Online now: Networks of influence: Linking capitals and agency to understand actors’ roles in sustainability interventions

Networks of influence: Linking capitals and agency to understand actors’ roles in sustainability interventions

Understanding an actor’s influence in sustainability interventions, and thus their agency, is gaining attention in sustainability science. However, coherent approaches to characterize and analyze networks of influence remain scarce. We propose an actor-process network approach to assess five types of agency based on capitals: allocating human resources, enacting political relevance, influencing financial flows, providing physical goods and assets, and steering social-ecological discourse. Our approach can contribute to discussions on how to distribute roles and responsibilities between diverse actors involved in sustainability transformations.

Today we celebrate the incredible variety of life on Earth — from tiny soil microbes to majestic forests. Biodiversity is not just beautiful; it’s essential for clean air, fertile soil, and healthy ecosystems. 📷Ayushi, M.Erhardt, A-C.Wicht, J.Hailer, H.Winter, A.Parreno, H.Kellner, G.LeProvost

To all the people out there (and boy are there lots at the moment) trying to politicise the destruction of ecosystems: caring for our environment isn’t an ideology, and shouldn’t be seen that way. It’s about quality of life. Like it or not, we depend on ecosystems for our survival and wellbeing.
