“…While the basic impulse of evolutionary policy making is powerful, limited resources to support alternative experiments, and the urgency of solving current problems, may oblige governments to commit today, rather than waiting for 'selection' to work its magic. Moreover, it should never be forgotten that the selection environment is not objectively given, but made and remade by the interventions of many actors, including government itself (Stahel 2005). This has led some to refer to such approaches as 'quasi-evolutionary' policy designs (Rip 1992;Schot 1992;Smith et al 2005).…”

For indicators to assess a society’s sustainability it is necessary that the understanding of what type of sustainability one wishes to measure is clear. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that solid waste management indicators, used in city sustainability assessments, do not represent the concept of strong sustainability. To test the hypothesis, the article initially identifies the perspectives of solid waste management from the strong sustainability’s point of view, under Ecological Economy perspective. The hypothesis was tested in thirteen sustainability assessment tools, covering approximately 400 cities. Two, out of five perspectives identified, had indicators selected represent them. Only one system presented three perspectives, and eight presented two. To represent the theme’s complexity, all perspectives should be considered, so the hypothesis formulated was accepted.

“…Vörösmarty et al , 2000; Acosta‐Michlik et al , 2008), impact of climate warming (Liverman, 1992) and extreme climate events (Patt et al , 2010) on H–E systems in arid zones, and the economic consequences of warming on food security (Nordhaus and Boyer, 2000). Stahel (2005) reasons that the economic and ecological value of ecosystem goods and services (Figure 2 and related text) must be assessed within a particular spatiotemporal context, which is recognized as an important aspect of a desertification monitoring programme (see Sommer et al , 2011; Verstraete et al , 2011).…”

“…In a review of paradigms of ecological economics, Stahel (2005) notes that when considering interactions between human (H) and natural (E) systems, (i) ‘we have to enlarge the scope of economic evaluation procedures assuming not only unpredictability, incomplete control and a plurality of legitimate perspectives … ( but also ) … dynamic and changing conditions’ and (ii) ‘that any economic system is an emergent complex system’. This perspective is consistent with the principles of the DDP framework, which considers H–E system as complex adaptive systems.…”

Scientific concepts for an integrated analysis of desertification

The Global Drylands Observing System proposed in this issue should reduce the huge uncertainty about the extent of desertification and the rate at which it is changing, and provide valuable information to scientists, planners and policy-makers. However, it needs careful design if information outputs are to be scientifically credible and salient to the needs of people living in dry areas. Its design would benefit from a robust, integrated scientific framework like the Dryland Development Paradigm to guide/inform the development of an integrated global monitoring and assessment programme (both directly and indirectly via the use of modelling). Various types of dryland system models (e.g. environmental, socioeconomic, land-use cover change, and agent-based) could provide insights into how to combine the plethora of monitoring information gathered on key socioeconomic and biophysical indicators to develop integrated assessment models. This paper shows how insights from models can help in selecting and integrating indicators, interpreting synthetic trends, incorporating cross-scalar processes, representing spatio-temporal variation, and evaluating uncertainty. Planners could use this integrated global monitoring and assessment programme to help implement effective policies to address the global problem of desertification.
