Abstract:
This publication offers an overview of the latest cross-disciplinary developments in the field of Building with Nature (BwN) for the protection of coastal regions. The key philosophy of BwN is the employment of natural processes to serve societal goals, such as flood safety. The starting point is a systems-based approach, making interventions that employ the shaping forces of the natural system to perform measures by self-regulation. Initial pilots of this innovative approach originate from coastal engineering, with the Sand Motor along the coast of South Holland as one of the prime examples. From here, the BwN approach has evolved into a new generation of nature-based hydraulic solutions, such as mangrove forests, coastal reefs, and green dikes.

Abstract:
By definition, Building with Nature solutions utilise services provided by the natural system and/or provide new opportunities to that system. As a consequence, such solutions are sensitive to the status of, and interact with the surrounding system. A thorough understanding of the ambient natural system is therefore necessary to meet the required specifications and to realise the potential interactions with that system. In order to be adopted beyond the pilot scale, the potential impact of multiple BwN solutions on the natural and societal systems of a region need to be established. This requires a ‘reality check’ of the effectiveness of multiple, regional-scale applications in terms of social and environmental costs and benefits. Reality checking will help establish the upscaling potential of a certain BwN measure when addressing a larger-scale issue. Conversely, it might reveal to what extent specific smaller-scale measures are suitable in light of larger regional-scale issues. This paper presents a stepwise method to approach a reality check on BwN solutions, based on the Frame of Reference method described in a companion paper (de Vries et al., 2020), and illustrates its use by two example cases. The examples show that a successful pilot project is not always a guarantee of wider applicability and that a broader application may involve dilemmas concerning environment, policy and legislation.

Abstract:
The public nature of a high-rise building can be understood in two ways. Visually, it is an expression of architectural imagery. Physically, it is a layout of attached public spaces in which people can interact. Recently, high-rise buildings in Taiwan have grown in terms of their aesthetics as well as their height. With the aid of a survey of the aesthetics and layouts of high-rise buildings in Taiwan, the symbolic representation and public nature of high-rise buildings are examined. In addition, the Taipei 101 International Financial Centre is illustrated to show that high-rise building in Asia is moving away from a focus on construction technology and building style toward concern with architectural imagery and cultural identification which emphasise autonomous cultural representation.

