     summary: The first is that anthropogenic climate change is already transforming climate and that these changes will continue—regionally and globally. Ecology, Economy and Society–the INSEE Journal 1 (1): 67–68, April 2018 CONVERSATIONS 1: Climate Change Editorial Note Jagdish Krishnaswamy  In 2017, too, intense rain events, especially in urban areas and the increasingly spatial and temporal variability of rainfall distribution brought into the limelight the issue of attribution of extreme weather events to climate change.

     summary: Climate change has been described as the archetypal ―wicked problem‖ — as one that ―does not lend itself to a solution‖ (Hulme 2009, 334, 359). In several ways, the phenomenon of climate change, in fact, reflects in an intense and unprecedented manner the socio-cultural (Hulme 2015) and moral (Gardiner 2006) dilemmas of the present.

     summary: This was subsequently linked to an increase in forest area and quality (29% responses in ESZ and 31% in EL) as the Karnataka Forest Department (KFD) is actively undertaking plantations and reclaiming encroached lands. The major reason for this shift in ESZ was the lack of gomalas (52% responses) (Figure 2), which have reduced in both area and access, owing to diversion for agriculture, housing, etc, or even inclusion in forest areas.

     summary: As demonstrated in the earlier vignette from Rajasthan, agrarian change also intersects with the processes of urbanization, industrialization, and political conflicts over land and dispossession in contemporary India (Levien 2015). State attempts to regulate or intervene in markets—whether in the form of fertilizer subsidies, export and import tariffs, krishi mandis (farmer markets), or rural employment schemes—are driven by the agrarian political economy, global market forces, as well as a range of economic ideologies.

     summary: It follows that disclosure of such information through labels, along with energy costs information, influences households’ decision to make energy- efficient investments. In other words, the difference between the initial price (immediate costs) of efficient and less efficient/inefficient products is weighed more heavily than the difference in future energy operating costs (delayed benefits).

Chennai floods (2015); heat waves in Andhra Pradesh (2015) and extreme heat in Phalodi, Rajasthan (2016) ─ two of these cases, Chennai and Phalodi, showed that counterfactual (or non-manmade changes) were the cause of climate change as opposed to factual (or anthropogenic or man-made changes).

Therefore, research on these cases is crucial to identify the characteristics and transformation of environmental movements in the current atmosphere, where the extractive sector grows day by day and the violence against environmental defenders by law enforcement forces and corporations has been increasing.

According to the authors, it is important to think about how climate change uncertainty is understood from “above”, as experts, policymakers, and scientists are those who frame climate change policy decisions and aid decision-making on funding priorities (29).

     summary: Based on an in-depth analysis of local disaster capitalism in Rudrayani Guthi, Nepal, the findings of this study demonstrate that Indigenous peoples have been negatively affected by state-sponsored disaster recovery schemes, whereas wealthy people and businesses have benefitted from them. The paper concludes by offering some principles used by Indigenous peoples while countering local disaster capitalism through confrontations with powerful actors and while protecting their land during the process of disaster recovery.

     summary: While these programmes have been attempted on a pilot basis, there are barriers to scaling, especially in alluvial aquifer systems, which pose specific problems. We argue that the characteristics of groundwater resources, the socioeconomic attributes of uses and users, and the rules governing use framed by existing institutions and agrarian policies are the distinguishing features to be considered in building solutions for alluvial aquifers.

     summary: Farmers who do not have nistar rights constantly struggle and negotiate with other farmers to get tank water, even if they have a permit from the irrigation department to access tank water for irrigation. For example, in Bolde village, where the WMC head is actively encouraging tank water management, irrigation, and water distribution, WMC record-keeping is up to date.

     summary: Climate change is the pre- eminent challenge of this century, and its intersection with economy, society, and nature is amplifying the baseline risks that are commonly factored into decision-making. The Sixth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2022) clearly states that around 3.3 billion to 3.6 billion people live in countries that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with hotspots in the Arctic, Central and South America, Small Island Developing States (SIDS), South Asia, and much of Sub-Saharan Africa.

     summary: Therefore, the distribution and persistence of tropical grasslands in Southeast Asia are loosely understood to be related to climatic conditions, human activity, and edaphic features (Pletcher, Staver, and Schwartz 2022), which makes it difficult to assign a singular determinant to these formations. Based on the factors that govern their persistence, tropical grasslands are broadly categorized into two types: “derived” and “natural” (Gibson 2009).

