“…Resulting evidence of lack of uptake of these amidst ongoing environmental degradation, the accordion returned to narrower and firm-level commitments. Second, I review how the four schools of sustainability (Cashore, 2013) that I have elaborated individually and with collaborators (Cashore, 2013(Cashore, , 2021Cashore et al, 2019), championed very distinct sustainability transformation projects (Visseren-Hamakers et al, 2021). Each of these, in turn, carries subtly distinct approaches for adjudicating internal and external 'whack-a-mole' effects: i.e., those cases in which solving one problem makes another worse.…”

“…This chapter reviews the plausibility of a counterintuitive explanation for these trends: that the correlations between the proliferation of private sector engagement in and reinforcing of FMD solutions alongside the acceleration of environmental crises are not owing to poor policy design and implementation challenges , but rather to highly successful, but competing, sustainability transformation projects (Visseren-Hamakers et al, 2021). I explore the potential of this argument by reviewing Cashore's…”

Drawing on contributions from more than thirty scholars and experts in the field, this book examines the role of business as an enabler, as an inhibitor, and ultimately as a co-actor in global sustainability transformations expected over the next few decades.The Role of Business in Global Sustainability Transformations employs several theoretical perspectives and provides abundant examples and cases to discuss a variety of emerging concepts, phenomena, and trends shaping business sustainability. Weaving through the chapters, the editors present core tensions and sources of inertia towards transformative change, and acknowledge that envisioning multiple solutions and pathways are possible and desirable. They advocate for the need to align visions, actions and time horizons between policy, society and business in addressing the interlinked socio-ecological challenges that our society currently faces. This book will be an important resource for scholars and professionals working in the field of sustainability and sustainable business, and a vital educational text for students interested in this discipline.

“…While this research draws from the broader literature on transformative change in social-ecological systems, the discussion focuses largely on the water sector. In this sense, the aspiration of the paper is modest, as it focuses on transition, which is concerned with change in a specific system or regime as opposed to transformation, which is about fundamental changes in the broader societal structures [42].…”

The Roles of Adaptive Water Governance in Enhancing the Transition towards Ecosystem-Based Adaptation

The growing realization of the inadequacies of the conventional approach to climate change adaptation has generated interest in sustainable forms of adaptation that could promote long-term ecosystem health and social equity. In this regard, the concept of ecosystem-based adaptation has been receiving attention as an integrative framework for maintaining healthy ecosystems, with the aim of building the resilience and reducing the vulnerability of social–ecological systems to climate change impacts. However, there is currently an inadequate understanding of the institutional requirements for the transition towards ecosystem-based adaptation. A promising institutional mechanism for addressing these governance challenges is adaptive governance, a governance mechanism that relies on flexible, multi-level institutions to connect actors across multiple scales in managing conflicting values and uncertainties in ecosystem-based management processes. This paper discusses four roles of adaptive governance in the transition of water resource systems towards ecosystem-based adaptation: (1) creating awareness about climate change through social learning and the integration of diverse sources of knowledge; (2) generating interest for policy change through the provision of economic and non-economic incentives; (3) creating opportunities for change through the promotion of vertical and horizontal interactions among actors; and (4) building capacities for change through enhanced access to relevant institutions and resources.
