Summary
This chapter examines the vital yet complex relations of landscape stewardship to global sustainability. It refers directly to the 2016 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The goal of the chapter is to advance broad new understandings of landscape stewardship applicable to the SDGs and other global sustainability agendas. Without this broad-based understanding of landscape stewardship, the UN SDGs and other agendas risk remaining lofty lists that are encompassing and aspirational while they can resemble decades-old discredited international development discourses. The chapter begins by posing a pair of questions: how does landscape stewardship relate to and potentially became integrated with the broadly defined view of global sustainability agendas? And, how can the prospect of this integration become facilitated through the formulation of new proposed principles and integrated conceptual frameworks? Then it develops an original, highly interdisciplinary approach to landscape stewardship that is needed for critically informed, constructive, and practical engagements. In particular the chapter draws together the fields of the ethics of place with reference to social and territorial movements, landscape studies, social-ecological systems, stewardship, and the ecology of livelihoods. It argues that landscape stewardship must be understood through the lens of the large number and diversity of these landscape-related movements.