     summary: To begin with, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the arm of the United Nations that steers the global conservation agenda, has become an increasingly neoliberal institution—it has marginalized concerns regarding the impacts of capitalism and, instead, has promoted market-based tools for conservation and sought partnerships with a range of industries including mining corporations (MacDonald 2010). Now more than ever, nature conservation is not just about saving biodiversity—it is a domain marked by economic, political, and social contestation.

      flesch: 53
     summary: Where embankment breaches are common, damage is likely to increase as climate change induces larger floods, and lock-in and path dependence increase risk. Lock-ins produce inflexibility in decision-making, which, we argue, reduces the region’s adaptive capacity given both current circumstances and future climatic conditions that may produce larger floods.

As part of the Paris Agreement, 162 voluntary non- binding pledges were submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); these were from 189 countries and accounted for about 98 per cent of global GHG emissions.

The book makes critical contributions by including the historical precedents to mining in India, e.g., current policy and governance dimensions (which continue to be founded on the legacy of British colonial governance), and sociocultural dimensions particular to India (the “primitive accumulation” of land and resources founded on the ever-present caste system of India).

     summary: In the best-case scenario, sustainable development has meant that each event is justified by a narrow cost–benefit analysis of its specific social and ecological impact within a limited lifecycle, and new plantations may or may not compensate for the loss of long-established biodiverse ground cover. This fragmented approach to sustainable development leaves us unprepared for heat pockets in the summer, floods and cloud bursts in the monsoon, and smog and poor urban air quality in the winter, until the retreating monsoon brings our attention back to urban floods in the southern states.

     summary: The 2006 report of the expert group set up by the Planning Commission on Integrated Energy Policy (IEP) notes that extractable coal reserves in India will be exhausted in 35–40 years if coal consumption keeps growing, and, in the long term, India will have to shift to renewable resources such as wind and solar energy (Parikh et al. 2006). The appliance labelling programme, under which appliances are rated with one (least efficient) to [23] Kirit S. Parikh five stars (most efficient) depending on their energy efficiency, has the potential to reduce energy consumption by 13–40% by 2030 (Parikh and Parikh 2016).

     summary: Within such a scientific framework, species conservation can be defined as promotion of the ‘rights’ of wild species, thus embracing the issue of compassion at some level. Such faith-based assumptions include the idea that wild species are not impacted by the increase in human population density, which is accompanied by the doubling of life expectancy; reduction in poverty; and the consequent, rising demand for more animal protein, water, sanitation, and healthcare.

     summary: Shibani Ghosh, in the following chapter, while laying out the various laws and rules that guarantee procedural rights—the right to information, the right to public participation, and the right to access to justice—argues that these procedural environmental rights are on ―firmer legal foundations‖ (103) than substantive environmental rights in India. Interestingly, Lavanya Rajamani‘s essay observes how the ―precautionary principle‖ has not come of age in environmental law in India, due to the courts‘ balancing of environmental concerns with those of ―sustainable development‖.

     summary: Drawing on their own research experience and expertise, Rusca and Baldassarre (2019) demonstrate the multiple ways in which different natural science and social science water research frameworks can converge and become compatible and complementary to each other. Reflecting on the significance of ―reciprocal learning‖ for water researchers, Evers et al. (2017) have conceptualized a ―pluralistic water research‖ approach that is ―integrative and interdisciplinary‖ and which aims to ―coherently and comprehensively integrate human-water dimensions‖. The South Asian water scene is huge and diverse, leading to the exploration and analysis of complex problems using natural science and social science approaches, such as socio-hydrology, environmental history, and political ecology (including hydrosocial studies).3

Once considered tanks, they transformed in the public imagination into lakes: ecological and recreational spaces, rather than being water reservoirs for irrigation.

In this paper, we elaborate on a new theoretical framework for the environmental geography of rivers with the objective of rethinking existing practices of river management. It emphasizes human–environment relations and the concept of ―milieu‖. It particularly captures the role of lived experience in river–human relationships, by accounting for the emotions and interpretations that link people to rivers both collectively and individually.

     summary: Urban planners in India continue to adopt western ideas centred on dense urban cores to facilitate transport and provision of other public services, accompanied tree planting (CNBC Sustainable Energy 2020). Stalwarts like Paul Krugman came to the defence, extolling the other virtues of urban density in New York (Krugman 2020), while influencers like Joel Kotkin highlighted how the urban sprawl in Los Angeles (Kotkin 2020) helped flatten the curve.

     summary: [114] The first eight verses propound Nadkarni’s core philosophy: human beings are decidedly the most evolved of all species on earth; and have developed unprecedented powers to modify the environment; and, therefore, have the greatest responsibility towards its protection. Nadkarni’s latest book Parisaranītiśatakam (or ‘Hundred Verses on Environmental Ethics’) continues this innovative tradition by composing 113 verses in both Sanskrit and English to propound the basic principles of environmental thought.

