Trade in the Telecoupling Framework
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017As a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary sustainability challenges, telecoupling emphasises the importance of socioeconomic and environmental interactions over long distances. These long-distance interactions can occur through multiple human activities.

The authors provide an overview of the telecoupling concept and framework as well as their applications to land system science. First, the authors clarify different interpretations of the framework such as it being structured versus processual, active versus passive roles of sending and receiving systems, comprehensiveness and flexibility, feasibility ...

Significance of Telecoupling for Exploration of Land-Use Change
2014Land systems are increasingly influenced by distal connections: the externalities and unintended consequences of social and ecological processes which occur in distant locations, and the feedback mechanisms that lead to new institutional developments and governance arrangements.

Governance for Sustainability in Telecoupled Systems
2019Telecoupling describes specific global flows and interconnections that pose novel challenges for sustainability governance. This chapter examines contributions to the governance literature that have addressed aspects of global interconnectedness and that might inform a more systematic engagement with and theorisation of the phenomenon of telecoupling ...

Trade and Land-Use Telecouplings
2019Production of commodities to meet global demand for food, fibre and energy is the most important driver of land-use change globally. In this chapter, we examine the causes and effects of trade and land-use telecouplings, identifying some of the emerging properties of global trade—such as the increasing trade volume and market integration—as well as ...

Framing ecosystem services in the telecoupled Anthropocene
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2016Around the globe, previously isolated localities are rapidly forming connections over increasing spatial extents, through the flow of ecosystem services ( ES ). With the intensification of human demands, systematic research on ES over distances is ...

Explanations in Telecoupling Research
2019This chapter discusses how explanations can be built in telecoupling research and for what purposes. Explanations in human-environment (H-E) systems build on the deductive, inductive and abductive approaches and have to balance the identification of regularities and general mechanisms with contextual interpretation of contingencies.

Planetary Health Consequences of Telecoupled Shrimp Farming
EcoHealthThe international demand for shrimp from Bangladesh exhibits a Telecoupled system. Semi-intensive to intensive shrimp farming has changed vast coastal areas into saline zones by altering land use and land cover. While shrimp cultivation significantly contributes to foreign exchange earnings, it also leads to various social and environmental impacts ...

Governing flows in telecoupled land systems
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2019The increasing global interconnectivity influencing land system change brings with it new challenges for land-system science. We evaluate whether recent land-system science (LSS) research into telecoupling provides a basis to set normative goals or priorities for addressing sustainability in coupled human-natural systems.

Livelihoods through the Lens of Telecoupling
2019While the literature increasingly stresses the influence of globalisation on livelihoods, the ways livelihoods are connected to the world are often more specific than the undifferentiated influence of global processes. In this chapter, I discuss how the telecoupling framework can disentangle the complex fabric of the ‘global’ by adopting a relational ...
