Global-Local-Global Analysis of Land and Water Systems Sustainability
Global-Local-Global Analysis of Land and Water Systems Sustainability
Session ID#: 161589
Session Description:
Global change drivers, including population, income, technology and trade, are placing increasing stress on local land and water systems. Yet the way in which these sustainability stresses evidence themselves vary by locality, due to heterogeneity in governance, culture, climate, hydrology, soils and socio-economic practices. And local responses to these stresses, including conservation policies, can feed back to regional and global systems through markets as well as biophysical spillovers. Therefore, analysis of sustainability solutions must embrace global-to-local-to-global (GLG) methodologies. This session will include presentations by members of the NSF-funded GLASSNET project, as well as other scientists contributing to methodologies and use cases involving GLG analysis of land and water systems sustainability. GLASSNET is a network of networks spanning disciplines and continents in order to build knowledge and capacity to conduct GLG analysis of solutions aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
