Sammendrag
Climate change has considerably dominated
science-policy dialogue, public debate, and subsequently
environmental policies since the three ‘‘Rio Conventions’’
were born. This has led to practically independent courses
of action of climate change mitigation and biodiversity
conservation actions, neglecting potential conflicts among
outcomes and with missed opportunities for synergistic
measures. Transformative governance principles have been
proposed to overcome these limitations. Using a
transformative governance lens, we use the case of the
Norwegian ‘‘Climate Cure 2030’’ for the Land Use, LandUse Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector to, first,
illustrate the mechanisms that have led to the choice of
climate mitigation measures; second, to analyze the
potential consequences of these measures on biodiversity
and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; and, third, to
evaluate alternative measures with potential positive
outcomes for biodiversity and GHG emissions/removals.
We point to some mechanisms that could support the
implementation of these positive actions.
