The dawn of solar photovoltaics: emergent political economies at the solar–agri–land nexus
No full textSolar power is the most rapidly growing energy source worldwide. Solar turn holds potential for a significant shift to renewable energy and swift reductions in carbon emissions. Yet, as a land- and resource-intensive activity, solar photovoltaics infrastructure can dispossess resource-dependent people, reduce habitats for the other-than-human, aggravate inequities, and further weaken democratic controls. Diversifying energy infrastructure requires a fuller understanding of new energy geographies—both real and imagined—constituted through the solar turn: the maturation of solar energy technologies paired with the logic of rapid scaling of low-carbon energy production in heterogeneous governance contexts. We approach solar rollout in relation to agricultural and more broadly land use developments both in terms of an argument linked to cross-sectoral transitions (nexus thinking) and as an analytical strategy to advance debates around green grabbing and political economy of land. This special feature sheds light on the emergent political economies, materiality, and governance processes at the solar–agri–land nexus. We highlight three insights—nexus governance across spatial scales, local expressions of political economy, and engaged research during global acceleration—to advance analysis and constructive deployment of renewable energy. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Japan KK 2025

Consensus statement on developmentally appropriate policy and practice for adolescents in foster care
No full textAdolescence is a period of important neurobiological, social and cognitive changes. Under optimal conditions, adolescents are supported by parents who allow autonomy seeking while maintaining involvement and a strong relationship with their adolescent. Pubertal and neurobiological changes, alterations in adolescents’ sleep cycles, and changes in adolescents’ relationships with parents, peers, and schools (e.g., transitions to middle or high school), as well as increases in risk-taking are but a few of the changes that provide challenges to healthy adolescent development. These are exacerbated for adolescents in foster care who often experience changes in caregivers and transitions between neighborhoods and schools. The foster care system often fails to support navigating developmental challenges successfully. This consensus statement on youth in foster care makes a case for a developmentally informed system of care. Although we avoid making specific policy and practice recommendations, we identify general areas where research can inform change. © 2025 Elsevier Lt
