Surprisingly, however, systematic research on the state of such public-private complementarities in the field of sustainable development is lacking. With a focus on voluntary sustainability standards and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this article addresses this research gap. It uses a novel dataset of 232 voluntary standards to examine how their policies and organizational processes interact with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their targets. We identify significant public-private complementarities, but also areas of institutional disconnect. We further explore how the creation of institutional linkages in this issue area is driven by instrumental, managerial, and normative concerns and develop an agenda for future research. This includes research on whether and how intensifying public-private interactions at the transnational level translate into tangible impacts for sustainable development on the ground.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100153"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000222/pdfft?md5=d0c4c56bc0d79e89a53d9158b5fa035c&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811622000222-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47582860","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}

Drawing on the Global Peace Index, Positive Peace Index, and Environmental Performance Index, our study shows that environmental performance (especially regarding air quality, safe sanitation, and safe drinking water) is more closely associated with positive peace (particularly concerning equitable distribution of resources and high levels of human capital) than negative peace (specifically with the degree of militarisation). Our integrative analysis of the indicators also reveals that some low-income countries score high in both negative peace and environmental sustainability, but they often fall short in achieving positive peace outcomes. Therefore, we conclude that positive peace is more conducive to accommodating environmental considerations and the plurality of conditions on which countries achieve and maintain peace and sustainability, which supports the need to integrate environmental indicators in peace indices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100152"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000210/pdfft?md5=bc3e4f6191dc32c5e6744b266dd9cda4&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811622000210-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47789049","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}

The analysis draws particular attention to the importance of place-shaped responsibilities for biodiversity, which emerge as localised narratives of responsibility that take account of the enabling and resisting conditions that matter in particular places. Applied in the context of biodiversity governance, this suggests a need to join up policy issues, embed equity, explore multiple meanings, bridge pro-active and retrospective responsibilities, and enhance the role of the social sciences in enabling responsibilities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100156"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000258/pdfft?md5=0c24a9be685f62f44eb43607c2087239&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811622000258-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47569107","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}

However, agricultural production can prompt spillover dynamics with implications for sustainability that go beyond these scales, e.g., through runoff of chemical inputs or long-distance migrant worker flows. Scientific evidence on the governance of spillovers through VSS is, however, limited. This study investigates the extent to which VSS regulate a set of 21 environmental and socio-economic spillovers of agricultural land use. To this end, we assessed the spillover coverage in 100 sustainability standards. We find that VSS have a clear tendency to cover environmental spillovers more extensively than socio-economic spillovers. Further, we show how spillover coverage differs across varying types of standard-setting organizations and VSS verification mechanisms. Finally, we discuss the role and limitations that VSS can have in addressing the revealed gaps.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100158"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000271/pdfft?md5=87610ddd4bd5ea05fb0b11706f031c03&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811622000271-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44947519","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}

One of the Ocean Decade's identified challenges is to develop a sustainable and equitable ocean economy, but questions arise about how to conceptualize the multiple dimensions of equity in an ocean context. These questions become more complex as activities move away from coastal ecosystems and communities into off-shore Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ), where ocean resources are recognized simultaneously as unowned/open access and as common heritage. In this paper, we mobilize the Earth System Governance analytics of ‘architecture’ and ‘agency’, to reflect on the possibilities for equity in ABNJ. Motivated by the general attention to equity in UN initiatives like the SDGs and the Ocean Decade, we describe current UN architecture for ocean governance, including principles that might support equity. Existing UN architecture focuses on distributional equity among nation states, with less attention to recognitional or procedural equity. State actors have most agency, while non-state actors can exercise some via broad UN declarations and through mechanisms like ‘major groups.’ We use on-going negotiations in the International Seabed Authority on rules for mineral exploitation and in the Intergovernmental Conference on an international legally binding instrument under UNCLOS on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction to illustrate how existing architecture shapes possibilities for equity in ABNJ. As new governance possibilities are imagined, attending to existing architecture and agency can help avoid further entrenching existing power imbalances and unwittingly reproducing or exacerbating inequities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100144"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811622000131/pdfft?md5=773100d4054adc110043ec09acb99891&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811622000131-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43342451","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}
