Question 5

Steffan et al

Answer 5

2009
Concept of planetary boundaries alongside the antropocene

• climate change
• nitrous and phosphorous emissions
• biodiversity loss

To maintain Holocene conditions we would have to change our actions

Question 6

Steffan et al again said

Answer 6

2011
Concept of Anthropocene suggests we need to change our attitudes and actions

Currently driving systems to irreversible states

Approaches range from geoengineering to environmental stewardship

Question 7

Nadasdy said

Answer 7

2007

Social learning in adaptive management can be problematic
Notion of resilience reduces this
Focus on LT resilience rather than ST stability

Adaptive management is a return to traditional ecological knowledge

Problems:
Should resilience be considered the absolute good
AM implies current capitalist regimes should be maintained/ indigenous reject this view

Question 8

Antropocene is

Answer 8

New geological epoch

Earths systems shifting our political understanding of how we see the earth

Question 9

Panarchy

Answer 9

1999- formation of the Resilience alliance
Used to model interactions between social and ecological systems
Anti- hierarchy- emphasis cross scale interactions social learning
Sustainable development evquiv. Adaptive capacity
Earths system as a whole is not governed by one scale no scale dominated interactions between them

Question 10

What is the millennium ecosystem assessment

Answer 10

Largest scientific collaboration on state of earths systems in 2005

Approach of resilience to connect ecological models to existing institutions of sustainable development

Question 11

What does the MEA draw connections from

Answer 11

Human well being e.g health
To indirect driver e.g demographic and economy
To direct drivers e.g climate change and change in land use
To ESS e.g regulating and cultural

Question 12

Sustainable development model 1990

Answer 12

Premised on aligning many worlds on earth in order to avoid the potential for conflicts due to resource scarcity

Govs faces with a series of crisis that result in shifts away from planned responses to resource scarcity in favour of:
Creating new shared governance arrangements
Allowing markets to allocate scare goods

Question 13

Upshot

Answer 13

Using environmental security to become a way to organise a suite of concerns that individual combinations of scarcity and governance in numerous ways

Disease, pollution, conflict etc are all cases issues of security- depending on something already existing to be secured

Question 14

Best way if dealing with scarcity

Answer 14

Combine all sectors, coordinated management is better than working independently

Question 15

Idea of sectors suggest

Answer 15

Realise already all integrated

Network of sustainable key concepts

Question 16

Connection between sectors saw rise in insecurity lead to

Answer 16

An adaptive management way of thinking more resilient all come together in 2015 SDG

Question 17

What is the Antropocene

Answer 17

Entails a stratigraphic and functional change to the world and earths system

Creates dualism But many cultures don’t operate in this dualism so why should geology provide a better reason for doing away with dualism
