The sustainable governance of water resources relies on processes of multi-stakeholder collaborations and interactions that facilitate knowledge co-creation and social learning. Governance systems are often fragmented, forming a barrier to adequately addressing the myriad of challenges affecting water resources, including climate change, increased urbanized populations, and pollution. Transitions towards sustainable water governance will likely require innovative learning partnerships between public, private, and civil society stakeholders. It is essential that such partnerships involve vertical and horizontal communication of ideas and knowledge, and an enabling and democratic environment characterized by informal and open discourse. There is increasing interest in learning-based transitions. Thus far, much scholarly thinking and, to a lesser degree, empirical research has gone into understanding the potential impact of social learning on multi-stakeholder settings. The question of whether such learning can be supported by forms of serious gaming has hardly been asked. This Special Issue critically explores the potential of serious games to support multi-stakeholder social learning and collaborations in the context of water governance. Serious games may involve simulations of real-world events and processes and are challenge players to solve contemporary societal problems; they, therefore, have a purpose beyond entertainment. They offer a largely untapped potential to support social learning and collaboration by facilitating access to and the exchange of knowledge and information, enhancing stakeholder interactions, empowering a wider audience to participate in decision making, and providing opportunities to test and analyze the outcomes of policies and management solutions. Little is known about how game-based approaches can be used in the context of collaborative water governance to maximize their potential for social learning. While several studies have reported examples of serious games, there is comparably less research about how to assess the impacts of serious games on social learning and transformative change.

We are at the beginning of the sustainability era. The biggest challenge of our generation is to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. For this we must be willing to understand and change the root causes that create these challenges in the first place. The system itself needs to change. But how to do that? This ground-breaking book Changing the Game reveals the missing insights and strategies to actually achieve system change. The authors Lucas Simons and André Nijhof bring decades of real life and academic experience, and state that most of the sustainability challenges are actually caused by the same system failures, every time. Therefore, the way to accelerate and manage system change is also similar every time – if you know where to look and how to act. The theory of sustainable market transformation and system change is described in a compelling and easy to understand eight-step approach applied to eight different sectors. The authors, together with respected sector experts, describe the drivers, triggers and dominant thinking in each of these sectors as well as the strategies needed to move towards higher levels of sustainability. This book is highly accessible and engaging, and is perfect for use by professionals, leaders and students for understanding how to move markets to a more sustainable future.

North American professional sports teams have substantial economic and social leverage due to their sizeable revenue streams and captive audiences. However, these professional sports teams also have the potential to influence environmental behaviours through their environmental commitments. Fan engagement with green initiatives is largely possible because of the high degree of interest and fan loyalty that exists in Big Four sports. Professional sports teams are motivated to adopt environmental practices for various reasons. Eco-friendly actions can have monetary and strategic advantages for professional sports teams that justify the time, money and effort required to implement sustainable practices. The formation of the Green Sports Alliance in 2010 has led to a growing number of teams integrating sustainability into daily operations. Membership in the Green Sports Alliance is highly uneven, from entire leagues joining to only some team participation in other leagues. This suggests that environmental commitment among Big Four sports teams in North America varies by team. There is an opportunity to further explain why certain teams engage with the natural environment while others engage to a lesser degree. This study identifies the factors that influence environmental action amongst teams across the 'Big Four' professional sports teams: Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL) and the National Hockey League (NHL). The study considers both organizational (peer) and geographic (place) factors that may influence the level of environmental commitment amongst professional sports teams. This includes further analysis of: external influences, venue features, team characteristics, urban sustainability commitments, and metropolitan socioeconomic conditions. Recent studies suggest that teams actively communicate environmental initiatives via the Internet. Therefore, this study evaluates professional sports teams' environmental commitment on online platforms through qualitative content analyses of both official team websites and verified team Twitter accounts. It is assumed that all teams have similar capacity to communicate their environmental commitments and that their declarations are both complete and accurate. Using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA tests, bivariate (Pearson) correlations and multivariate regressions, the research finds that Green Sports Alliance membership, teams with greater average attendance, a smaller metropolitan area population, and host city with a climate action plan positively influence North American Big Four professional sports teams' commitment to the environment.

Trading information is an essential aspect of the negotiations that underpin planning practice across the globe. In this book, Alex Lord uses information economics to outline a way of thinking about these negotiations that places the strategies that actors in the planning game use at the heart of the debate. Dialogue between economics and planning theorists has been, until now, rare. Lord argues that information economics’ tool kit, game theory – including well-known examples such as the Prisoners’ Dilemma, the Stag Hunt game and Follow the Leader – offers an analytical framework ideally suited to unpacking planning processes. This use of game theory to understand how counterparties interact draws together two distinct bodies of literature: firstly the mainstream economics treatment of games in abstract form and, secondly, accounts of actual bargaining in planning practice from a host of international empirical studies. Providing a novel alternative to existing theories of planning, The Planning Game provides an explanation of how agencies interact in shaping the trajectory of development through the application of game theory to planning practice.