Among the regional societies for ecological economics, the ESEE is often seen as the one most closely sticking to the original heterodox roots of ecological economics.

For example, if the wealthy northern Italian province of Lombardy had allowed its public- funded hospital system to retreat, which led to a higher incidence of COVID-19 deaths, Britain’s well-built National Health Service, one of the largest and best state-funded healthcare provision system in the world, also failed miserably in dealing with the deadly virus.

     summary: And finally, by highlighting histories of urban production, urban political ecology can not only help to assert non-property claims on urban space in terms that still carry some legitimacy (such as customary or grandfathered rights), but can also draw attention to the value of the investments and stocks built up over time in these incremental productions. Urban ecology, then, is not only an account of the interface between the city and its natures; it is about the co-production of urban nature and society or, in Swyngedouw’s (1996) formulation, the production of  Madras Institute of Development Studies, 79, Second Main Road, Gandhinagar, Adyar, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India 600 020; karen.coelho@gmail.com Copyright © Coelho 2018.

     summary: This e- flows study is remarkable for its special emphasis on the social-cultural, religious, and livelihood importance of this river – cultural bathing rituals during Kumbh events cannot be performed unless river flows are sufficient and water levels adequate. The concept of environmental flows (e-flows) has emerged as a scientific resource and policy framework to protect or restore the freshwater regimes that sustain aquatic ecosystems and the ecological services they provide to society.

     summary: While efforts are being made by the institution to reduce conflicts, encroachments still exist and the regeneration rate of forest resources is also comparatively low. In Cheetarawas, in spite of the high incidence of conflicts and low regeneration rate of forest products, there has been a significant improvement in the availability of forest resources, since the VFPMC was formed, thus providing benefits to communities, particularly buffering them from losses in agriculture and livestock production.

Although the need for robust, inexpensive, accessible community-based health services across India, and indeed across the world, is self-evident, commons research has played a relatively small role in shaping debates on public health so far.

     summary: This first issue of the second volume of Ecology, Economy and Society continues the tone set up by the first volume that focused on humanity’s predicament to reconcile economic development with the need to foster environmental sustainability and achieve equity and social justice in the use of commons. The special section on ecological conflicts further highlights the inadequacy of existing institutions to address environmental justice to the detriment of both the environment and society.

     summary: We utilized data from this preliminary cross-sectional study i) to explore the impacts of socio-cultural and socio-ecological factors, and ii) to examine the impact of demographic and lifestyle factors on traditional food choices and eating practices. Yet, there are multiple research gaps; most research related to food beliefs and behaviours in India focus on the nutritional content of traditional food choices rather than exploring the socio-cultural belief systems attached to them (Tirodkar et al. 2011).

     summary: At the same time, conservationists stress the fact that the loss of species diversity is accelerating and a large number of protected areas notified by national governments continue to remain “paper parks”, whose actual contribution to biodiversity conservation has been significantly below expectations (Gaston, Jackson, Cantú-Salazar, and Cruz-Piñón 2008; Since the late 1990s, an important new debate on exclusionary versus mixed-use landscapes has emerged from ecologists studying the links between agricultural expansion and biodiversity conservation, especially in the context of growing global demand for food (Adams 2012; McLaughlin 2011).

     summary: PJ area is influenced by livestock numbers through an increased spread rate due to livestock acting as vectors in Banni; and, livestock numbers depend on PJ area as with increased PJ invasion, area available for grass growth comes down, thereby reducing biomass production, which leads to fodder deficit - named as such in our model - impacting livestock numbers. Furthermore, as explained earlier on, our model is tightly coupled, and any change in PJ area due to livestock numbers reflects in the next time step on the livestock numbers through profitability and fodder deficit (causing livestock stress sale or migration).

