This open access book is a compilation of case studies that provide
useful knowledge and lessons that derive from on-the-ground
activities and contribute to policy recommendations, focusing on
the relevance of social-ecological production landscapes and
seascapes (SEPLS) to "transformative change." The concept of
"transformative change" has been gaining more attention to deal
with today's environmental and development problems, whereas both
policy and scientific communities have been increasingly calling
for transformative change toward sustainable society. The
Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has planned to start the so-called
"assessment on transformative change" if approved by the IPBES
plenary to be held in 2021. At present, the idea of transformative
change, including its scope, methodologies, approaches and
strategies, are yet to be clarified. By bringing together all of
the different concerns and interests in the land/seascape, SEPLS
approaches could provide practical and experience-based insights
for understanding and gauging transformative change and identifying
determinants of such change. This book explores how SEPLS
management relates to the idea of transformative change to further
the discussion of sustainable transitions in advancing
sustainability science. The introductory chapter is followed by
case study chapters offering real-world examples of transformative
change as well as a synthesis chapter clarifying the relevance of
the case study findings to policy and academic discussions. It will
be of interest to scholars, policymakers and professionals in the
fields related to sustainable development.
