Les solutions fondées sur la nature dans les territoires littoraux : une adaptation au changement climatique sans transformation ? by Julien Pelet, Guillaume Rieu

“…Climate change and the threats it brings to coastal territories have recently led many scientists and international experts to propose relying on ecosystems to address this problem. Thus, after decades of deployment of technical solutions to protect and exploit the coastline, a new paradigm valuing "nature-based solutions"(NBS) seems to be emerging in coastal planning. …”

Network properties of the global waste trade by Filippos K. Zisopoulos, Brian D. Fath, Xin Tong, Martin de Jong

“…More specifically, indicators from ecological network analysis and ascendency analysis were used to identity patterns which may not otherwise be directly identifiable, and to compare the network properties of the global waste trade to those of natural ecosystems. Focus was given on the distribution of monetary and material flows, on policy recommendations, and on future research avenues which we think are relevant for obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of socio-economic systems such as trade networks. …”

How is Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing characterized in Indigenous health research? A scoping review. by Sophie I G Roher, Ziwa Yu, Debbie H Martin, Anita C Benoit

“…Using the JBI scoping review methodology and qualitative thematic coding, we identified seven categories describing the meaning of Two-Eyed Seeing from 80 articles: guide for life, responsibility for the greater good and future generations, co-learning journey, multiple or diverse perspectives, spirit, decolonization and self-determination, and humans being part of ecosystems. We discuss inconsistencies between the original and new authors, important observations across the thematic categories, and our reflections from the review process. …”