Our search for a stewardship economy, as we propose here, leads us to suggest the need for “stewardship dividend”, which would make up the difference between market-based income and the total income a steward needs to pursue their duty of care toward essential [9] Ravi Prabhu non-commodified products and services and simultaneously achieve equitable welfare outcomes.

     summary: Tourism activities in earmarked indigenous spaces such as Little Andaman as well as the Nicobar group of islands are likely to be problematic in this regard because past studies have shown (Anderson et al. 2015; Venkateswar 2004) that a sudden exposure to ‘mainstreaming’ policies as well as an influx of outsiders has a debilitating effect on the well- being of traditional societies and the natural resources their lives are closely connected to. “Islands in peril: develop and perish?”

     summary: The findings of an extensive survey carried out in the states of Gujarat and West Bengal, which captures their intrinsic agro-climatic and socio-cultural diversities, is presented to understand the role of women in agriculture and in maintaining household food security. Women’s increased labour participation in agriculture and allied sectors in Gujarat is mainly due to the major role played by women in the dairy industry.

     summary: (iii) Biodiversity utilization should be integrated with sustainable development goals and there should be holistic action plans involving the youth, women and citizen scientists to popularise the need for biodiversity conservation for sustainable development. (iv) As the governments have already announced adoption of the concept of sustainable development in planning process, the concept of biodiversity and related livelihoods should be flagged as the central principle of all developmental processes. (v) Considering the fact that habitat degradation is one of the primary reasons for biodiversity loss, spatial planning using GIS technology is recommended to prioritise land use for developmental and conservation planning and to demarcate areas rich in indigenous biodiversity including that of the agro-biodiversity. Its plan, called the 2020 Strategic Plan of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), aims to address the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, reduce the pressures on biodiversity, safeguard biodiversity at all levels, and to enhance the benefits provided by biodiversity.

     summary: Other alternative systems include crop diversification, agroecology, climate-smart agriculture, conservation agriculture, regenerative agriculture, and several more. Ravi Prabhu argues that approaches that follow the principles of agroecology and regenerative agriculture are viable alternatives to industrial agriculture, but incentive-based approaches still depend heavily on the commodification of nature.

     summary: A LANDMARK LAW The idea of the FRA emerged originally to redress the problem of unsettled cultivation and habitation rights of forest-dwellers in improperly notified RFs and PFs, by allowing them to claim ‗individual forest rights‘ (now section 3(1)(a)). At the same time, the FRA requires that such community forest management meet sustainability and conservation goals—a requirement that even the IFA and the so-called Forest Conservation Act, 1980 do not have!

Early colonial accounts of the Oraon, in fact, did not classify the Oraons as “tribal”; rather, they saw them and the other Adivasi groups of Chhota Nagpur as a stratified agricultural society, albeit one that went beyond the “civilized” Aryan pale.

     summary: Following several field and experimental trials, however, soyabean cultivation found a new life, and interest in it surged after it was promoted as a cash crop that could be processed into cattle feed (de-oiled cake – DOC) and edible oil. Chapters four and five go on to further scrutinize the notion of productivity and how to meaningfully make sense of the phenomenon of soyabean cultivation.

     summary: For example, the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) generally imposes uncompensated land-use regulation based on the presence of animal species identified (“listed”) as endangered, and such regulation (whether as land-use restrictions or liability for mitigation) tends to make it self-defeating for anyone to conserve or actively maintain habitat for existing populations of declining animal species on private land (Langpap, Kerkvliet, and Shogren 2018, 77–78). At least in the USA, some conservation laws can indeed prohibit management essential to the survival of species.

     summary: In our fieldwork in Myanmar‟s rural fishery communities, we came across unexpectedly universal gendered behaviour such as women being chatty and wanting someone to listen to their issues and at the same time unexpectedly contradicting gendered behaviour by being the most mobile at the same time associated with home. LEARNING THE COMPLEXITY OF GENDER RESEARCH As is often concluded in gender research and observed in rural fishery communities, women are associated with “home” and “being chatty”, thus often making them responsible for house chores and raising children as well as selling their products (Resurreccion 2006).

     summary: Although gender equality and gender equity are now ‘mainstreamed’, in reality many gender-focused researchers in agriculture are relatively isolated and have few opportunities to challenge and extend their thinking and practice. Whilst rural transformation may be occurring due to outmigration of particular groups, improved infrastructure, increased access to public services, and new opportunities both in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, gender relations both influence these processes of rural transformation and are changed by them.

