Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Organische Böden, Klima und der Kohlenstoffmarkt [PDF]
, 2015 Organic soils, particularly peatlands store large quantities of carbon. Recently, in several joint research projects peatland restoration has been proven to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions.

Mitigating wildfire carbon loss in managed northern peatlands through restoration [PDF]
, 2016 Northern peatlands can emit large amounts of carbon and harmful smoke pollution during a wildfire. Of particular concern are drained and mined peatlands, where management practices destabilize an array of ecohydrological feedbacks, moss traits and peat ...

Secure Enough? Sufficiency and Security in the New Geological and Geopolitical Reality
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article advances sufficiency theorizing by examining its relationship with security in the contemporary geopolitical context. It engages three contextually situated discourses: sustainable development, ecological civilization, and degrowth, to explore how concerns over ecological limits intersect with emerging geopolitical and security ...

Ditch emissions partially offset global reductions in methane emissions from peatland drainage
Communications Earth & EnvironmentPeatlands are globally important carbon sinks but are frequently drained. Drainage activities reduce overall methane emissions; however they are often accompanied by the construction of ditches, which are potential methane emission hotspots.

Can boreal peatlands with pools be net sinks for CO2?
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Peatland open-water pools, a common feature on temperate to subarctic peatlands, are sources of carbon (C) to the atmosphere but their contribution to the net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE-CO _2 ) is poorly known; there is a question as to ...

Flushing meadows : the influence of management alternatives on the greenhouse gas balance of fen meadow areas [PDF]
, 2010 The degradation of peatlands is a major and growing source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and small changes in the management of peatlands can lead to drastic changes in GHG emissions and changes in carbon storage and in the past have ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agrifood system generates around one‐third of global greenhouse gas emissions, driven by land use and land‐use change. Existing policy assessments focus on net emissions changes, overlooking efficiency losses within market dynamics and the carbon sequestration potential of land.
