“…These institutions afford a political voice to each member state and nearly all countries make meaningful use of that (Iida, 1988). However, both formal and informal inequalities within the system often allow GN countries to have a disproportionate influence on the workings of the organization and the operationalization of its goals (Blicharska et al, 2021; Novosad & Werker, 2019).…”

To address climatic risks to human security, various climate security risk assessment (CSRA) tools have been developed. We have systematically reviewed 28 such tools against state-of-the-art research to (i) define best practices in CSRAs, (ii) identify related gaps in these tools and derive recommendations on how to address them, and (iii) outline a policy-relevant research agenda. We suggest the following measures to improve CSRA tools: Global South actors need to be more strongly involved in priority setting, conceptualization, risk analysis, and intervention design. CSRA tools should offer geographically disaggregated analyses, transparently explain choices regarding tools’ temporal and geographical foci, and assess their implications for the evidence. In this regard, any type of sampling bias should be avoided. Mixed methods can offer clear advantages to study the context-specific climate security dynamics across different time scales. The main gaps in the tools’ conceptualizations evolve around comprehensive consideration of risk determinants (climatic hazards, exposure, and vulnerability) and complex climate–security linkages, communication of uncertainty, and implementation of validation routines. These factors need to be better accounted for. To advance CSRAs, future research should, for example, develop methodologies to systematically integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches, improve the performance of risk predictions, and develop conflict projections.

Sustainable Development Goals advocated by the United Nations in 2015 focus upon five major crucial areas of concern by 2030 i.e., people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. Through a bibliometric analysis, the present study intends to examine the trends, development, and prospects of the Sustainable Development Goals from 2016 to 2023. The study employed VOSviewer, MS Excel, and Biblioshiny (R Studio) to examine data collected from the Web of Science core collection database. In total, 2,814 title-based articles were analyzed and refined. Various methods were employed to identify the multidimensional contribution to the research of SDGs, including analysis of keywords, prolific authors, productive journals, active institutions and countries, and collaborations. The study identified significant clusters of SDG themes, such as environmental sustainability, education and attitude towards sustainability, and improvement in health quality and women's participation. The study also identified the top publications, prominent authors and journals, active institutions, research gaps, and nations contributing to this domain. The results show that high-income nations have a notably higher level of deliberation regarding SDG research. The results revealed significant implications, offering insightful information to stakeholders, researchers, and policymakers to prioritize future research endeavors and resource allocation to best achieve the 2030 SDGs.

“…In contrast, they champion ‘the potential that multidimensional and multilevel relationships offer for transformation…the process of building collaborative relationships may offer lasting benefits for individuals, organisations, and society as a whole’ (p. 35). Implementation of partnerships may even perpetuate a North–South ‘divide’ by existing global inequalities in the design and implementation of partnerships that pursue a Northern agenda rather than respond to lower income countries’ needs (Blicharska, et al 2021). In partnering, the tensions between these seeming dualities are evident – democratisation and professionalisation, local and global interests, resourced and resource-deprived actors, processes and outcomes.…”

A conceptual review of Sustainable Development Goal 17: Picturing politics, proximity and progress

We outline the discursive origins of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17, describing its ambiguous marching orders, which are further confused by shifting and contested stakeholder approaches. The widespread effect is to obscure the primary aim of making the tropics and other vulnerable countries more resilient, and also globally overcoming barriers to their development. We argue that ecological reflexivity, as developed and advanced by deliberative democracy and the Earth System Governance Project, belongs at the apex of those capacities needed for implementing the Agenda for Transformation. Ecological reflexivity conceptually grounds inclusive, open, critical, and consequential engagement of discourses situated among capable representatives, advocates, and citizens. SDG-related partnerships – whether designed around funding, technology, knowledge generation, or business innovation – are the locus in which this gets worked out. We advance this aim by proposing adjustment of the focal point using a Picturing framework that can enable both scholarly and practitioner approaches to SDG 17 to correct distortions and also materially ‘strengthen the means of implementation’. Using this framework, which entails Picturing politics, Picturing proximity to the poor, and Picturing progress, actors can shift attention to the accompanying discursive properties that affect implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Picturing is given concrete application through five case examples aligned to the research lenses of the Earth System Governance Research Framework. By drawing on studies spanning Barbados, Grenada, Bolivia, Ghana, Zambia, Peru, India and Fiji we demonstrate potential for the Picturing framework to provoke novel development pathways for a more sustainable future in the tropics.
