Resources, Conservation and Recycling: To preserve and restore water ecosystems, China has implemented increasingly stringent emissions standards (Weak, Moderate, and Ambitious) for wastewater treatment plants and constructed wetlands (CWs) are an effective means of improving tailwater standards.
Sustainability Science: This study underscored the importance of harmonising local initiatives with global sustainability objectives and can inspire local governance to champion resilience policies that harmoniously integrate local actions with global sustainability goals, adapting to evolving uncertainty scenarios.
Landscape Ecology: Supply of freshwater to the world’s cities is increasingly affected by human pressures and climate change. Understanding the effects of human pressures and climate change on global urban water scarcity and quality risks in an integrated way is important.
Ecological Economics: Using a multi-regional input-output model and cropland limits of agri-food consumption and production, we identified specific countries and commodity supply chains that contribute to the exceedance of production-based cropland limits of producer countries (both domestic and via trade).
GigaScience: Spatial information about the location and suitability of areas for native plant and animal species under different climate futures is an important input to land use and conservation planning and management.
Journal of Environmental Management: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China must be upgraded to meet new discharge standards, but this incurs both economic and environmental costs and benefits.

Socio- Ecological Practice Research: In June 2019, Prof Brett Bryan attended the 1st Socio-Ecological Practice Research Conference held in Shanghai, China where he was apart of a workshop on the theory-practice gap (TPG). The goal of this workshop was to characterize the TPG and identify practical recommendations for minimizing it.

Modelling Transitions shows what computational, formal and data-driven approaches can and could mean for sustainability transitions research, presenting the state-of-the-art and exploring what lies beyond.
Australia is slipping down the global sustainability rankings. Allen et al. show that it could improve if it wanted to but full SDG achievement will be tough.
This requires a transition towards robust model-based inferences which are effective despite uncertainties of human and climate driven change.
