The special issue would be relevant for a wide readership and especially for people engaged in various disciplines such as sustainability science, environmental ethics, environmental psychology, environmental sociology, ecological economics, anthropology, and associated fields. Potential authors are welcome to check two recent publications on this topic where relational values are introduced (Chan et al., 2016) and connected to current science-policy approaches regarding environmental values
Biosphere stewardship is about humans recognizing that they are part of and indeed dependent on the biosphere to maintain their own well-being. When humans recognize that, they are also responsible for the sustainable use and protection of the living systems we depend on. But what kind of knowledge systems, values, management practices, behaviour and governance arrangements could help foster this biosphere stewardship? Ikerbasque Professor Unai Pascual from the Basque Centre for Climate Change offered his views on the issue. He highlighted the benefits of incorporating relational values in ecosystem assessments.
BC3ko ikertzailea, Unai Pascual, IPBESen biodibertsitateari buruzko azken txostenaren onetsian parte hartu du, NBEko dibertsitateari buruzko hurrengo konbentziorako esparruan. Ia hiru urte gaur egun munduan dagoen biodibertsitatearen egoerari buruz ikertzen jardun ondoren, IPBES plataformaren azken txostena pasa den astean onetsi zuten, Medellinen (Kolonbia), 129 herrialde kidetako gobernuek. Azterlanaren helburua ezagutzen oinarri bat ematea da, biodibertsitatearen inguruko ekintza globalerako, eta, horretarako, zenbait adibide ematea, besteak beste, NBEren Klima Aldaketari buruzko Gobernu arteko Panelarena; horren ezagutza arduradun politikoek aprobetxatzen dute, karbono-isurien helburuak ezartzeko.