Abstract:
This article introduces BioZero, a nature-inspired near-zero building proposed for Quay St, Brooklyn, New York. The building is designed for the maximum use of daylight and natural ventilation. This is the result of its shallow plan depth and the inner light wells/ventilation stacks, which also serve the inner circulation space. The light wells/ventilation stacks are created as a result of the organic shape of the internal partitions. The building is constructed from a steel frame and hemp-lime bio-composite material (hempcrete), which smooths out the fluctuations of internal air temperature and relative humidity. The south facing façade is fitted with the Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic array that covers 90% of the opaque surface area of the façade. The design was based on nature-inspired computation, with sustainability principles as guiding constraints. The main findings are that the building achieves −227 tonnes of negative embodied carbon due to sequestration of CO2 in the hemp plant from which the material was harvested, and a net-zero operation. The main conclusions are that in the context of climate emergency, nature inspired design leads to energy efficient buildings with a high level of thermal comfort, which are buildable and sustainable.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between the "constructed" (built) environment and the natural environment. What defines such a relationship and can the relationship be formulated? Surely a successful union is much like a marriage whereby one part is better than either of the individual parts. This thesis is an exploration into that relationship. It explores the nature of the built environment through the construction in the natural environment. In addition, it explores the possibility of utilizing a set of guidelines to assist the designer in the creation of such a relationship. The project type (Retreat Center) itself opens the door to possibilities by carving out the natural environment. It proposes that through careful design considerations a harmony can exist between man's built environs and the earth's natural environment.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is well understood that the advancement in information technology and increasing globalization has led our business environment to become much more complex and uncertain. Similarly the appropriateness of a firm's strategy can be defined in terms of its fit, match or congruence with the environment or organizational contingencies facing the firm. Thus at the turn of the 21st century, the concepts of industry and organizational fitness playa significant and predominant role in ensuring survival. The study presumed that, although various models and tools related to measuring and building industry and organizational fitness have been contributed by various authors, there exists an absence of comprehensiveness and coherence between them. Thus it aimed at investigating and analyzing different contemporary strategic management approaches and tools, so as to describe the comprehensive nature of industry and organizational fitness and find all-inclusive areas of measuring and building organizational fitness. According to the analysis done it was found that a significant level of overlap components of industry fitness and bewilderment exists in differentiating the elements and and organizational fitness. Moreover, although no considerable disagreement and deviation was detected between the various contemporary approaches and tools related to measuring and building organizational fitness, there is a high degree of replication and disintegration between them. In addition to this most of the approaches have a partial coverage of the important factors that influence organizational fitness and attempt to deal with problems from limited perspectives. On the bases of the analysis and findings, recommendations are provided for improving the understanding of the concepts and the nature of industry and organizational fitness. Moreover, suggestions for integrating and cohering the various strategic management approaches and tools of measuring and building organizational fitness are given.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is welbekend dat ons sake omgewing baie meer kompleks en onseker geraak het weens die vooruitgang in informasietegnologie en toenemende globalisasie. Die geskiktheid van 'n firma se strategie kan gemeet word aan hoever dit pas by die omgewing en die gebeurlikhede wat die firma mee moet deel. Aan die begin van die 21 ste eeu speel konsepte van industrie en van organisoriese fiksheid 'n oorheersende en betekenisvolle rol in die bepaling van oorlewing. Daar is gevind dat, alhoewel daar al baie geskryf is oor verskillende modelle en metodes om industrie en organisoriese fiksheid te meet en te bou, daar tog 'n gebrek is aan volledigheid en samehangendheid. Dus ondersoek en analiseer hierdie studie die eietydse benadering tot strategiese bestuur en die metodes wat gebruik word. Die doel is om die aard van industrie en die fiksheid van 'n organisasie omvattend te beskryf en om metodes te vind om dit te meet en uit te bou. Die analise toon dat daar 'n groot mate van verwarring en oorvleueling bestaan in die uitkenning van die elemente en komponente van die fiksheid van 'n industrie en 'n organisasie. Alhoewel daar nie groot verskille of afwykings tussen die eietydse benaderings en metodes is nie, is daar wel baie herhaling en disintegrasie. Die meeste benaderings dek ook net gedeeltelik die belangrike faktore wat 'n organisasie beïnvloed en benader die probleme vanaf beperkte perspektiewe. Op die basis van die analise en bevindings word aanbevelings gedoen sodat die konsepte en aard van die industrie en organisoriese fiksheid beter verstaan kan word. Ook is daar voorstelle vir die integrering van die verskillende strategiese bestuursbenaderings en die metodes vir die meet en opbou van organisoriese fiksheid.

