“…However, if substitutability is not given, this would imply the need for maintenance of all capital types (Schröter et al, 2021). Governance of NCP co‐production : In addition to the supply and interrelatedness of different capitals, governance of social‐ecological systems and their anthropogenic and natural capitals plays an important role in the co‐production of NCP (Isaac et al, 2022). Identifying which stakeholders and governance arrangements affect the allocation of capitals and NCP can therefore contribute to designing policies that ensure more sustainable and equitable co‐production, delivery, and use of NCP.…”

Co‐production of nature's contributions to people: What evidence is out there?

Nature's contributions to people (NCP) are fundamental for human life (Hill et al., 2021). Since the launch of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005), a vast amount of studies on NCP, ecosystem services, and related concepts has been published, mostly focusing on ways to value and map their supply (Schröter et al., 2021).Most of these studies assume that nature generates benefits for people while neglecting the contributions of human activities and other forms of anthropogenic capital to their co-production. Recent literature highlights that NCP are not solely nature-given but mostly co-produced by a combination of both natural and anthropogenic

“…The past decades have seen increasing attention on distributive and procedural justice aspects in ES assessments, management, and research (Table 1 ; Pascual and Howe 2018 ). This has come through a shift from framing ES as biophysical conditions and flows toward an understanding that ES are co-produced by people and nature (Palomo et al 2016 ; Bruley et al 2021 ) and recognition of the central role of governance as a mediator between biophysical conditions and human well-being (Primmer et al 2015 ; Nunan et al 2021 ; Isaac et al 2022 ). However, despite an augmented interest in social-ecological systems in which ES are embedded, and despite sophisticated and diverse theoretical understandings of justice (Schreckenberg et al 2018 ), explicit incorporation of justice concerns to foster more balanced and just outcomes remains a challenge both in ES research and practice (Dawson et al 2018 ; Langemeyer and Connolly, 2020 ).…”

Mainstreaming of ecosystem service approaches has been proposed as one path toward sustainable development. Meanwhile, critics of ecosystem services question if the approach can account for the multiple values of ecosystems to diverse groups of people, or for aspects of inter- and intra-generational justice. In particular, an ecosystem service approach often overlooks power dimensions and capabilities that are core to environmental justice. This article addresses the need for greater guidance on incorporating justice into ecosystem services research and practice. We point to the importance of deep engagement with stakeholders and rights holders to disentangle contextual factors that moderate justice outcomes on ecosystem service attribution and appropriation in socio-political interventions. Such a holistic perspective enables the integration of values and knowledge plurality for enhancing justice in ecosystem services research. This broadened perspective paves a way for transformative ecosystem service assessments, management, and research, which can help inform and design governance structures that nourish human agency to sustainably identify, manage, and enjoy ecosystem services for human wellbeing.

Research on Ecosystem Services (ES) has become dominant in landscape planning to frame the relationship between people and nature. Increasingly, studies are stressing that most ES do not flow from nature alone but require a significant human contribution, known as ES co-production. However, there is a lack of understanding on how different stakeholders contribute to ES co-production. Here, we integrated stakeholders’ perspectives in landscape planning using questionnaires and focus groups in a case study in Le Marche, Italy. We found that respondents acknowledge co-production in a wide range of ES with a major share of cultural ES. Mostly self-perceived as users and managers, local stakeholders invest in their activities mainly human and social capitals, while physical and financial capitals gain importance in the case of provisioning services. Our findings embraced the multiple aspects of human-nature interactions, offering the opportunity to bridge different sectors, such as agriculture, eco-tourism, and resilience against extreme events, toward a multifunctional vision of landscapes. The integration of the ES co-production framework proved useful in fostering the access of stakeholders to decision-making.
