Wong-Parodi G., Feygina I. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/17524032.2020.1871051 Abstract:Overcoming climate change skepticism and disengagement is a pressing challenge. Evidence suggests that reactions to climate science and proposed solutions are strongly driven by emotion. This paper explores whether negative emotional responses to learning about climate impacts support recognition of the reality and risks…

Participation in multi-level policy implementation: exploring the influence of governance culture
Gollata J.A.M., Kochskämper E., Jager N.W., Newig J. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2021.1876002 Abstract: In environmental governance, participatory modes of political decision-making and planning are becoming more prevalent. A rationalist model of governance would assume that instrumental rationales prevail in choosing participatory process designs. Some argue, however, that public policy-makers also follow administrative…
Co-creating local socioeconomic pathways for achieving the sustainable development goals
Szetey, K., Moallemi, E.A., Ashton, E. et al. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-021-00921-2 Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognise the importance of action across all scales to achieve a sustainable future. To contribute to overall national- and global-scale SDG achievement, local communities need to focus on a locally-relevant subset of goals and understand…
Coordination and control – limits in standard representations of multi-reservoir operations in hydrological modeling
Rougé, C., Reed, P. M., Grogan, D. S., Zuidema, S., Prusevich, A., Glidden, S., Lamontagne, J. R., and Lammers, R. B. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-25-1365-2021 Abstract: Major multi-reservoir cascades represent a primary mechanism for dealing with hydrologic variability and extremes within institutionally complex river basins worldwide. These coordinated management processes fundamentally reshape water…
