Trade in the Telecoupling Framework

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
As 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.

What Is Telecoupling?

2019
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 ...

The Telecoupling GeoApp: A Web-GIS application to systematically analyze telecouplings and sustainable development

Applied Geography, 2018
Abstract Global challenges, such as chronic hunger in developing and developed regions, loss of wildlife habitat, and the continuing rise of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, can be addressed only through an integrated approach. The telecoupling concept is one such approach: it explores socioeconomic and environmental interactions among

Telecoupling China’s City-Level Water Withdrawal with Distant Consumption

Environmental Science & Technology, 2023
Trade causes the geospatial separation of production and consumption, which drives telecoupling between resource utilization and distant consumption. While benefiting the economy, trade can also exacerbate resource use inequality among regions. Here, we propose telecoupled water withdrawal (TWW) to examine the impact of distant consumption on local ...

Governance for Sustainability in Telecoupled Systems

2019
Telecoupling 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

2019
Production 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 ...

Significance of Telecoupling for Exploration of Land-Use Change

2014
Land 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.

Framing ecosystem services in the telecoupled Anthropocene

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2016
Around 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 ...
