“…Similarly, anticipation in governance contributes to finding shared and common visions about alternative future states of climate resilience and sustainable coastal social-ecological systems including urban areas (SDGs 11,13,14,and 15) (e.g., Levin et al, 2021;Rölfer et al, 2022;Vervoort & Gupta, 2018). Finally, lived experiences and values -similar to authentic engagement -creates the conditions for justice and equity among societal actors, including intersectional approaches to inequalities, e.g., by including actors from different cultural backgrounds, gender, and ages (SDGs 5, 10, and 11) (e.g., Staffa et al, 2022). The goals of equity (SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities), justice (SDG 16) and gender equality (SDG 5) are frequently invoked in one or more of the six types of social innovations, highlighting the intersectionality across all social innovations.…”

Post-industrial society is driving global environmental change which is a challenge for all generations, current and future. The Anthropocene, the geological epoch in which humans dominate, is rooted in both the past, present and future. Future sustainability is building on the momentum of the fundamental importance of studying human dynamics and governance of coupled social and ecological systems. In the Anthropocene, social innovation may play a critical role in achieving new pathways to sustainability. This conventional narrative review uses a qualitative analysis anchored in the Grounded Theory Method and a systematic collection and analysis of papers to identify broad types of social innovations. Scientific journal articles published since 2018 were prioritised for inclusion. The six types of social innovation proposed are a) authentic engagement; b) artful and engaging communication; c) urging and compelling change; d) governance for social-ecological systems; e) anticipation in governance; and f) lived experiences and values. The six innovations proposed in this paper can be embedded within, and form part of, social action using a science-society compact for the sustainable development of coasts in the Anthropocene.

“…This recognizes and values them as (co)creators of change while contributing to their empowerment by developing a sense of ownership in the knowledge creation. A third way is via the recognition of and engagement with a diversity of knowledges, whether derived from formal research or situated knowledge, to discuss unequal power relations and hierarchical and neo-colonial scientific constructs -including the validity of gender concepts, methods and methodologies, and, as part of this, to build upon marginalized knowledges through feminist standpoints (Lopez and Ludwig, 2021;Staffa et al, 2022). The ongoing "reflecting and doing" process of the GTRM-CoP embraces these distinct engagements and in so doing aligns with recent feminist thinking and critical insights about the role, responsibility and accountability of the researcher and of their research impacts in neo-colonial contexts (see for instance Istratii, 2020;McAlvay et al, 2021).…”

Gender-transformative change requires a commitment from everyone involved in agricultural research for development (AR4D) including organizations at international and national level, individual researchers and practitioners, farmers, development agencies, policy-makers and consumers, to transform the existing values, practices and priorities that (re)produce and perpetuate gender biases and inequities in agrifood systems. However, the adoption of a gender transformative agenda can be challenging, especially for AR4D organizations whose primary focus is not necessarily the attainment of gender equality. This paper looks at a collective, bottom-up, transformative effort within the AR4D organization of CGIAR. It advances the emerging CGIAR Community of Practice on Gender Transformative Research Methodologies (GTRM-CoP) as a case study to explore the potential of CoPs as social learning systems that create the conditions for transformation-oriented learning. Driven by an ethos of reflecting and doing anchored in critical and feminist principles and social learning praxis, the GTRM-CoP aims to be a safe space to spur reflexivity, creativity and collaboration to support existing work on gender transformation in CGIAR while re-imagining how gender in AR4D is conceptualized, negotiated and advanced. The paper focuses on the process leading to the development of the CoP, that is, designing for change, which is crucial for sustained transformation.

“…Anxiety is increasingly linked to environmental issues, as evident in phrases such as eco-anxiety, climate anxiety, and others [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]130]. As such, it is important that the academic discussions cover disabled people under these terms with a focus on environmentbased social stressors that might add to the environment-based anxiety.…”

It is important that disabled people are covered under these terms, as disabled people disproportionally experience nature-based social stressors [64,65], which could lead to anxiety.…”

Academic Coverage of Social Stressors Experienced by Disabled People: A Scoping Review

Social stress can be caused by many factors. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) highlights many social stressors disabled people experience in their daily lives. How social stressors experienced by disabled people are discussed in the academic literature and what data are generated influence social-stressor related policies, education, and research. Therefore, the aim of our study was to better understand the academic coverage of social stressors experienced by disabled people. We performed a scoping review study of academic abstracts employing SCOPUS, the 70 databases of EBSCO-HOST and Web of Science, and a directed qualitative content analysis to achieve our aim. Using many different search strategies, we found few to no abstracts covering social stressors experienced by disabled people. Of the 1809 abstracts obtained using various stress-related phrases and disability terms, we found a bias towards covering disabled people as stressors for others. Seventeen abstracts mentioned social stressors experienced by disabled people. Fourteen abstracts flagged “disability” as the stressor. No abstract contained stress phrases specific to social stressors disabled people experience, such as “disablism stress*” or “ableism stress*”. Of the abstracts containing equity, diversity, and inclusion phrases and policy frameworks, only one was relevant, and none of the abstracts covering emergency and disaster discussions, stress-identifying technologies, or science and technology governance were relevant. Anxiety is one consequence of social stressors. We found no abstract that contained anxiety phrases that are specific to social stressors disabled people experience, such as “ableism anxiety”, “disablism anxiety” or “disability anxiety”. Within the 1809 abstract, only one stated that a social stressor is a cause of anxiety. Finally, of the abstracts that contained anxiety phrases linked to a changing natural environment, such as “climate anxiety”, none were relevant. Our study found many gaps in the academic literature that should be fixed and with that highlights many opportunities.
