Practices of development assistance and climate change mitigation in reshaping the Mozambican REDD+ strategy
2020
ABSTRACTThis paper studies how the practices of climate change governance and development assistance have reshaped the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) process in Mozambique. We look at how the original goals of the Mozambican REDD+ strategy changed in the interplay of different governance-related practices, both those originating locally and nationally, and those coming from international organisations. The paper is based on the frameworks of multilevel governance and practice theory. We identify six combinations of practices that are relevant in the REDD+ programmes and projects. Three of them are incorporated in the general idea of sustainability, inclu…

Maakunnallisen ilmastostrategian tavoitteet, toteutuminen ja kehittäminen : case Keski-Suomi
2017
Muuttuvan ilmastopolitiikan myötä syntyy uusia velvoitteita kansainvälisen, kansallisen, maakunnallisen ja kunnallisen tason ilmastopolitiikkaan. Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa selvitettiin uusimpiin voimassa oleviin ja tulossa oleviin ilmastosopimuksiin, strategioihin ja ohjeistuksiin maakunnallisen, ja erityisesti Keski-Suomen ilmastostrategian ja sen keinovalikoiman kehittämisen näkökulmasta. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin Keski-Suomen kasvihuonekaasupäästömäärien kehittymistä vuosista 2004 ja 2006 vuoteen 2014 sekä vuoden 2020 ennusteita. Tarkastelut tehtiin sektorikohtaisesti. Tarkasteltavina olivat energia-, liikenne-, maatalous- ja jätesektori. Tulosten mukaan Keski-Suomen kasvihuonekaasupääst…
Labor as Action: the Human Condition in the Anthropocene
2020
Abstract The Anthropocene has become an umbrella term for the disastrous transgression of ecological safety boundaries by human societies. The impact of this new reality is yet to be fully registered by political theorists. In an attempt to recalibrate the categories of political thought, this article brings Hannah Arendt’s framework of The Human Condition (labor, work, action) into the gravitational pull of the Anthropocene and current knowledge about the Earth System. It elaborates the historical emergence of our capacity to “act in the mode of laboring” during fossil-fueled capitalist modernity, a form of agency relating to our collectively organized laboring processes reminiscent of the…
Developing a matrix framework for protein transition towards more sustainable diets
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to propose a matrix framework to understand the interdependencies of domains and scales of protein transition towards diets based on plants and alternative sources of proteins.Design/methodology/approachThe abductive research approach is used in building the framework, and the proposed framework is illustrated using the regional food system in Central Finland as an example. Focus groups and interviews were used to collect qualitative data from 28 respondents.FindingsThis study provides a framework for protein transition, with five domains and five scale levels. Interactions between public and private governance activities at different scales, domains and …
Climate Change, Uncertainty and Ethical Superstorms
2021
I argue that one of the most urgent tasks of geoethics is how to deal with climate change in a just and equitable way. At worst, our current path could lead to multi-metre sea-level rise, increases in storms and climate extremes, causing devastating social disruption and economic consequences. I present some alternatives on how to handle this alarming prospect, arguing that we cannot condense our decision-making on climate change into numerical calculations, but should instead make ethical judgements. The commonly used expected utility maximation can be considered a gamble on future generations’ expense for the benefit of the current ones. Thus, from a Rawlsian perspective, we will instead …

Disentangling conditional effects of multiple regime shifts on Atlantic cod productivity
2020
AbstractRegime shifts are increasingly prevalent in the ecological literature. However, definitions vary, and many detection methods are subjective. Here, we employ an operationally objective means of identifying regime shifts, using a Bayesian online change-point detection algorithm able to simultaneously identify shifts in the mean and(or) variance of time series data. We detected multiple regime shifts in long-term (59-154 years) patterns of coastal Norwegian Atlantic cod (>70% decline) and putative drivers of cod productivity: North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO); sea-surface temperature; zooplankton abundance; fishing mortality (F). The consequences of an environmental or climate-relate…
