“…It can be demonstrated that the analyses of such SDG-land-use associations are proven valuable tools to assess the impact of local urban and municipal planning (possibly relocation) policies on urban development. The key aspects of the interrelation between SDGs and the nexus approach in resilient cities and multifunctional land-use systems can stress the importance of economic incentives for successful nexus implementation, providing specific guidance on how to advance sustainable resource management [39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

Recently land-use planning and green environment services have been considered as inseparable parts of the design of trail paths for a sustainable development. At present there is need of a holistic overview of land uses and land cover, to be linked with the natural environment and regional development. The key determinants of such an approach embody changes in the wake of drivers and anthropocentric changes as well as changes in global greenhouse gases, causing climate change and affecting global biodiversity. In this study the key determinants and the main research objects of previously developed studies were systematically approached by a search of the literature through the Scopus database using these four fields of keywords: (a) “land use” AND environment AND development, (b) “trail path” in the “article titles” AND the subcategory of “land”, (c) “land use” AND “sustainable development”, and, (d) “sustainable” AND “trail”. The derived documents were collected and organized into the following four main domains, being paired together by: (a) year and country/territory, and, (b) keyword and subject area. The classification of the documents was followed by the calculation of relevant “intensity ratios” as key determinants that disclose the well-defined and the emerging fields of further perspectives regarding land use planning and the particular emerging dynamics of the development of trail paths.

“…As the trend continues amidst rising poverty levels, loss of livelihoods and significant outmigration, global interests through "bioeconomy" approaches are gaining grounds under different governance settings (UNEP 2014). Such approaches are expected to create interdependent and synergistic resource production and transformation systems (Hülsmann and Jampani 2021). Scholars…”

“…As with the bioeconomy concept, the nexus concept equally begs for a unifying definition (Endo et al 2017). Currently, it is viewed as a generic-conceptual approach to explore interactions and processes within systems (e.g., environmental resource systems), and between multiple systems (Harry and Factor 2017;Hülsmann and Jampani 2021).…”

“…The nexus approach has gained widespread traction in the last decade, albeit with a slow evidence base for SSA. The approach is premised on the fact that environmental resource systems and their related sectors are inherently interlinked (Lautze 2020;Hülsmann and Jampani 2021). Therefore, a more holistic approach which recognizes such links is required in the pursuit of sustainable development.…”

“…While bio-economic models present useful opportunities for countries in dire need of a transition, the governance mechanisms that shape this transition remain relatively less well understood. That is, how governance issues manifest in nexus thinking in the context of the bioeconomy, and the methodological approaches which have been employed so far to study these issues remain largely unconsolidated (Hülsmann and Jampani 2021;Kimengsi and Balgah 2021). This holds true for SSA-an environmental resource haven.…”

Nexus approach and environmental resource governance in Sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review

2022

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is replete with significant environmental resources including forests, water, land, and energy; although its transition to a bio-resource economy is yet to be actualized. Consequently, there are limited socio-economic gains from resource valorization. These challenges which stall progress towards the attainment of several interlinked sustainable development goals, are rooted, among others in resource governance defects. Furthermore, the persistence of knowledge fragmentation on resource governance shades possibilities for an in-depth theorizing of the nexus approach. In this light, two questions beg for answers: (i) To what extent are governance indicators captured in empirical studies on the nexus approach in SSA? (ii) What questions and approaches should inform future research on the nexus approach in SSA? To answer these questions, this paper systematically reviews 100 peer-reviewed articles (with 154 cases) that address governance questions in nexus studies within the broad framework of bioeconomy transitioning in SSA. Using the PROFOR analytical framework, our analysis reveals the following: (1) Although sub-regional variations exist in the application of nexus thinking, the overall emphasis in SSA is on first-level resource transformation. (2) With only 5% of studies explicitly mentioning the nexus approach, there is a strong indication for nexus thinking to be prioritized in future research. (3) While efficiency is the most recurrent in the literature (69%), its assurance in resource nexus and transformation is insignificant. (4) Interlinked questions of equity, participation, transparency, and conflict management have not been sufficiently addressed in studies on the nexus approach. The paper suggests an urgent need for in-depth, multi-country, and interdisciplinary research on these governance parameters in the nexus approach, as prerequisite to advancing the science–policy intercourse in nexus thinking in SSA.
