“…However, only full‐text articles available in English were included in the final analysis. While no specific time range was assigned, it should be recognized that earlier literature is less likely to be available electronically and thus some bias may be introduced (Raum et al, 2023, p. 589).

This systematic review examines existing literature on environmental long‐term agreements (LTAs), such as conservation covenants, to identify the enablers and barriers to adoption and thus their potential for use in new contexts such as across land boundaries. To achieve environmental and societal targets, there is a clear and urgent need for more ambitious, longer‐term agri‐environment funding mechanisms which operate at a large scale. This is, in part, due to the recognition by national governments that shifts in policy for long‐term sustainability are needed since many existing agri‐environment schemes have not had the desired outcomes. The recent inclusion of conservation covenants in the UK's Environment Act demonstrates one such attempt to address this issue. Through critically analyzing the use of LTAs across the world using a systematic rapid evidence assessment approach, this article assesses the potential of these agreements to deliver landscape‐scale environmental benefits and public goods that are increasingly being sought by national governments as they strive for transformative policies to prevent and mitigate environmental and climate catastrophes. Exploring the enablers and barriers to adoption, alongside examples of successful LTAs, we provide an overview from which interested parties—policymakers, land managers, and private enterprises, among others—can begin to understand the opportunities and barriers which surround these agreements. Overall, this literature review identifies several factors likely to affect the uptake of LTAs, including concerns around land managers' and stakeholders' real/perceived capacity to engage, a need for flexibility, finance structures, and how monitoring and evaluation are managed.This article is categorized under: Climate and Environment > Circular Economy Climate and Environment > Ecosystem Services Climate and Environment > Net Zero Planning and Decarbonization Policy and Economics > Regional and International Strategies

This study investigates the players involved in developing renewable energy in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, considering the insufficient contribution of renewable energy in 2021, which stood at 11.5% in contrast to the government’s set objectives of 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. The research methodology encompasses primary data gathering methods, namely interviews conducted with stakeholders who have been selected using the Delphi Stakeholders process. Additionally, secondary data will be incorporated into the study. The findings revealed a disparity in the influence and significance of stakeholders, wherein four primary stakeholders, namely the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, West Sumatra Provincial Energy and Mineral Resources Agency, PLN, and Pertamina, exhibited substantial influence and high levels of importance. Conversely, most other stakeholders demonstrated relatively low levels of importance. In summary, it is imperative to enhance involvement, transparency, and collaboration to effectively tackle these disparities and foster the advancement of sustainable renewable energy initiatives within the area.

Benefits provided by urban trees are increasingly threatened by non-native pests and pathogens. Monitoring of these invasions is critical for the effective management and conservation of urban tree populations. However, a shortage of professionally collected species occurrence data is a major impediment to assessments of biological invasions in urban areas. We applied data from iNaturalist to develop a protocol for monitoring urban biological invasions using the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) invasion in two urban areas of South Africa. iNaturalist records for all known PSHB reproductive host species were used together with data on localities of sites for processing plant biomass to map priority monitoring areas for detecting new and expanding PSHB infestations. Priority monitoring areas were also identified using the distribution of Acer negundo, a highly susceptible host that serves as a sentinel species for the detection of PSHB infestations. iNaturalist data provided close to 9000 observations for hosts in which PSHB is known to reproduce in our study area (349 of which were A. negundo). High-priority areas for PSHB monitoring include those with the highest density of PSHB reproductive hosts found close to the 140 plant biomass sites identified. We also identified high-priority roads for visual and baited trap surveys, providing operational guidance for practitioners. The monitoring protocol developed in this study highlights the value of citizen or community science data in informing the management of urban biological invasions. It also advocates for the use of platforms such as iNaturalist as essential tools for conservation monitoring in urban landscapes.
