Summary: Collaborative governance structures are becoming more common among natural resource managers, but the role of leadership in joint-jurisdictional systems has been given little attention. Using the case of endangered Atlantic salmon managed under the Endangered Species Act, this study found that leadership approaches had an influence on program efficacy, member buy-in, and experience. The study revealed that shared goals, transparency, and trust were major leadership themes that participants found lacking.

Summary: This article systematically reviews the literature on deliberation in marine and coastal governance systems, finding an uneven spatial distribution of studies between the global north and global south. Most case studies use deliberation to develop recommendations related to participatory governance, and researchers actively participate in solving real-world problems through the creation of deliberation processes. The findings suggest that deliberation processes can provide a framework to enhance participatory governance/management and science-policy integration.

Summary: This study finds that increasing public participation and collaboration is essential for improving environmental governance outcomes. By analyzing 305 individual cases of public environmental decision-making across 22 Western democracies, the study identifies three design features of participation - communication intensity, power delegation, and stakeholder representation - that impact environmental governance outputs. The study also highlights the importance of participants' environmental stance as a predictor of outcomes.

Summary: This paper discusses the role and responsibility of business organizations in a sustainability transition with the hypothetical construct of the cuvee organization. It tests the concept's applicability to everyday challenges organizations aiming for sustainability face, such as discounting. Through participatory backcasting and the use of metaphor, the concept of the cuvee organization, designed to serve prosocial causes, emerges. This research fills the normative vision with details and showcases the importance of organizational structure in supporting better decision making.

Summary: The analysis explores the dynamic of resource access with a focus on charcoal production and trade in Ghana, revealing the significance of property rights in benefiting from charcoal and the involvement of both customary and statutory institutions in regulating access. The government's attempt to formalize the charcoal sector may lead to adverse effects such as elite capture, exclusion of vulnerable groups, criminalization of livelihoods, and loss of rights, suggesting the need for a careful approach to avoid negative consequences for low-income households.

Summary: Delivering the best care in various clinical settings is a challenging problem. Evidence-based guidelines currently address only a fraction of the care provided by clinicians, especially in underserved areas. The use of validated clinical decision support systems (eActions) could help overcome cognitive limitations in advanced healthcare environments.

Summary: In order to achieve the quintuple aim in healthcare, it is necessary to design, develop, implement, use, and evaluate high-quality, patient-centered clinical decision support (PC CDS). We developed a PC CDS lifecycle framework to create a common understanding and language for communication among researchers, patients, clinicians, and policymakers. The framework emphasizes the involvement of patients and their caregivers in all stages of the process.