Abstract:
The purpose of the research is to analyze contemporary versions of Chinese Stratagems texts and identify «instant character» of their elements that have semantically close interpretations in different cultures and civilizations, distanced from each other mentally, geographically and chronologically, that helps us to identify their archetypal nature. The research methodology is based on approaches, borrowed from James George Frazer’s works on social anthropology and Gilbert Durand’s instrument «Imaginer» that were joined within canvas of our research methodology with traditional methods of content and event comparative analysis. The scientific novelty of our article consists in an attempt to apply archetypal meta-theory and its instruments for creating concept of intellectual card game «Stratagems» that has passed probation during 2017 – 2019 in frameworks of seminars on economics, theory of international economic relations, management, psychology and applied linguistics in National Technical University «Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute». Conclusions. During all periods of human history, numerous issues close related with strategies of sustainable development on local, regional and global levels traditionally were dependent on evolution of spiritual-philosophic domain of mankind being. Contemporary wisdom (global intellectual capital) as balanced set of tactics (theory) and based on them behavioral patterns (praxis) we have defined as interpreted and reshaped eternal knowledge by different civilizations and cultures into variety of sources and forms like games, epic stories, sacral doctrines, legends, fables and folklore. The most interesting and controversial by nature among them are group of works on Chinese Stratagems and their application for different spheres of communication and socioeconomic interactions (policymaking, consumer’s behavior, diplomacy, constructing of quality management systems, administrative management and etc.). Today globalization, as socio-economic and geopolitical process, has faced all contemporary communities with dilemma of making right choice and appropriate strategy in frameworks of interpersonal or intercultural communication (business, bilateral talks, mediation of conflicts and etc.) and also in sphere of administrative management, international economic relations and quality assurance of decision-making process. Thus, our attention focused on mentioned above issues, has being attracted by works devoted to strategic decision-making, crisis management and philosophy of quality management.
Мета дослідження – проаналізувати сучасні версії текстів Китайських Стратагем та вивчити «універсальний характер» їх елементів, що мають семантично наближені інтерпретації у різних культурах та цивілізаціях, розділених між собою ментально, географічно й у часі, що допоможе нам виявити їх архетипну природу. Методологія дослідження базується на підходах, запозичених у роботах з соціальної антропології Джеймса Джорджа Фрейзера та інструмент «Імаджинер» Жильбера Дюрана, які були поєднані у канві методології нашого дослідження з традиційними методами порівняльного аналізу змісту та подій. Наукова новизна нашої статті міститься у спробі залучити архетипну метатеорію та її інструменти для створення концепції інтелектуальної гри «Стратагеми», яка пройшла апробацію протягом 2017 – 2019 років у рамках семінарів з економіки, теорії міжнародних економічних відносин, менеджменту, психології та прикладної лінгвістики у Національному технічному університеті «Харківський політехнічний інститут». Висновки. Протягом усіх періодів історії людства численні питання, тісно пов’язані з стратегіями сталого розвитку на локальному, регіональному та глобальному рівнях, традиційно знаходилися в залежності від еволюції духовно-філософського простору людського буття. Сучасна мудрість (глобальний інтелектуальний капітал) як збалансований набір тактик (теорія) та похідних від них поведінкових патернів (практика), нами визначено як першознання, інтепретоване та видозмінене багатьма цивілізаціями і культурами у різноманітні джерела й форми, такі як: ігри, епічні історії, сакральні доктрини, легенди, байки та фольклор. Найбільш цікавими і суперечливими за своєю природою серед них є група робіт з Китайських Стратагем та їх застосування у різних сферах спілкування й соціоекономічних взаємодій (політика, психологія споживача, дипломатія, створення систем менеджменту якості, адміністра-тивний менеджмент тощо). Нині глобалізація як соціально-економічний та геополітичний процес поставила сучасні спільноти перед дилемою вибору правильної стратегії у рамках міжособистісної чи міжкультурної комунікації (бізнес, перемовини, розв’язання конфліктів тощо), а також у галузі адміністративного менеджменту та забезпечення якості процесу прийняття рішень. Тому наша увага, зосереджена на згаданих вище питаннях, була привернута до робіт, присвячених прийняттю стратегічних рішень, кризовому менеджменту та філософії менеджменту якості.

Abstract:
How to design with empathy? "The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture." Alvar Aalto For me architecture has the power to enhance human's lives. Our beautiful world needs a fine and delicate touch to modify their nature and abstract their essences without changing its soul. The focus of this thesis is to empathize with nature and use it as an instrument to heal the mind and provide comfort to the body. The empathy of architecture with the users and the environment is a key to provide healing. For that reason, the architecture tends to create more than a building; it also creates it's own spirit. This project is a Cancer Treatment Center located in the Andes of Peru, which purpose is to response to the emotions and needs of the patients and staff. Cancer is a complex disease, which can make the patient feel lost in the world. The interplay with nature will create a healing environment and a spiritual retreat, which creates relief and connection with the universe. The building provides the users places to breath deeply, think and connect with each individual belief. The design looks for a natural organic plan, which takes advantage of the light and the surroundings. The green design works as a placebo for the patients, which are passing through theses difficult stages. Following the new trends and trying to separate of the idea of a mega hospital, the center is small in scale, but it has a program, which provides care and treatment at the same time. The walls are strong and solid to show the support and protect the inhabitants, but they are also flexible to blend with the high mountains in the horizon. It also has a green oasis, which is the heart of the project that runs from the beginning to end and merged with the natural slope land. The culture plays an important role in the planning of the design. Adjusting to the customs and beliefs, the building respects the vernacular architecture, and gets inspiration of traditional materials and construction methods that the Inca's empire used like adobe and stone.

Abstract:
We live in a society dominated by time. It plays a part in nearly everything we do. Time tells us when to wake up, when to eat, when to be at work, when its time to sleep, and so on. Just as people are controlled by time, so are the buildings we use. Th ese buildings oft en times are very narrowly used. As a result, portions of our cities are full of activity during certain times of the day, while at other times become deserted. What happens to the building when it is not being used? Does the building go to sleep? Do buildings need to sleep? Is it possible to design a mixed-use building in our nations capitol that never sleeps? Th ese are just a few of the questions that began this journey to design 24 hours building and the cyclical nature of the people that inhabit them.

