Natural resources and their management form a critical interface between climate change and economic development as natural resources underpin economic development and play a significant role in greenhouse gas mitigation. The transition to carbon neutrality requires not only technological innovations but also institutional innovations of natural resource management. However, the motivation, effects, and efficiency of policy reforms and institutional change on the natural resource management are still poorly understood. This Special Issue, therefore, focuses on the socio-political and economic perspective of natural resource management, particularly in transition and developing countries, under the context of climate change. The SI aims to contribute to a better understanding of the policy reforms and institutional innovations of natural resources in the transition towards carbon neutrality.

Special issue information:
With accrued attention paid to climate change and sustainable development, the transition towards carbon neutrality has been put on the top of the policy agenda in many countries. Even with the difficulties in energy security and independence issues with extra pressures such as the Covid-19 pandemic and increasing inequality, developing countries, for example, India and Mexico, tried to seize the benefits of being “late movers” and made a firm commitment to achieving carbon neutrality (De La Peña et al., 2022). This transition also means the alteration of the current pathways of economic development and natural resource management. Natural resources and their management form a critical interface between climate change and economic development as natural resources underpin economic development and play a significant role in greenhouse gas mitigation. The transition and fast developing countries face a particular challenge as these countries are large carbon emitters, on the one hand, and their economies and well-being are severely threatened by climate change. On the other hand, they also need to balance the economic development and climate protection goals. Transition and developing countries are highly dependent on natural resources to support economic growth. Thus, they are not only facing the difficult task of reforming market-compatible institutions to convert natural resources to natural capital for economic growth (Beck, Laeven, 2006), but also confronting the pressing task of decoupling economic growth from the increase in carbon emissions (Wu et al., 2019).

To mitigate carbon emissions, policy reforms of natural resources both from the top-down and the bottom-up, appear in the transition and developing economies. As carbon neutrality is linked with carbon emissions and carbon removal, all the institutional change and policy reforms in natural resource management focus on either reducing carbon emissions or enhancing carbon sinks. To reduce carbon emissions, policy incentives or interventions in the process of natural resource development diverse from natural property right system (e.g., titling of land and forest), market-led regulation (e.g., payment for ecosystem services, carbon emissions trading, and development right transfer), and tax system (e.g., carbon tax), and subsidy system (e.g., subsidy on biomass-based energy). Reforms for improving carbon sinks are mainly provided in nature conservation restorations (e.g., the establishment of natural reserve areas, sloping land conversion program, REDD and REDD+) (Hoang et al., 2013). The process and efficiency of these institutional changes and policy reforms vary with different regions and spatial scales in different transition economies.

At the same time, natural resources, including land, grass, forest, waters, minerals, flowing resources such as geothermal energy, as well as biodiversity, interact with each other at different levels and spatial scales, adding the difficulty and complexity of synergies for natural resources in the quest for an economic transition toward carbon neutrality. This complexity requests comprehensive spatial planning to optimize the development of natural resources and sector distribution and calls for systematic approaches to harmonize the complex nexus of natural resources in the carbon cycling system, promoting the emergence of institutional innovations. Besides, the transition to carbon neutrality, involving technological innovation (e.g., carbon capture technology), also, more importantly, requires institutional innovations of natural resource management for reducing transaction cost and internalisation of external effects (Shan et al., 2021).

However, the dynamics and consequences of institutional changes for natural resources, the efficiency of policy reforms for natural resources, and how institutional innovation contributes to the economic transition towards carbon neutrality in transitional economies are still poorly understood.

This Special Issue, therefore, focuses on the sociopolitical and economic perspective of natural resource management in transition and developing countries under the context of climate change. The SI aims to contribute to a better understanding of the policy reforms and institutional innovations of natural resources in the transition towards carbon neutrality. The special issue welcomes paper submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
  • Impact of institutional changes on land-cover change and greenhouse gas emissions
  • The intended and unintended consequences of institutional changes on land-cover change and land degradation
  • Trade-offs and synergies between conservation and development in natural resources
  • Nexus and connections of natural resources (e.g., land and water) in carbon cycling system
  • The institutional innovation of natural resources management
  • The policy reforms in the green economy (e.g., circular economy and bioeconomy) in response to carbon neutrality
  • The relationship between technological innovation and institutional innovation and their role in carbon neutrality
  • Regional development, spatial heterogeneity, and efficiency of natural resource use concerning carbon neutrality
Policies and measurements in combating deforestation and forest degradation

Manuscript submission information:
A Virtual Special Issue (VSI) is an online-only grouping of Special Issue articles traditionally assigned to a single Special Issue. The articles in a VSI will be assigned a unique identifier and published in a regular journal issue. The unique identifier allows simultaneously adding the article to a VSI in ScienceDirect.com. Articles grouped together in a VSI retain their original citation details. A VSI speeds up the publication of individual articles as, unlike the publication process for conventional Special Issue articles, a VSI does not need to wait for the final article to be ready before publication.

A detailed submission guideline is available as “Guide for Authors” at: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/resources-conservation-and-recycling. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the online editorial system (https://www.editorialmanager.com/recycl). The authors must select “VSI:Nat. Resour. Mgmt” in the submission process.

Important Dates
  • Full paper submission deadline: September 1, 2022
  • Final decision notification: March 1, 2023
  • Publication: As soon as accepted (VSI)
