About the book:
This Element develops a new Strategic Capabilities Framework for studying and steering complex socio-ecological systems. It is driven by the central question of what are the most essential capabilities that ought to be fostered for addressing the fundamental 21st Century environmental challenges and Earth system transformations. The author’s objective is to innovate transformative ideas toward better climate and ocean governance that are of interest both to academics and policymakers in the field. Rather than investigating the design and effectiveness of institutions in governing the climate and the oceans, the authors offer an alternative approach starting from the assumption that global governance arrangements must be informed by the capabilities of the communities affected. This Element aims to offer out-of-the-box thinking about capabilities-focused and community-centered frameworks that align multi-level systems of governance with the fundamental challenges of global environmental change. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Cristina Yumie Aoki Inoue: “To learn how to listen to other human and more than human voices“ is my current aim in Earth System Governance research. I am interested in questions of justice, transformative change and relational approaches to politics. I am working on two projects, one about transformative governance and sociobiodiversity chains in the Amazon, and the other about intersectionality and biodiversity conservation. I have a PhD in Sustainable Development from the University of Brasília. Currently, I am an associate professor at Radboud University and a senior research fellow at the University of Brasília.
