Analysis of greenhouse gas emissions in electricity systems using time-varying carbon intensity
Khan, Imran; Jack, Michael W; Stephenson, JanetGreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity generation are generally assessed using a yearly average carbon intensity (in carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per unit of energy). This masks the variability of emissions ... -
Beyond consultation: Getting good outcomes for everyone in cross-cultural resource consent practice
Kanawa, Lisa; Stephenson, Janet; O'Brien, MargWhen the Resource Management Act (RMA) was introduced in 1991 it brought in new requirements for the consideration of Māori knowledge and values. Nearly 20 years on, consultation with Māori has become a normal part of the ... -
Biocultural conservation of marine ecosystems: Examples from New Zealand and Canada
Stephenson, Janet; Berkes, Fikret; Turner, Nancy; Dick, JonathanPlace-specific knowledge systems, combined with hands-on resource use and a long-term commitment to sustaining resources and ecosystems, are vitally important in restoring the planet to health. This approach is already an ... -

Blundering Intruders: Extraneous Impacts on Two Indigenous Food Systems
Turner, Nancy; Berkes, Fikret; Stephenson, Janet; Dick, JonathanIndigenous communities commonly face a major impediment in their ongoing efforts to participate effectively in the stewardship and sustainable management of their traditional lands, waters and resources. Externally driven ... -
Communities and Climate Change cartoon
Stephenson, JanetSome low-lying communities in Aotearoa New Zealand are already being affected by increased flooding, coastal erosion and higher water levels. Over time, more communities will be affected and the impacts will worsen. But ... -
Communities and Climate Change” Vulnerability to rising seas and more frequent flooding
Stephenson, Janet; Orchiston, CarolineMany communities and iwi in coastal and flood-prone locations face an uncertain future because of climate change, with rising sea levels and a greater frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events. We do not yet have ... -
Community Development for Adaptation
Stephenson, Janet; Barber, Josh; Barth, Jule; Bond, Sophie; Diprose, Gradon; Heyd, Charlotta; Kirk, Nick; Laurie-Fendall, Rachael; Orchiston, Caroline; Saunders, Wendy; Simon, Katy; Thomas, Amanda; Vincent, NicolleMany of New Zealand’s urban settlements are likely to be impacted by climate-induced hazards such as coastal erosion, flooding and rising groundwater levels. Affected communities will face physical, social, financial and ... -
Conceptualizing transport transitions: Energy Cultures as an organizing framework
Stephenson, Janet; Hopkins, Debbie; Doering, AdamThe dominance of fossil fuel-powered transport systems presents a serious risk to human well-being and the natural environment. Transitioning to a low-carbon transport system requires changes to many dimensions of transport, ... -
Conflict in the Landscape: A Case Study of the Cultural Values Model
Stephenson, JanetIn some senses, landscapes are our heritage. They are touchstones of identity, defining who we are as a nation, as iwi and hapu and as communities. However, landscapes have become a battlefield as they are subjected to ... -
Cross‐cultural environmental research and management: Challenges and progress
Moller, Henrik; Stephenson, JanetThe Royal Society of New Zealand encouraged this Forum on cross-cultural environmental research and management following the publication of a special issue of the New Zealand Journal of Zoology in September 2009 called ... -
The Cultural Values Model: An integrated approach to values in landscapes
Stephenson, JanetCultural identity is strongly associated with the ways in which people interact with their landscapes. A few special landscapes may have ‘universal’ or ‘outstanding’ values, but almost all landscapes will be valued in ... -
Deep interventions for a sustainable transport future
Stephenson, Janet; Spector, Sam; Hopkins, Debbie; McCarthy, AlaricThe dominance of automobility is giving rise to unsustainable outcomes, not least of which is its contribution to climate change. At the same time, business-as-usual transport systems are entering a period of turbulence ... -
The Dimensional Landscape Model: Exploring Differences in Expressing and Locating Landscape Qualities
Stephenson, JanetLandscape quality assessments provide information for developers, decision-makers and designers as to what is significant about a given landscape. However, assessment methods that rely on disciplinary expertise can fail ... -

The energy cultures framework: Exploring the role of norms, practices and material culture in shaping energy behaviour in New Zealand
Stephenson, Janet; Barton, Barry; Carrington, Gerry; Doering, Adam; Ford, Rebecca; Hopkins, Debbie; Lawson, Rob; McCarthy, Alaric; Rees, David; Scott, Michelle; Thorsnes, Paul; Walton, Sara; Williams, John; Wooliscroft, BenThe energy cultures framework was developed in 2009 to support interdisciplinary investigation into energy behaviour in New Zealand. In this paper, we discuss the framework in light of 5 years of empirical application ... -
Energy Cultures: A framework for interdisciplinary research
Stephenson, Janet; Lawson, Rob; Carrington, Gerry; Barton, Barry; Thorsnes, PaulThe Energy Cultures framework aims to assist in understanding the factors that influence energy consumption behaviour, and to help identify opportunities for behaviour change. Building on a history of attempts to offer ...
