This study examined seven Fisheries Improvement Projects (FIPs) and seven community marine reserves in Mexico, spanning 60 months. FIPs averaged $60,296 USD annually, with variations based on FIP type and accessibility. Marine reserves required $2343.16 USD per square kilometer over 17 months, varying based on size and location. Private funding covered 91.5 % of costs, primarily from philanthropic donations (69.5 %) and fishing organizations (21 %), with a minor contribution from markets (1 %, only in FIPs). Public funding constituted 8.5 %, split between academia (4.5 %, only in reserves) and governmental sources (4 %). Despite efforts to engage other stakeholders, philanthropy remained the dominant funding source, most FIPs couldn't access a price premium and markets didn't support marine reserves. Community reserves heavily relied on philanthropy, raising concerns about long-term sustainability. Incorporating in-kind contributions, mainly from fishing organizations and communities, is crucial, particularly in small-scale fisheries in the Global South. Strengthening community agreements and public-private coordination is essential to attract new investments for small-scale fisheries' sustainability, addressing institutional challenges in the Global South.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800924002477/pdfft?md5=1b769c1496b22f0c659dc0e544748d44&pid=1-s2.0-S0921800924002477-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142050310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the literature on this subject focuses primarily on climate variable means, increasing evidence has been gathered on the importance of changes in climate variability in determining ecosystem impacts. In this context, forests play a significant role. While, on the one hand, forests have often been identified to be a key element in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, on the other, forests are also affected by changes in climate. However, the number of studies on optimal forest management under climate change remains limited and has overlooked the role of climate variability. This paper adds to that literature by developing a coupled ecological-economic forest stand model in which forest dynamics are a function of monthly climate variables. We show that accounting for changes in climate variability substantially changes earlier findings. In particular, ignoring climate variability may fail to adequately account for changes in optimal harvest age and lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the effects of climate change on forested land value.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921800924002192/pdfft?md5=fae6cff47f0ca4381dbc46bac12a7c88&pid=1-s2.0-S0921800924002192-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142021338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a study is timely and relevant as many people around the world are likely to use ChatGPT and similar language models to inquire about climate solutions, which in turn might influence public opinion. The comparison provides insights about performance criteria, policy instruments, and use of information from distinct academic disciplines. With a few exceptions, responses by ChatGPT are informative and of high quality. We find that ChatGPT answers questions with less bias than experts from various scientific disciplines. The latter may also be a disadvantage as it seems to weight all the information available equally without accounting well for relevance, which arguably may require human rather than artificial intelligence. On the other hand, experts from distinct disciplines show difference in average responses, with some even expressing opinions inconsistent with objective evidence, meaning there is no consistent and unbiased expert opinion on climate policy. As a new way of synthesizing large amounts of academic and grey literature, ChatGPT can serve policymaking.

The behavioral barriers also exert an indirect effect on environmental behavior by undermining reciprocity and positive peer effects. The value-action gaps are correlated across the different experimental settings with men and younger participants showing a particularly large gap.

Hence, research and policies on land use/land cover change often assume smallholders' behavior is driven by monetary/food goals (Income Optimization), disregarding previous evidence suggesting otherwise. People may seek to minimize work drudgeries (Time Optimization) or may establish a minimum amount of working time (Time Budget). Through an agent-based model, we investigated which decision-making assumptions-Time Optimization, Time Budget or the combination of both- best explained Khĩsêtjê's behavior, a Brazilian Amazon indigenous society, by comparing deforestation predictions with historical records. Our results suggest indigenous people's decisions are better represented by the (less used) minimum working time assumptions (Budget rule). Models following the Budget rule were also less sensitive to unpredictability in the food amount obtained by a household.
