Smallholder Telecoupling and Climate Governance in Jambi Province, Indonesia
Current debates on climate change have led to an increased demand for sustainable commodities. Serving this demand, sustainability certification schemes and eco-friendly labels have become prominent mechanisms of climate governance.

Biodiversity conservation in a telecoupled world: a framework
Telecoupling is a global process that increasingly dominates land-use interactions and trade. Despite its obvious large implications for biodiversity conservation, how to manage telecoupled forces and how to implement biodiversity conservation policies in the light of telecoupling has received little attention.

From teleconnection to telecoupling: taking stock of an emerging framework in land system science
Land use change is influenced by a complexity of drivers that transcend spatial, institutional and temporal scales. The analytical framework of telecoupling has recently been proposed in land system science to address this complexity, particularly the increasing importance of distal connections, flows and feedbacks characterising change in land systems.

Reconnecting with nature for sustainability [PDF]
Calls for humanity to ‘reconnect to nature’ have grown increasingly louder from both scholars and civil society. Yet, there is relatively little coherence about what reconnecting to nature means, why it should happen and how it can be achieved.

Work–Residence Mismatch Drives Air Pollution Disparities Across Urban–Rural China
Abstract Across the globe, spatial mismatches between work and residence reshape human mobility and influence regional air quality, yet their effects across urban–rural systems remain poorly quantified. China's ongoing urbanization and rural revitalization underscore the urgent need to understand these dynamics. Here, using multi‐source geospatial data,

Late Quaternary climate legacies in contemporary plant functional composition [PDF]
The functional composition of plant communities is commonly thought to be determined by contemporary climate. However, if rates of climate‐driven immigration and/or exclusion of species are slow, then contemporary functional composition may be explained ...

‘Chains of leverage’ as way to identify and foster transformative potential
Abstract We propose the framework of ‘chains of leverage’. It is an operationalisation to understand and analyse the transformative potential of social‐ecological systems and identify leverage points for sustainability transformations through a concrete four‐step approach.
