Towards more effective nature-based climate solutions in global forests
No full textTerrestrial ecosystems could contribute to climate mitigation through nature-based climate solutions (NbCS), which aim to reduce ecosystem greenhouse gas emissions and/or increase ecosystem carbon storage. Forests have the largest potential for NbCS, aligned with broader sustainability benefits, but—unfortunately—a broad body of literature has revealed widespread problems in forest NbCS projects and protocols that undermine the climate mitigation of forest carbon credits and hamper efforts to reach global net zero. Therefore, there is a need to bring better science and policy to improve NbCS climate mitigation outcomes going forward. Here we synthesize challenges to crediting forest NbCS and offer guidance and key next steps to make improvements in the implementation of these strategies immediately and in the near-term. We structure our Perspective around four key components of rigorous forest NbCS, illuminating key science and policy considerations and providing solutions to improve rigour. Finally, we outline a ‘contribution approach’ to support rigorous forest NbCS that is an alternative funding mechanism that disallows compensation or offsetting claims. © Springer Nature Limited 2025
What Makes an Idea Big in Psychology?
No full textWe can all think of big ideas in the history of psychology that provoked tremendous excitement and generated abundant research for many years. But what makes an idea big? And what are the common features of the big ideas of the past 25 years in psychology? We examine these questions in this article, focusing on 5 ideas that have become big over the past 25 years. They show several common features, including rising citation levels each year for at least 10 years after publication; over 1000 citations per year by the 10th year; and a total of at least 5000 citations by the 10th year. We propose the addition of a 25-year Impact Factor, to identify ideas that become big and to recognize that one key feature of big ideas is that their citations per year continue to rise even 25 years after publication. We also ask who gets to have big ideas, locating the answers in a combination of national wealth, funding devoted to universities and research, and opportunities for talented young people to develop and express their abilities. Several suggestions for expanding access to these opportunities are presented. © The Author(s) 202

From the Great Recession to the Post-COVID 19 Pandemic U.S. Municipal Fiscal Condition: “Austerity Urbanism,” “Pragmatic Municipalism” and On-Going Explanatory Challenges
No full textHow much did the Great Recession change U.S. municipal budgetary and fiscal governance? According to an academic literature that subsequently emerged, the period saw a combination of both change and continuity. The work offered two distinct ways to explain and understand the emerging context: austerity urbanism and pragmatic municipalism. This paper reviews these explanations with the goal of showing how and why they developed contrasting conceptualizations. We argue differing epistemological approaches underpin the two competing approaches. Understanding these differences is, we argue, critical for moving forward. The COVID 19 pandemic saw another round of changes to U.S. municipal budgetary and fiscal governance, thus stimulating, we argue, the need for another round of conceptual development. However, an under-appreciation of the distinctions between austerity urbanism and pragmatic municipalism threatens to stymie this on-going, post-COVID 19 pandemic conceptualization. We review recent developments in the broader U.S. municipal fiscal governance literature to generate a set of guideposts for this much-needed work. © 2025 The Author(s).
