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

  • 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.

  • The Challenge of a New Environmental Contract by Eric W. Orts* the Challenge Posed to Human Society by Global Climate Change
    The Challenge of a New Environmental Contract By Eric W. Orts* [For discussion at the 2007 U.N. Secretary-General’s Global Colloquium for University Presidents] The challenge posed to human society by global climate change caused by the release of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) is important, but it is also in my view only one of a set of environmental problems that signal the need for a fundamental shift in policy and institutional approaches. Climate change is a truly global problem because it is caused by the combined activities of everyone on the planet (as well as natural causes such as solar cycles and volcanic activity) and produces effects that are detrimental through global geophysical vectors. It is not, however, the only such problem. Two others are the depletion of the ozone layer through the release of inadvertently harmful industrial chemicals (i.e., chloroflourocarbons and their cousins) and the massive loss of biodiversity in what has been described as the “sixth great extinction” in geological time (the last one occurring when an asteroid hit the planet 65 million years ago to end the age of dinosaurs). Widespread deforestation, desertification, water shortages, depletion of life in the oceans, and human population growth are also compelling global problems. The most distinctive features of the newest global environmental problems are the scale and stakes involved. They are systemic problems of an industrial civilization that has proven immensely successful technologically in the last few millenia in terms of advancing the material foundations for the survival and multiplication of the human species. At the same time, it is not alarmist to point out the increasing probability of a collapse of the environmental prerequisites for human survival as a species.

The background to this work is the current imbalance in the provision of private and public goods from agricultural land management. This complex problem can best be addressed by using insights and methods from a range of disciplines. However, for methods and researchers to complement each other and contribute to the project aim, the parts must be brought together as a coherent whole. We developed a conceptual framework which draws on different concepts to explain the issues underlying the delivery of private and public environmental goods from agriculture.