Abstract:
Alarm about the state of the environment, particularly Global Climate Change with its many implications, has led to a new awareness and action toward creating a sustainable future. By the United Nations’ definition, a sustainable future is one that meets the needs of the present while protecting the environment and providing for the needs of the future. With this new awareness, technologies and design approaches that support the concept of sustainability have become popular. Less attention has been focused on the important potential experiential and aesthetic benefits that come from a stronger appreciation and relationship to nature. This wide-ranging study broadly analyzes the concept of sustainability as it applies to aspects of planning, landscape architecture and more specifically in regard to architectural design. The research of literature and projects of noted writers, designers and buildings associated with sustainability is used to find common attributes for creating a character, or spirit. The research examines the additional factors that create a character of sustainability in environments. Seven common key indicators important to the creation of sustainable character are derived from the research. This character happens when a holistic design approach is taken, and the interaction between humans, nature and the designed physical environment is emphasized as an integral part of the process. These factors may be used to analyze projects for their relationship to sustainability in aesthetic and experiential terms, as well as providing criteria for future designs.

Abstract:
Research has widely approached the benefits and potentials of nature contact and outdoor education on children’s emotional development. There is however little evidence on teachers’ approach and educational methods on emotional education in nature. This paper investigates the potentials of outdoor education for children’s development of emotional competences by exploring in which ways emotional education is included within the didactic methodologies in a Swedish “I Ur Och Skur” nature-based preschool. Through an ethnographic approach the author identified three main educational methods by which emotional education is included within the daily teaching in the outdoors: emotional expressiveness, direct sensory experience with nature and affective social interaction. This study contributes in two main ways: first, it shows how educators approach and include emotional learning in nature spaces as a mean to help children engage affectively with their social and natural world. Second, it highlights and illustrates the potentials of outdoor and emotional education in young children.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1991.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 81-82).
This thesis is a proposal for a way of building for a Nature-Oriented Spirituality. It begins an exploration into what a community might look like for people who see the land and the seasons as the generators of life. This process requires that the link between belief and physical form be made explicit and what this implies about the places that we make and inhabit. The project is a Ritual Community, a home and gathering place for the EarthSpirit Community. EarthSpirit is a New England based organization of individuals and groups whose beliefs are based generally on pre-Judeo / Christian myths and traditions, especially those of northern Europe and the British Isles. It is a spiritual construct quite different than that of the society at large, with profound implications both for the social and built environment. Since the late Middle Ages the practice of these beliefs has been out of necessity secretive and underground. Therefore there is no modern and little historical built precedence from which to start. The development of an attitude about both the landscape and how to place buildings within it is the central issue of this thesis. Rather than being prescriptive, an attitude provides guidance in how to approach the design and building processes without requiring use of a specific "style" of constructional system. By attuning the attitude toward physical form with the general attitudes and beliefs of a community, the outcome of the building process should provide an appropriate environment for that communitie's life and activities. The basic Pagan and Wiccan beliefs are an understanding and abstraction of Nature and the cycles of the seasons. Building a community for Pagans and Witches implies that appropriate attitudes can be found in understanding how the landscape behaves and using that understanding as the basis for building. Since the community accepts the physical character of the Universe as real and important, it is that which we can experience in the world that should guide how we integrate ourselves into Nature. We too are part of nature, not outside of it, and so part of building is finding a balance between the willful act of changing the environment to support us and allowing the land to continue on with its own business of fertility, growth, decline and death. The narrative character of shared symbols and geometries also have a place in the making of the built environment, their purpose to tell a story, to provide specific associations with the beliefs of the community. Where the narrative character of the building is it's most important feature, such as in the Ritual Building, these will come into use directly. In general. however, it is what we learn from the landscape which will generate an appropriate building method.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the interaction between well-being and environmental volunteering. Focusing on five case study groups across Scotland, the emotional, social and physical well-being impacts of active environmental volunteer work are examined. Through an extensive ethnographic approach incorporating in-depth interviewing, participant observation and focus group work the thesis highlights the importance of studying the initial and continuing motivations for individuals to participate in environmental volunteering. This retains a particular focus on emotional and embodied volunteer experiences, exploring the importance of tasks and landscapes on the volunteering encounters. In considering the meaning of volunteering, the thesis also explores linkages of community and citizenship and how individuals frame and understand their volunteering, especially in relation to the environmental aspects of the work. This speaks directly to academic themes of embodiment, human-nature interactions, emotional geographies and social capital. The studentship was an ESRC-CASE funded project, with the CASE partner being Forestry Commission Scotland. The research takes place within a dynamic political context that encompasses current research and work on volunteering and natural environment encounters within Scotland and the UK as a whole. The thesis looks to inform ongoing policy relevant debates on environmental volunteering within both the Forestry Commission Scotland and the Scottish Government.

