We then took a systems thinking approach to illustrate interlinkages among the issues identified in the horizon scan in a causal network, depicting their multi-directional and non-linear interactions.
Finding a common ground in forest management amid climate change: A case study of transhumant herders and community forest users in Western Nepal
Climatic and non-climatic changes resulted in conflicts between forest users. An incentive-based mechanism, engaging multi-stakeholders, is needed to ensure sustainable flow of ecosystem services.
Differential Climate Change Impacts on Migrant and Resident Populations of the Indian cold deserts
Climate change impacts cold desert communities who strategize adapting to adverse conditions based on their perceptions. Housing, energy and agriculture are major outcomes of adaptation strategies.

Modeling social-ecological interactions in the Pyrenees and beyond: a systems approach to support sustainable decision-making
Mountains face climatic and socioeconomic changes. We model social-ecological interactions in the Pyrenees using multidisciplinary data to diagnose sustainability issues and to inform decision-making.
Indigenous environmental relationality and new cosmopolitical arenas in Andean Argentina
We contrast indigenous and non-indigenous practices of relation between humans and other-than-humans, at the same time highlighting the emergence of a new “cosmopolitical” arena in Andean Argentina.
Assessment of ecosystem services for climate change adaptation in the Alps under the European Nature Restoration Law scenario
We evaluated the ecosystem services that the implementation of Nature-based Solutions would provide in the Alps if the targets of the Nature Restoration Law are met.
