Social-ecological resilience and biosphere-based sustainability science (2016, background): “3) and that the increase in scale and spread of the human dimension and the connectivity and speed of the globalized world now shapes the biosphere and our own future in profound ways (Daly and Cobb 1989, Costanza 1991, Folke 1991, Perrings et al. 1992, Folke et al. 2011, Steffen et al. 2015a).”
A relational turn for sustainability science? Relational thinking, leverage points and transformations (2020, background): “…systems perspectives have begun to locate many sustainability challenges in a collective human failure to cognitively recognize our inextricable material connections with the world around us, arguing that we need to ‘reconnect’ to the biosphere (Folke et al. 2011) or nature (Ives et al. 2018).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “…interest in ecotourism, for instance, connects recreation to farm practices through the desire of an increasingly urban population to make an emotional connection to the environment (Folke et al. 2011), sometimes referred to as “biophilia”, an intense interest in caring for the biological world.”
The Anthropocene: From Global Change to Planetary Stewardship (2011, background): “Such societies are locked into obsolete values hindering, for example, the transition to new values supporting a reconnection to the biosphere (Folke et al. 2011).”
Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing: Moving Forward (2014, background): “Many scientists argue that the disconnection of people from nature is a root cause of biodiversity decline, and that reconnecting people and nature therefore should be an important societal goal (Miller 2005; Folke et al. 2011).”
Rewiring food systems to enhance human health and biosphere stewardship (2017, background): “Humanity relies upon the biosphere to provide resilient life-support systems that foster societal development and human wellbeing [1].”
Uncovering Ecosystem Service Bundles through Social Preferences (2012, background): “This might happen because dominating worldviews in urban societies have cognitively disconnected their human well-being from lifesupporting environments, perceiving ecosystems as external factors to urban people [41], places for enjoying silence [42], aesthetics, and recreational activities [36].”
A holistic view of marine regime shifts (2015, background): “In this new era of the Anthropocene [32], where human actions shape the biosphere not only locally but also globally [33], global social and ecological interconnections can propagate and cascade across countries and regions [34–36], shaping marine ecosystems and their resilience worldwide.”
Dancing the Supply Chain: Toward Transformative Supply Chain Management (2021, background): “They describe the mutual impact of adaptive cycles on one another, which influences overall dynamics (Allen et al., 2014; Folke et al., 2011).”
Ecosystem services assessment: A review under an ecological-economic and systems perspective (2014, background): “Socio-economic systems are also open systems embedded n and dependent on the ecological life support system (Costanza t al., 1993; Folke et al., 2011).”
Mapping social–ecological systems: Identifying ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ dynamics based on characteristic bundles of ecosystem service use (2015, background): “As communities become richer and more urban, they tend to disengage from the direct procurement of provisioning ES and cover their basic needs by buying these services, which may have been produced in faraway systems (Cumming et al., 2014; Folke et al., 1997; Folke et al., 2011; Grimm et al., 2008).”