Building a more Resilient and Low-Carbon Caribbean: Report 4: Infrastructure Resilience in the Caribbean through Nature Based Solutions. Inter-American Development Bank, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004603.

Full text
Abstract:
The Caribbean islands are among the 25 most-vulnerable nations in terms of disasters per-capita or land area, and climate change is only expected to intensify these vulnerabilities. The loss caused by climate events drags the ability of the Caribbean countries to invest in infrastructure and social programs, contributing to slower productivity growth, poorer health outcomes, and lower standards of living. Within this context, building resiliency should become a priority for the Caribbean countries. The series “Building a more resilient and low-carbon Caribbean”, focuses on improving the resiliency, sustainability and decarbonization of the construction industry in the Caribbean. The results show that increasing building resiliency is economically viable for the high-risk islands of the Caribbean, generating long term savings and increasing the infrastructure preparedness to the impacts of CC. The first three reports of the series analyze the economic losses caused by climate related events, the benefits of improving building resiliency to reduce those economic losses and the benefits of subsidized financing for resilient buildings in the Caribbean. The results show that increasing building resiliency is economically viable for the high-risk islands of the Caribbean, generating long term savings and increasing the infrastructure preparedness to the impacts of CC. This report Report 4: Infrastructure Resilience in the Caribbean through Nature Based Solutions - extends the previous analysis to examine the potential role for nature-based solutions (NBSs) in the region. The report first defines NBSs in the context of the Caribbean construction industry. It then considers specific NBS options that could be viable in the region. Next, the report reviews the status of NBS related projects in the Caribbean, including efforts supported by the IDB. This analysis also identifies several barriers to the development of NBSs in the region. Finally, the report suggests measures that can be taken to address these barriers and increase the use of NBSs in the Caribbean.

Bridges, Todd, Jeffrey King, Johnathan Simm, Michael Beck, Georganna Collins, Quirijn Lodder, and Ram Mohan. International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features for Flood Risk Management. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41946.

Full text
Abstract:
To deliver infrastructure that sustain our communities, economy, and environment, we must innovate, modernize, and even revolutionize our approach to infrastructure development. Change takes courage, but as one starts down the path of innovation, what was once novel becomes more familiar, more established. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is walking this path with our partners through the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Initiative, integrating human engineering with natural systems. The International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features for Flood Risk Management are the next step toward revolutionary infrastructure development—a set of real-world guidelines to help familiarize us with what was once novel. USACE and collaborators around the world have been building, learning, and documenting the best practices for constructing Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for decades. The consolidation of these lessons into a single guidance document gives decision-makers and practitioners a much-needed resource to pursue, consider, and apply NNBF for flood risk management while expanding value through infrastructure. Relationships and partnerships are vital ingredients for innovation and progress. The NNBF Guidelines was achieved because of the strong relationships in the nature-based engineering community. The magnitude and diversity of contributors to the NNBF Guidelines have resulted in a robust resource that provides value beyond a single agency, sector, or nation. Similarly, the work of incorporating NNBF into projects will require us to strengthen our relationships across organizations, mandates, and missions to achieve resilient communities. I hope you are inspired by the collaborative achievement of the NNBF Guidelines and will draw from this resource to develop innovative solutions to current and future flood risk management challenges. There is a lot we can achieve together along the path of revolutionary infrastructure development.

Fernandez, Katya, Marian Ruderman, and Cathleen Clerkin. Building Leadership resilience: The CORE Framework. Center for Creative Leadership, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.35613/ccl.2020.2043.

