Introduction Academic scholarship on the value of benefits we receive from nature traces its origin back for several decades. However, ecosystem services - whose term was coined in the late 1960s - have been mainstreamed with the publication of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 20051. In the literature, a general shift is emerging in considering the concept from an original ecological and pedagogical perspective to an inclusion of economic, legal and institutional aspects in its relevance for public policy2. The production of ecosystem services from agricultural land was understood through the concept of multifunctional agriculture3. Within this line, the paradigm of social- ecological systems has been recently placed4. It focuses on the close * PhD Fellow at the Institute of Law, Politics and Development (Dirpolis), Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa. 1 For access the documents, see the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment website at <http://www.millenniumassessment.org/en/Index-2.html> accessed 14 March 2016.

  • Climate Change and Sustainable Consumption: What Do the Public Think Is Fair?
    Climate change and sustainable consumption: What do the public think is fair? Tim Horton, Natan Doron December 2011 This report explores public attitudes to fairness in the context of sustainable consumption and climate change. Evidence from many areas of behaviour suggests that views about fairness can be powerful in driving pro-social behaviours. This research, through a series of focus groups, explored strategies that can tap into people’s sense of fairness around sustainable consumption and climate change to see if this could build public support for behaviour change and sustainability policies. The report: • asks if people can look at climate change and sustainable consumption in terms of fairness; • explores the basis of views about fairness in this context and investigates the types of information required for people to look at the issue in this way; • considers the extent to which looking at climate change in terms of fairness can motivate support for behaviour change; and • examines what people think is fair in actions to reduce household CO2 emissions. www.jrf.org.uk Contents List of fi gures and tables 4 Executive summary 5 Introduction: Fairness and obligation as motivations for pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour 9 1 Climate change as a co-operation dilemma 13 2 The focus groups 29 3 Attitudes to climate change and carbon emissions 35 4 Attitudes to fairness in reducing household emissions 45 5 Participants’ changing attitudes in response to the focus groups 63 Conclusion: Lessons for policy-makers and advocates 67 Notes

  • Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation
    Repowered Feminist Analysis of Parks and Recreation A Thesis submitted to Southern Utah University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Professional Communication December 2018 By Bailee M. Bahr Southern Utah University Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD, Chair I certify that I have read and viewed this project and that, in my opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Professional Communication. Repowered Feminist Analysis 1 Kevin Stein __________________________________ Kevin Stein, Ph.D., Capstone Chair Matthew Barton __________________________________ Matthew Barton, Ph.D., MAPC Graduate Director Abstract Repowered Feminist Analysis 2 This paper analyzes the television show Parks and Recreation in order to find principles of Foss and Foss’ (2009) characteristics of repowered feminism. This paper aims to discover if Leslie Knope represents a new form of feminism, what characteristics specifically that she represents, and if these qualities contribute to a freer, less oppressed Leslie Knope. The analysis examines three episodes of the show and uses feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze the findings. I found that repowered feminism applies both to a feminist’s concerns with feminist issues and the applicability of repowered feminism to all types of problem solving. Knope, whether focusing directly on feminist issues or on the various obstacles she faces while doing her job, is usually presented as more successful when she implements the characteristics of repowered feminism. Keywords: parks and recreation, repowered feminism, pop culture Acknowledgements A massive hug and kiss to my adorable husband who encouraged me to finish my thesis in spite of the plethora of excuses.

  • Voluntary Agreements to Protect Private Forests – a Realist Review
    Forest Policy and Economics 128 (2021) 102457 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Forest Policy and Economics journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/forpol Voluntary agreements to protect private forests – A realist review Matilda Miljand a,*, Therese Bjarstig¨ a, Katarina Eckerberg a, Eeva Primmer b, Camilla Sandstrom¨ a a Department of Political Science, Umeå University, Sweden b Finnish Environment Institute, Finland ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: There is increasing political interest in the use of voluntary agreements (VA) as a policy instrument. The Realist review attraction has grown also in environmental policy, VAs are expected to be less costly, more effective and more Voluntary conservation agreements cost-efficientthan regulation. Using a realist review methodology, our analysis focuses on the effect of contextual Private forest owners factors and mechanisms on private forest owners’ willingness to enter into formal voluntary nature conservation agreements. The framework we use to analyse the effects includes: forest owner characteristics, forest attributes, institutional context and process, advisors and other forest owners, and contract design, for contextual factors – and economic attitudes, environmental attitudes, sense of autonomy, sense of justice and fairness, trust as well as knowledge, for mechanisms. The analysis allowed merging findings from different types of VAs in varying contexts in a systematized way, and consolidating evidence of how the mechanisms influence the programme implementation process, and its outcome. 43 reviewed articles, from an originally retrieved set of 2231 papers, provide evidence for environmental attitudes supporting willingness to enter into an agreement. Environmental attitudes are strengthened by forest owners’ wishes to protect a heritage, suggesting considerable influence through personal, emotional attachment to the forest.
