“…There is little understanding of how widely implemented or effective avoidance measures have been. Clare et al (2011) interviewed actors involved in mitigating wetland impacts in Canada and concluded that avoidance is not easily defined and is "ignored more often than it is implemented", while Bigard et al (2018) found similar challenges in France. Conversely, Pascoe et al (2019) assessed developer behavior in response to Australian biodiversity offset requirements, suggesting that high offset costs could be incentivizing increased impact avoidance, whereas Phalan et al (2018) examined how avoidance of biodiversity impacts could be improved through strengthened design and enforcement, and reviewed possible reasons (for instance, political will, regulatory weaknesses, poor process, and shortfalls in capacity and technical expertise) for the failure to avoid impacts.…”

Achieving global sustainability objectives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals or Aichi Targets, including remaining within planetary boundaries, necessitates proactively avoiding a proportion of the environmental impacts otherwise expected to result from economic development. Quantifying these "avoided" impacts is important for monitoring progress toward meeting sustainability objectives, but doing so in a consistent way is fraught with difficulty. Using the mitigation of biodiversity impacts by development projects as an example, we explored the challenges of defining and measuring impact avoidance. Avoidance can be defined as either action-based or outcome-based, and classified by whether it is achieved through project cancellation, spatial avoidance, design-based avoidance, or temporal avoidance. We also examined what drives different types of project proponents to implement avoidance measures. To support empirical quantification of the contribution that avoidance makes toward conservation goals, we present a framework for structuring assessments of biodiversity impact avoidance. Our framework has widespread applicability in conservation science, policy, and practice, as well as relevance for broader policies that seek to avoid environmental and social impacts.

“…La première réunit certains des textes fondateurs de l'esprit de la revue, insistant sur les thématiques phares comme l'approche interdisciplinaire qui s'avère nécessaire à la compréhension des articulations entre les deux notions principales de notre revue (Laganier et al, 2002), les inégalités écologiques (Charles et al, 2007), les enjeux patrimoniaux (Requier-Desjardins, 2009), les liens entre paysages et politiques publiques (Peyrache-Gadeau et Perron, 2010) et la crise du développement durable (Theys, 2014). La deuxième rubrique se compose d'une sélection plus fine de la rédaction axée sur la prise de recul critique des auteurs et des articles sélectionnés, abordant notamment des questions relatives aux nouvelles formes de marchandisation du monde (Postel, Sobel, 2009), aux enjeux de biodiversité (Bigard et al, 2018), de managérialisation (Petitimbert, Guimont, 2018), de communs (Buchs et al, 2019) et à la perspective de durabilité forte (Boisvert et al, 2019). Nous avons souhaité mettre en lumière des textes qui nous ont particulièrement marqué, tout en veillant à la parité et la diversité des disciplines d'origine des auteurs et des contributions.…”
