What is the effectiveness of tradeable permits and taxes, how can they deal with tradeoffs over time, and especially how are they compatible with the need for economic growth among the poorer nations who are, at the same time, contributing to the problems? What is the scope for directed technological change? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/possible-policies-for-meeting-problems-climate-change/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/possible-policies-for-meeting-problems-climate-change/#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:41:47 +0000 KJarrow http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1280 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/possible-policies-for-meeting-problems-climate-change/feed/ 0 Is Passive Management Approach still practical for Managing Biodiversity in a Changing Climate within Least Developed Countries? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/passive-management-still-practical-for-managing-biodiversity-within-least-developed-countries/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/passive-management-still-practical-for-managing-biodiversity-within-least-developed-countries/#comments Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:42:27 +0000 elikana kalumanga http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1792 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/passive-management-still-practical-for-managing-biodiversity-within-least-developed-countries/feed/ 0 There are large disconnects between the world of scientific (including social-scientific) experts and the general public on subjects such as risk, vulnerability, and socio-ecological change. This presents challenges to generating the political change we need for embarking on more sustainable development pathways. In what ways does this disconnect affect the creation of appropriate policy, and how do we deal with it? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:14:12 +0000 kamalkapadia http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1659 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/feed/ 0 Do we have a policy for ensuring good sharing of future advances in computer modelling of complex systems – across all different areas including outside the climate change community? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/policy-for-ensuring-good-sharing-of-future-advances-in-computer-modelling/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/policy-for-ensuring-good-sharing-of-future-advances-in-computer-modelling/#comments Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:14:58 +0000 mick4recycle http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1650 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/policy-for-ensuring-good-sharing-of-future-advances-in-computer-modelling/feed/ 0 What are the most effective ways climate change and natural scientists can engage with politicians and natural resource managers to facilitate implementation of more ecosystem-based management approaches to natural resource use? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/best-way-engagement-btwn-scientists-politicians-resource-managers/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/best-way-engagement-btwn-scientists-politicians-resource-managers/#comments Mon, 03 Aug 2009 10:08:13 +0000 connernp http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1289 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/best-way-engagement-btwn-scientists-politicians-resource-managers/feed/ 0 How can the perceived imperative in market-economies for continuous open-ended economic growth, be reconciled with the need from a natural science perspective for the collective human impact on the biophysical Earth system to be stabilized or decreased in order to sustain human well-being indefinitely? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/imperative-economic-growth-reconciled-with-sustainable-human-wellbeing/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/imperative-economic-growth-reconciled-with-sustainable-human-wellbeing/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:26:25 +0000 Gifford http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1404 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/imperative-economic-growth-reconciled-with-sustainable-human-wellbeing/feed/ 0 How complex multifunctional landscapes will adapt to climate change: The role of science in identifying solutions to be implemented into planning and management. http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/how-complex-multifunctional-landscapes-will-adapt-to-climate-change/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/how-complex-multifunctional-landscapes-will-adapt-to-climate-change/#comments Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:26:11 +0000 Sluque http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1830 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/how-complex-multifunctional-landscapes-will-adapt-to-climate-change/feed/ 0 During the next decade, what are the minimum changes to global policy needed to ensure that negative impacts of anthropogenic environmental change on the majority of biodiversity, ecosystem function and services are still reversible? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/minimum-changes-next-decade-ensure-reversibility/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/minimum-changes-next-decade-ensure-reversibility/#comments Mon, 27 Jul 2009 08:33:25 +0000 s.g.potts@reading.ac.uk http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=993 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/minimum-changes-next-decade-ensure-reversibility/feed/ 0 How can we get the public to understand how to make BIG changes in carbon dioxide emissions? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/get-the-public-to-understand-how-to-make-big-changes/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/get-the-public-to-understand-how-to-make-big-changes/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:11:49 +0000 Gordon Geballe http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1078 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/07/get-the-public-to-understand-how-to-make-big-changes/feed/ 0 What are the roles of national and subnational states in environmental policy-making and enforcement, especially in the Global South, and how do international environmental treaties affect domestic environmental politics, including design and enforcement of domestic policy? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/roles-of-states-in-environmental-policy-making-enforcement/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/roles-of-states-in-environmental-policy-making-enforcement/#comments Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:27:55 +0000 bigsea224 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1465 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/roles-of-states-in-environmental-policy-making-enforcement/feed/ 0
