Natural powers: from the bio-economy to the eco-economy and sustainable place-making
Terry Marsden,Francesca Farioli +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that it is important to apply and connect a critical post normal sustainability science approach to developing the place-making properties of the eco-economy model, as well as examining the implications of the wider and more dominant bio-economic framing.

Identifying and Addressing Challenges Faced by Transdisciplinary Research Teams in Climate Change Research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a reflective account and analysis of their experiences during the first fifteen months of a transdisciplinary research project, following a participatory action research methodology, and make the following recommendations: emergent challenges require emergent strategies; funding should be more flexible to account for the nature of TDR research; TDR could be evaluated on the basis of its overall impact rather than on inflexible deliverables; academic publishing strategies must be incorporated into TDR projects; team development and co-location should be facilitated; and academic institutions should include performance and promotion criteria encouraging

Science for the post-normal age
TL;DR: In this article, a new type of science called post-normal science is proposed to cope with many uncertainties in policy issues of risk and the environment, which can provide a path to the democratization of science, and also a response to the current tendencies to post-modernity.
