- Focus Issue: Innovation Pathways to Sustainability in MountainsPublication . Balsiger, Jörg; Zimmermann, Anne B.; Azevedo, João C.; Schmidt-Vogt, DietrichThis editorial examines the role of innovation in promoting sustainable development in mountainous regions. It critiques simplistic narratives that frame mountains primarily as sources of renewable energy or as areas needing to be relocated due to climate risks, arguing that such perspectives neglect regional diversity and the capacity for action of local actors. The authors propose a multidimensional understanding of innovation that includes technological, social, institutional, and knowledge-based practices rooted in local contexts. The issue brings together studies illustrating how community practices, circular economy strategies, participatory governance, and knowledge co-production can address environmental and socioeconomic challenges. Overall, mountainous regions are presented as important locations for experimentation and learning in transitions towards sustainability.
- Focus Issue: Woodland Resurgence and Sustainability in Mountains—Patterns, Drivers, and Social-Ecological ConsequencesPublication . Schmidt-Vogt, Dietrich; Azevedo, João C.; Grau, H. Ricardo; Nowreen, Sara; Portner, BrigitteIn recent decades, the resurgence of forests and other woodlands has become apparent in different regions of the world, challenging the perception of deforestation as the dominant land cover change pattern. Woodland resurgence has been particularly pronounced in mountain areas, where conditions limit the scope for agricultural mechanization and rural outmigration has favored land abandonment. In addition, many governmental and nongovernmental initiatives to promote forest management, restore forests, protect biodiversity, and conserve ecosystem services have focused on mountain areas.
