Guiding Environmental Law’s Transformation into Earth System Law Through the Telecoupling Framework
, 2021 Insights from Earth system science show us that we are crossing over into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. Yet, environmental law has failed to integrate these insights and adopt an Earth system perspective, with the result that environmental ...

Impacts of Western lifestyles in a telecoupled world
, 2023 Human use of natural resources is exceeding the planet's ecological ceilings. To reverse this trend, sustainable production and consumption was placed on the global governance agenda at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, a large number of empirical studies have been carried out to characterise the environmental impact of consumption ...

Urban water sustainability: framework and application
Ecology and Society, 2016 Urban areas such as megacities (those with populations greater than 10 million) are hotspots of global water use and thus face intense water management challenges.

Explanations in Telecoupling Research
, 2019 This 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.

Governing flows in telecoupled land systems
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2019 The 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.
