, conceptualise dynamics of influence in systemic terms, and seek to build multi-directional links across this system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"171 ","pages":"Article 104124"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144298106","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}
