Transdisciplinarity: Between mainstreaming and marginalization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify main features of an emerging shared framework of transdisciplinarity and propose a conceptual model of trans-discipline that can be used by science and science policy to characterize different types of trans discipline and their corresponding demands on integration.

Nature-based solutions to address global societal challenges
TL;DR: A definitional framework for NbS is proposed, including a set of general principles for any N bS intervention, and the scope of NBS is defined as an umbrella concept embracing a number of different ecosystem-based approaches.

The New Production of Knowledge: The Dynamics of Science and Research in Contemporary Societies
TL;DR: The authors argued that the ways in which knowledge is produced are undergoing fundamental changes at the end of the twentieth century and that these changes mark a distinct shift into a new mode of knowledge production which is replacing or reforming established institutions, disciplines, practices and policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach to global sustainability in which they define planetary boundaries within which they expect that humanity can operate safely. But the proposed concept of "planetary boundaries" lays the groundwork for shifting our approach to governance and management, away from the essentially sectoral analyses of limits to growth aimed at minimizing negative externalities, toward the estimation of the safe space for human development.
