Biodiversity and Human Values

13.0K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Sustainable Development

13.2K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Nature and Nurture

20.3K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

153
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

7.0K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Conservation Biology
  • Scenario Planning

Background:

  • The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) offers a novel approach to developing positive conservation scenarios.
  • It emphasizes biodiversity as a solution to environmental challenges at multiple scales.
  • The framework explicitly addresses diverse values associated with nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To formulate continental-scale positive narratives for conservation in Europe using the NFF.
  • To explore value perspectives: Nature for Nature, Nature for Society, and Nature as Culture.
  • To develop three novel, contrasting Nature Futures narratives for Europe.

Main Methods:

  • Expert group elicitation was used to develop narratives.
  • Focus areas included: Nature Protection and Restoration, Forests, Freshwater, Urban Systems, Agriculture, and Energy.
  • Analysis of differences and similarities across narratives for these topics was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Three novel Nature Futures narratives for Europe were developed.
  • Common solutions emerged that address biodiversity conservation and Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) within EU policy.
  • Narratives integrated instrumental and cultural NCPs.

Conclusions:

  • The developed narratives can inform EU conservation targets and socio-ecological development pathways.
  • These positive scenarios support policy decisions for nature recovery.
  • The NFF provides a valuable tool for guiding future conservation efforts.
