TL;DR: The argument that incommensurability and unification constrain the interdisciplinary dialogue, whereas pluralism drawing on core social scientific concepts would better facilitate integrated sustainability research is developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a research agenda that advances the methodological and theoretical understanding of what sustainability science can be, how it can be pursued and what it can contribute, and the key focus is on knowledge structuring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested two consequences of a currently influential theory based on the notion of seeing adaptations to climate change as local adjustments to deal with changing conditions within the constraints of the broader economic-social-political arrangements.

TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence that the personal strength of belief and perception of local effects of climate change, highly significantly explain human responses to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, a questionnaire was designed to elicit and assess the values assigned to expected effects of climate change by forest professionals and scientists working on forests and climate change in Europe, and the countries involved covered a north-to-south and west-toeast gradient across Europe, representing a wide range of bio-climatic conditions and a mix of economic-social-political structures.
