“…Such factors appear as crucial setbacks in a world unable to deliver on the quantity and quality of inclusive financing, investments, technology, and innovative political approaches needed (Tomlinson, 2013;IDB Group, 2019). It reinforces the transformational aspects of necessary shifts, highlighting the importance of fiscal and institutional measures as essential factors for supporting inclusive growth, productive processes, and climate-resilient pathways (Sumner, 2017;Ferreira Costa, 2020a;Kim et al, 2020).…”

<p>SDG goals of ending poverty and achieving Zero Hunger must address the nexus of a transformational shift in the Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) Agenda, integrating more sustainable food systems, territorial development, sustainable infrastructure, fiscal and economic elements to robust social protection schemes. By considering Family Farming government expenditure budget, the slowing and stalled economic growth, and political and fiscal policy developments. We discuss Brazil's high-level government budgetary interventions, the governance and institutional contexts affecting food security as indicators of how aggressive budgetary and institutional measures have negatively impacted the nation's social protection policy environment, resilience, and sustainable development perspectives.</p>

“…Second, mainstreaming climate action into development paths at every level is discussed as essential (Burch et al, 2014;Dovie et al, 2020;Mulugetta and Castán Broto, 2018;Ferreira Costa, 2020;Tanner et al, 2019). To what extent this occurs depends on appropriate governance, regulations, knowledge and education, and resourcing (Schipper et al, 2020;Stringer et al, 2020).…”

“…Second, Cabo Verde is vulnerable to climate change due to its tropical location, small area and susceptibility to natural hazards such as coastal flooding or droughts (Varela et al 2020, 2022). The archipelago is of volcanic origin in the Sahel sub‐region and is generally defined by a dry tropical climate with two distinctive climatic seasons: a long dry season during the winter followed by a short season of concentrated rainfall during the summer (Ferreira Costa 2020). Historically, Cabo Verde has undergone cyclic patterns of climatic conditions that involved prolonged periods of droughts.…”

Global biodiversity loss is a major environmental concern. The wildlife on islands are particularly vulnerable to threats posed by alien predators, habitat loss and overexploitation. Effective conservation management of vulnerable species requires reliable information on vital population rates for all life stages and an understanding of key environmental drivers. However, demographic data are often not available for island populations before they decline or are extirpated. Here, we use Cormack–Jolly–Seber (CJS) models and 15 years of data for 1370 juveniles and 687 adults to estimate apparent survival for a genetically distinct resident population of Kentish plovers Charadrius alexandrinus on the island of Maio, Cabo Verde. We report two main findings. First, environmental conditions have a large effect on demographic performance since chicks that hatch during dry years experience a tenfold reduction in first‐year survival compared to chicks that hatch during wet years. Second, female and male plovers in Maio are expected to live for 7.41 ± 0.69 (mean ± SE) years and 6.75 ± 0.64 years, respectively, due to relatively high annual survival among comparable‐sized shorebirds. High adult survival thus could buffer the population against low reproductive success that this population has experienced over the last decade. Cabo Verde is typical of tropical islands with increased development that can impact native breeders and/or will accelerate habitat loss. Thus, more frequent droughts associated with climate change may exacerbate the prospects of native wildlife on many islands.
