Introduction
I am a solutions-oriented ecological economist and a graduate from the Australian National University. In my PhD thesis I addressed the structural causes of global environmental problems and how transformational change could be targeted to achieve global sustainability. My current research focuses on ecological macroeconomic modelling, targeted transformational change, post-growth, societal addiction to economic growth, societal progress indicators, and sufficiency solutions.

Green growth and post-growth are alternative concepts for transformative change. I investigated the amount of support each enjoys among sustainability scholars by performing a global expert survey (n = 461), in which scholars from around the world evaluated what future pathways they would prefer for different country income groups. Support for post...
To address the increasingly acute global environmental and social problems, transformational change is required to the prevailing socioeconomic systems. Some interpret this to mean that economic growth must become "green", while others question if "post-growth" approaches are needed instead. In this dissertation, I examine what future pathways sust...

The scientific community and many intergovernmental organizations are now calling for transformational change to the prevailing socioeconomic systems, to solve global environmental problems, and to achieve sustainable development. Leverage point frameworks that could facilitate such transformative system change have been created and are in use, but...
Protecting tropical forests from deforestation is important for mitigating both biodiversity loss and anthropogenic climate change. In Amazonia, a common approach to protected area (PA) impact studies has been to investigate differences among broad PA categories, such as strictly protected, sustainable use and indigenous areas, yet these may be ins...
Deforestation in Amazonia is a high priority issue as it is intimately connected to global environmental problems, such as biodiversity loss and climate change. Contemporary threat from deforestation is concentrated on deforestation fronts, and protected areas (PAs) are the main tool used to combat the threat. PAs are an important investment of tim...
Nokian kaupunki on teettänyt kolme aiempaa jäkäläkartoitusta. Nyt 20 vuotta edellisen tutkimuksen jälkeen jäkäläkartoitus toistettiin nykyisen ilmanlaadun arvioimiseksi. Suomen standardisoimisliitto SFS on määritellyt menetelmät, joilla ilmanlaatua voi luotettavasti kartoittaa kahtatoista männyn runkojäkälää hyödyntäen.
Ilmanlaatu on heikentynyt...
