“…More specifically, de Jaramillo et al ( 2023) make a number of calls for action, including, increasing policy coherence and strengthening natural governance; improving sustainable soil management; adapting and intensifying the knowledgesharing of farmers, farm advisors and farm teachers; and empowering rural areas by cross-farm cooperation and through high local value creation. Taylor et al (2023) argued that while organisations are committing to biodiversity protection targets, with a focus on nature positive outcomes, there are few examples of how to feasibly achieve such targets. In a case study of Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford University, UK, Taylor et al (2023) put forward an approach to achieve nature positive targets with respect to the biodiversity impact of food consumption.…”

ATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.

“…Each time, the context is different, and interventions may not be easily (or appropriately) transferrable from, for example, one school to another. However, documenting carefully what works in one context, while outlining processes, challenges, and facilitators, can be highly informative for similar endeavours in other contexts (Skivington et al, 2021;Taylor et al, 2023).…”

“…These emissions result from buildings and energy use of daily operations, as well as business travel, commuting, food, and financial investments in fossil fuel industries. Health psychologists can play key roles in decarbonising their organisations, through pushing for low emissions buildings, supply chains, catering, conferencing, and travel options, thus creating conditions that afford more sustainable individual actions and change organisational and ultimately, societal norms to rapidly scale up efforts to limit climate change (see e.g., Köhler et al, 2022;Nielsen, Nicholas, et al, 2021;Salamon, 2019;Taylor et al, 2023;Urai & Kelly, 2023).…”

Climate change is an ongoing and escalating health emergency. It threatens the health and wellbeing of billions of people, through extreme weather events, displacement, food insecurity, pathogenic diseases, societal destabilisation, and armed conflict. Climate change dwarfs all other challenges studied by health psychologists. The greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change disproportionately originate from the actions of wealthy populations in the Global North and are tied to excessive energy use and overconsumption driven by the pursuit of economic growth. Addressing this crisis requires significant societal transformations and individual behaviour change. Most of these changes will benefit not only the stability of the climate but will yield significant public health co-benefits. Because of their unique expertise and skills, health psychologists are urgently needed in crafting climate change mitigation responses. We propose specific ways in which health psychologists at all career stages can contribute, within the spheres of research, teaching, and policy making, and within organisations and as private citizens. As health psychologists, we cannot sit back and leave climate change to climate scientists. Climate change is a health emergency that results from human behaviour; hence it is in our power to address it.

“…The updated version of the planetary boundaries shows that land use change has breached the stability threshold (Steffen et al, 2023). Serving as a fundamental human interaction with the natural world, land use change through cultivated land development and utilization directly affects the environment (H. L. Long, 2022).…”

Exploring the green development of cultivated land (GDCL) and solving the problem of “high consumption and high pollution” caused by the traditional model are of great significance for achieving sustainable use of cultivated land and green agricultural growth. However, the existing consensus on action lacks theoretical support and quantitative analysis. To this end, the objective of this study was to develop a new multidimensional framework considering as an integrated capacity to adaptability‐vitality‐resistance (A‐V‐R) assess GDCL according to the essential requirement of green development. The analytical framework and evaluation system proposed in this study are expected to provide empirical support for the green transition of cultivated land use in China or worldwide. This study determines spatiotemporal differentiation and influencing mechanism of GDCL in China from 2000 to 2020. The results demonstrated that the GDCL level of China was low and characterized by a W‐shaped fluctuation. The regional difference in GDCL is greater than that within the regions and the evolution of different types of regions showed significant path dependence and spatiotemporal inertia. The reason behind this phenomenon is that agricultural technology and socioeconomic development factors such as agricultural mechanization level, urban–rural income equity index and extensively influenced GDCL in different regions. The interaction among driving factors forms a complex multi‐resultant force to construct a comprehensive action mechanism at the GDCL level driven by demand, economy, technology, and ecology. Therefore, this study suggests coordinating the relationship between technological progress, technological diffusion, agricultural total factor productivity, and the GDCL path, in order to effectively reduce the internal and external contradictions of GDCL.
