Most-cited papers in Global Sustainability

Discourses of climate delay

William F. Lamb, Giulio Mattioli, Sebastian Levi et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Non-technical summary ‘Discourses of climate delay’ pervade current debates on climate action. These discourses accept the existence of climate change, but justify inaction or inadequate efforts. In contemporary discussions on what actions should be taken, by whom and how fast, proponents of climate delay would argue for minimal action or action taken by others. They…

Global polycrisis: the causal mechanisms of crisis entanglement

Michael Lawrence, Thomas Homer‐Dixon, Scott Janzwood et al. · 1 Jan 2024

Abstract Multiple global crises – including the pandemic, climate change, and Russia's war on Ukraine – have recently linked together in ways that are significant in scope, devastating in effect, but poorly understood. A growing number of scholars and policymakers characterize the situation as a ‘polycrisis’. Yet this neologism remains poorly defined. We provide the…

Equity and sustainability in the Anthropocene: a social–ecological systems perspective on their intertwined futures

Melissa Leach, Belinda Reyers, Xuemei Bai et al. · 1 Jan 2018

We illustrate how equity and sustainability are intertwined, and how a complex social–ecological systems lens brings…

Non-technical summary Ecosystems across the globe are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, as are the communities that depend on them. However, ecosystems can also protect people from climate change impacts. As the evidence base strengthens, nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly prominent in climate change policy, especially in developing nations. Yet intentions rarely translate…

Is the future of agriculture perennial? Imperatives and opportunities to reinvent agriculture by shifting from annual monocultures to perennial polycultures

Timothy E. Crews, Wim Carton, Lennart Olsson · 1 Jan 2018

Non-technical summary Modern agriculture is associated with numerous environmental predicaments, such as land degradation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emission. Socio-economically, it is characterized by a treadmill of technological change, increased mechanization, and economic consolidation, while depressing economic returns to farmers. A root cause is the dominance of annual plants cultivated in monocultures. Annual crops…
