The global food system confronts critical challenges, including food insecurity, small-scale producer vulnerability, and environmental degradation. While locally led initiatives emerge as potential solutions, they face obstacles, such as participant bias and scaling limitations. This study analyzes 157 international and 91 Japanese locally led food...

REDD+ aims to mitigate climate change by reducing deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries while ensuring social and environmental benefits through the involvement of diverse stakeholders. While several studies evaluate stakeholder participation in various aspects of REDD+, such as the level and type of stakeholder participation...

The water budget in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) depends heavily on rainfall which play crucial roles in supporting agriculture, aquaculture, and local livelihoods. This study evaluated rainfall trends across the VMD from 1978 to 2022, revealing significant spatial and seasonal variations. While a few inland stations showed marginal increases...

For almost a decade, countries have been working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet progress on the SDGs across countries, as well as across the 17 goals, has proven frustratingly slow. Even countries that have performed relatively well on the SDGs may have done so by causing negative externalities, such as environmental...

The expansion and intensification of bioproduction systems (BPS) have historically contributed to ecosystem loss and degradation. However, recent studies have shown the ability of BPS to supply multiple ES and its potential to contribute to global biodiversity conservation goals. Hence, this study investigates the changes in BPS and land uses...

The Guidebook on the State of the River Basin (SORB) Reporting System is intended for local governments and/or river basin organizations in the East Asian Seas region currently or planning to implement integrated river basin management (IRBM)/integrated water resources management (IWRM) programs. The Guidebook provides guidance to local governments...

Amidst global concerns about land use change and its far-reaching impact on biodiversity and human well-being, there is a growing need to understand how land use stock and flow changes over time through land use accounting. While existing studies on land accounting have focused on historical land changes, little attention has been paid to future...

Cloud-based remote sensing has spurred the use of techniques to improve mapping accuracy where individual images may have lower quality, especially in areas with complex terrain or high cloud cover. This study investigates the influence of image compositing and multisource data fusion on the multitemporal land cover mapping of the Pagsanjan-Lumban...

This paper explores the use of power and politics in empirical literature on social-ecological traps. Social-ecological traps describe conditions where self-reinforcing interactions between social and ecological elements perpetuate a system in an unfavorable or undesirable state. Researchers across disciplines have theorized the nature and...