Full text
Abstract:
Effectively building resilience in today’s increasingly uncertain and complex world is crucial, especially for those in leadership positions. The current paper offers the following insights for leaders interested in building resilience: • A brief overview of what we know about resilience and burnout. This overview is informed by decades of research in leadership development. • A new, integrated framework for cultivating resilience in leaders: The CORE (Comprehensive Resilience) Framework. This framework is focused on four areas (physical, mental, emotional, and social) and takes a whole-self approach to resilience by developing a diverse set of responses to change and disruption. • A review of the eight practices designed to help build resilience within the CORE framework: sleep, physical activity, mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal, savoring, gratitude, social connection, and social contact. These practices were selected because there is empirical evidence of their effectiveness specifically in leaders and because they are simple, both in nature and in how they can integrated into daily life. Each practice review also includes tips for how to incorporate these practices into daily life. • A discussion of the practical and future applications of the CORE framework.

Full text
Abstract:
This report critically examines the nature of the distinction between traditional inter-state diplomacy and sustainable development diplomacy. It then sets out the institutional changes which are necessary for the achievement of sustainable development diplomacy. Multi-stakeholder partnerships have been identified as a key means of implementation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the increasing centrality of the United States (US)–China relationship in global development cooperation, understanding the modalities of their engagement may provide useful insights into how partnerships may be cultivated and deepened to realise the SDGs. The Covid-19 pandemic and climate change have demonstrated the interconnection of the world, as well as the interconnection of challenges of the world. Sustainable development diplomacy is needed now more than ever to prioritise development strategies of different states and work on common shared challenges. Sustainable development diplomacy can only work when different actors recognise the value of the common goals and are willing to make an effort to accomplish them. Global sustainable development diplomacy requires a stronger policy agenda and greater cohesion. This report explores the idea of sustainable development diplomacy and, through two sectoral case studies, explores the nature, function, and rationale for interactive engagement. The form and structure of multi-actor relationships are a response to complex, trans-border political, social, economic, and environmental challenges which require a more nuanced and varied management approach than narrowly defined state-led development. However, the power dynamics, the modalities, and experiences of engagement that underpin these dynamic relationships, remain understudied, especially with regard to their impact on sustainable development.

Full text
Abstract:
Human activity has modified and deteriorated natural ecosystems in ways that reduce resilience and exacerbate environmental and climate problems. Physical measures to protect, manage and restore these ecosystems that also address societal challenges in sustainable ways and bring biodiversity benefits are sometimes referred to as “nature-based solutions” (NBS). For example, reducing deforestation and restoring forests is a major opportunity for climate mitigation, while protecting or restoring coastal habitats can mitigate damage to coastal areas from natural hazard events, in addition to potentially providing co-benefits related to livelihood, recreation, and biodiversity. There is now an impetus to shift towards greater deployment of nature-based solutions. Not only do they offer an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based or hard infrastructure solutions but, if implemented correctly, they also hold great promise for achieving multiple goals, benefits and synergies. These include climate mitigation and resilience; nature and biodiversity protection; and economic and social gains. 2020 saw an explosion in publications about NBS, which have contributed to filling many of the knowledge gaps that existed around their effectiveness and factors for their success. These publications have also highlighted the knowledge gaps that remain and have revealed a lack of critical reflection on the social and economic sustainability aspects of NBS. Building on these gaps, we decided to launch this mini-series of four briefs to provoke a more nuanced discussion that highlights not only the potential benefits, but also the potential risks and trade-offs of NBS. The purpose is not to downplay the importance of NBS for biodiversity, ecosystems, and coastal mitigation and adaptation, but to ensure that we establish a dialogue about ways to overcome these challenges while leaving no one behind.

Abstract:
Agricultural production is responsible for the majority of global land use. The use of land to produce food almost always comes into conflict with goals for the conservation of nature and wildlife. This building block explains the land sparing-sharing continuum, which encompasses two fundamentally different approaches to balancing goals for food production and biodiversity conservation.

Abstract:
Ihsan Yılmaz’s new book presents a detailed analysis of Turkey’s political and sociological evolution, from the country’s anxious birth as a “fearful nation,” preoccupied and weighed down by historical traumas to the present. Yılmaz’s study provides a detailed account of the polity’s “never-ending” nation-building process and offers keen insights into why this process is intransient. His book highlights the political nature of defining citizens as either “desired,” “tolerated,” or “undesired” and the way this definitional process functions as a tool in hegemonic rivalries between “political tribes” in polities such as Turkey.
