TL;DR: The socioeconomic impacts of environmental stresses associated with global environmental change depend to a large extent on how societies organize themselves as discussed by the authors, and that governance issues need to become central objects of empirically based, detailed, multiscalar and action-oriented research, and this needs to address the politically sensitive and seemingly intractable issue of reducing global inequities in power and resource distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a systems framework for exploring adaptation pathways to climate change among people in remote and marginalized regions, and tested the potential of the framework to assist dialogue about adaptation pathways in remote marginalized communities.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a key component of planetary stewardship is a global system of cities that develop sustainable processes and policies in concert with its non-urban areas that increase their capacity to effect change and foster stewardship at the planetary scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework to understand the contribution of ecosystem services to poverty alleviation, synthesizing insights from existing frameworks in social-ecological systems science and international development.
