“…Both of these approaches can be considered to be examples of 'sustainability appraisal', as defined by Sheate et al (2001); 'integrated sustainability appraisal' as discussed by Eggenberger and Partidário (2000) or 'integrated impact assessment' . Similarly, Lee (2002) uses the term 'sustainability assessment' to describe a special form of integrated assessment, which takes into consideration economic, environmental and social impacts; a definition which applies equally to EIA-driven and objectives-led integrated assessment.…”

Designing Learning for Sustainable Development: Digital Practices as Boundary Crossers and Predictors of Sustainable Lifestyles

Sustainable development (SD) is a multidimensional issue. However, research findings report a divide between students' awareness and behavior. It is identified that study programs are designed more for awareness outcomes, and not so much for behavioral outcomes. For higher-order learning outcomes manifested in a sustainable development behavior, the authors argue for a model based on an understanding of learning as boundary crossing. Based on this model, learning for sustainable development occurs in relating social practices, lifestyles, academic practices, professional practices, and students' digital practices. To inform teachers' approaches to teaching as an important driver of institutional change, we conducted a survey among students of urban and spatial planning in Slovenia. Examined factors included personal, academic, and digital predictors for sustainable development awareness, lifestyle, and behavioral intention. We hypothesized that a significant predictor for sustainable development behavior, which was measured as sustainable lifestyle and sustainable development behavioral intention, would be learning in social practices, and that learning in social practices would predict preferred teaching methods. The findings of hierarchical regression analysis indicated personal factors as the most important predictors of SD behavioral intention, and academic predictors as the most important factors for SD awareness. Digital practices were found to be the most important predictors of a sustainable lifestyle. Social practices of sustainable lifestyle, digital practices, and perceived teaching methods predicted students' preferred teaching methods. We discuss the future directions of sustainable development education, considering digital social media practices as essential boundary crossers.

“…3 Note that originally only integrating the objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into other sectoral policies was referred to as climate policy integration/mainstreaming, but this focus has been gradually broadened to also include adaptation considerations since around 2012 (IPCC 2012;Mullally and Dunphy 2015;CasadoAsenio and Steurer 2012;Van Asselt et al 2015). divided into seven strategic activities (cf., Benson et al 2007;Eggenberger and Partidario 2000;Lafferty 2002;Holden 2004;Jacob and Volkery 2004;Jordan and Lenschow 2010;La Trobe and Davis 2005;Nunan et al 2012;Swart and Raes 2007). The mainstreaming framework presented in Table 1 encompasses and consolidates these strategies, including normative, operational and strategic (i.e., organisational and procedural) factors at different policy making stages (cf.…”

Making headway in climate policy mainstreaming and ecosystem-based adaptation: two pioneering countries, different pathways, one goal

Ecosystem-based adaptation (i.e. the use of ecosystem services to adapt to climate change) and its mainstreaming into municipal planning to foster sustainable transformation is receiving increasing interest from both academic and governmental bodies. However, little is known about the pathways for its systematic implementation, or the extent to which it is already mainstreamed in municipal planning practice. This article reports on a study in which local pathways to sustainably mainstream ecosystem-based adaptation were compared in 12 municipalities in Germany and Sweden. The results show that while progress is seemingly similar in the two countries, there are noticeable differences regarding the local triggers, the importance given to particular mainstreaming strategies and their link to climate policy integration. Ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation are not labelled or systematised in either country. In addition, the mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation is enabled through municipalities' level of experience in mainstreaming other issues. In Sweden, the ecosystem service concept drives adaptation mainstreaming, which is often disconnected from the integration of climate mitigation policy. In contrast, German structures and planning processes established for climate change mitigation are paving the way. We conclude that systematic adaptation mainstreaming and its potential linkages and disconnects with climate mitigation policy integration require more explicit consideration, both in research and practice. We call for more research on the role of inclusive (as opposed to fragmented) climate policy integration to assure sustainable planning and transformation.
