This research paper examines how 'weak signals' of change can act as super-nodes to amplify systemic disruption across socioecological systems. Using a mixed-methods approach involving a global Delphi survey and influence mapping, the study argues that anticipatory governance should prioritize high-centrality signals to mitigate cascading risks to planetary health, economic, and technological systems.

This research paper examines ecological citizenship (EC) as a practice for empowering individuals and communities to achieve climate neutrality through shared responsibility for sustainability and social equity.

This research paper examines the 'anticipatory capacity' of farmers in Peru's Ica Basin to respond to global change across an extreme elevation gradient. The study finds that a lack of access to weather forecasts and market information, exacerbated by poor infrastructure maintenance and telecommunication gaps, undermines the resilience of smallholders and upstream producers compared to the coastal agro-export sector.

This executive summary describes a transdisciplinary research project (2019–2022) funded with USD 199,605 to identify governance modalities that effectively incorporate local and traditional knowledge into biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services management. The project utilizes a mixed-methods action research approach across four case studies in Canada, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay to address implementation gaps in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).

This working paper examines the potential for faith-based organizations (FBOs) to reduce food loss and waste (FLW) in Rwanda, noting that while FBOs manage a significant portion of the country's health and education infrastructure, few have formal FLW programs due to resource and knowledge gaps.
