Summary

Key questions (see key questions 1–3 of the Preamble)

Contributions from transdisciplinarity to environmental literacy

Q1 How can researchers or transdisciplinary groups define, investigate, and access environmental systems that are inextricably related to human systems?

Q2 What rationales and drivers do we find in different human systems? What drivers, dynamics, and interactions are perceived in environmental systems? How can the HES framework help to conceptualize and better understand interacting human and environmental systems?

Q3 How can we draw on the unique value of various disciplines to analyze HES in an interdisciplinary way? What is the role of transdisciplinary processes here?