     summary: Ecosystems integrate these processes into a biogeochemical cycle by abstracting the exergy of inflowing solar energy and outflowing heat energy from the earth’s depths to build gravitational and chemical potential energies in the form of landscapes and biomass. The efficiency () with which heat energy can be transformed to work is equal to {1 – (T0 / TH)}, which is always less than 100%, even in a slowly transforming reversible process, because, when flowing down a thermal gradient with concomitant cooling, a part of it (= Q0) cannot produce any work when it reaches equilibrium with the surrounding air at T0.

     summary: If the government is serious about ensuring the welfare of people in mining areas and securing their rights, it must improve mechanisms of giving clearances, management of environmental pollution and preservation of natural resources, with which the lives and livelihoods of these people are intricately related. Such initiation may avoid indefinite delay in acquiring clearances for land acquisition, forest, environment, wildlife, ecology etc., in implementing mining projects.

     summary: Water concentration in domesticated rice field systems varies between 2.8–12 cm, but in wild rice field systems, it varies between 10–70 cm due to higher rainfall during monsoon seasons. Keywords: Far-from-equilibrium system; goal-function; rice field ecosystem; thermodynamic ecology 1. INTRODUCTION Ecosystems are complex, hierarchic, adaptive, and organized, as they are comprised of many components.

       words: 3985
      flesch: 46
     summary: In this work, to compare the linear and non-linear dependencies of vegetation on precipitation, soil moisture, and temperature, we compute pairwise normalized mutual information ( of daily datasets of soil moisture (SM), temperature (T), and precipitation (P) with gross primary productivity (GPP) to understand the association of hydrometeorological variables with vegetation productivity for the various above-discussed transitions of vegetation stress from May to September for our study region. During the monsoons, precipitation contributes to vegetation recovery from pre-monsoon stress through soil moisture recharge while inhibiting vegetation productivity by limiting the amount of radiation available for photosynthesis.

     summary: However, for all these benefits to accrue, mining must be made corruption free, well-regulated, transparent, and the generated revenues invested in growth enhancing avenues. Despite the strategic and commercial relevance of mining to countries, its long-term potential to support GDP growth is relatively small.

     summary: Put differently, since an overt nexus between neoliberalism and climate discourse had not yet crystallized in the 1980s, there must be other factors beyond neoliberalism that explain the ecological and social vulnerabilities in coastal Bangladesh. This quibble aside, both the books deserve high commendation— particularly as critiques of climate change adaptation strategies that have re- envisioned neoliberalism.

     summary: As mentioned by Ranjan (this issue) trade-offs arising from increasing mining activities need to be considered carefully. [114] Another alternative is to turn the clock back to the pre-2015 position and return to a situation where exploration is incentivized through the grant of mining lease rights, but where prospecting (and mining) concessions may be discretionary based on MoUs with industry, or an effort to promote the public sector.

     summary: As the policy acknowledges, “Natural resources, including minerals, are a shared inheritance where the state is the trustee on behalf of the people to ensure that future generations receive the benefit of inheritance” (section 1). Second, to ensure that the extraction work, itself an inheritance associated with the mineral deposit, is available to future generations.

      flesch: 48
     summary: Our research observed that policy on farm pond works and specifications related to size and other parameters varied across study states with MP and Karnataka pushing for these works with a vision for water harvesting for agriculture and ground water recharge, while in West Bengal its focus was to facilitate fish farming for home consumption and livelihoods. Officials in-charge of MGNREGA implementation across states championed for farm ponds works on private lands as these were labour intensive (over 90% of work expenditure was spent on labour/wage payments); hence helped to maintain the mandatory 60:40 labour to material ratio.4 For instance, in Karnataka cattle/goat sheds were popular works among the beneficiaries.

     summary: In South Sikkim, household access to drinking water can broadly be categorised into three types: (a) government-supplied piped water, (b) private arrangements for piped water, and (c) non-piped water supply or drawing water from the nearest water sources. In such households, often the responsibility of household water provision rests on the womenfolk, who make multiple trips to meet their household water needs.

     summary: Realizing that paddy lands are important ecological systems, the state of Kerala in southern India passed an act in 2008 preventing their conversion to other uses. However, the economic benefits associated with the conversion of paddy lands are considerably higher than the current subsidies and bonuses.

     summary: In the 1990s, social cost–benefit analyses increasingly included environmental factors in projects (Pearce 1998; Vanclay and Bronstein 1995; Quah and Tan 1999; Wattage et al. 2000; Crookes and de Wit 2002). The present value of social benefits and social costs have been calculated to arrive at the benefit–cost ratio and the NPV of the interventions based on the formulae given in Box 1.
