One company is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to sell “cooling credits”, claiming that the cooling achieved when 1 g of SO<sub>2</sub> is released is equivalent to offsetting one ton of carbon dioxide for one year. Another aspires to deliver returns to investors from the development of a proprietary aerosol for dispersal in the stratosphere. Such for-profit solar geoengineering enterprises should not be understood merely as rogue opportunists. These proposals are not only scientifically questionable, and premature in the absence of effective governance, but they are a predictable consequence of neoliberal, market-driven climate governance. The structures and incentives of market-based climate policy - circumscribed by neoliberalism's emphasis on technological innovation, venture capital, and the marketization of environmental goods - have generated repeated efforts to profit from various forms of geoengineering. With a climate governance regime wherein private, for-profit actors significantly influence and weaken climate policy, <em>de facto</em> governance of solar geoengineering has emerged, dominated by actors linked to Silicon Valley funders and ideologies. Without more explicit efforts to curb the power of private sector actors, including commercial geoengineering bans and non-use provisions, pursuit of techno-market “solutions” could lead to both inadequate mitigation <em>and</em> increasingly risky reliance on geoengineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100242"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395143","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}

This case study undertakes an empirical deep-dive into a planetary health research in Indonesia to better understand transdisciplinary collaboration from participants' experiences. Deductive and inductive analyses of the enabling and constraining factors offer novel insights into the collaborative process of stakeholder engagement, interaction, and integration. Rich examples from the case study were then synthesised into process design strategies to overcome structural constraints through boundary spanning, adaptive project management, and creating spaces for social learning and reflexivity.

Yet despite this acknowledgement of its importance in unlocking this emerging crisis, research on sand governance has barely begun (Cao and Masanet, 2022). Recognizing governance as crucial to achieving sustainable freshwater sand mining, we bring together natural resource regime theory with the leveraging literature to elaborate the novel conceptual framework of the <em>freshwater sand resource regime</em>. This governance regime brings together black letter resource law and regulation, extraction and consumption practices of actors and societal values and behaviours to foster synergies and trade-offs for multi-scaled collective action over freshwater sand. Using a multisite research-commodity chain analysis case study of the Someshwari river in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin, one of the most heavily mined river complexes in the world, we show the potential of this framework to identify leverage points among stakeholders to promote sustainable freshwater sand extraction and consumption practices. We demonstrate the framework's utility to align governance with UN Sustainable Development Goals for resource management. The research highlights the urgent need for further exploration of freshwater sand governance in different empirical contexts, given its potential implications for instilling global sand sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100228"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421644","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 Rights of Nature (RoN) movement gained traction at a time when planet Earth is facing unprecedented ecological degradation. So far, little attention has been given as to how RoN is interpreted and conceptualised and what its implications are to freshwater and marine ecosystem governance. Moreover, important questions remain insufficiently answered, including, for instance, the question of who grants such rights and on the basis of which legal mechanisms, who legally represents nature, or how such rights are actually being implemented and possibly enforced. This article explores the different legal conceptualizations of RoN, focusing on freshwater and marine ecosystems which have received particular attention in recent years in both the academic discourse and in policy practice – yet remain under immense pressure. It also investigates which legal mechanisms are being used to recognize these rights – e.g. court cases, laws, ordinances– and what their legal implications have been so far, including the challenges which have to be addressed to ensure that this innovative approach indeed helps transform how societies perceive and govern freshwater and marine ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100224"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811624000247/pdfft?md5=a55a163d8e926655a4e1505e67b29f68&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811624000247-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142315535","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}
