Description
The review corresponds to the IPBES transformative change assessment. The IPBES scoping document for the transformative change assessment describes that chapter 4 should address a range of constraints and challenges that arise within and between political, legal, technological, physical (e.g., infrastructure), economic/financial and other social systems and the functioning of ecosystems, and how these challenges could be overcome. The chapter provides evidence on challenges associated with political, social and economic inequalities, among and within countries. In this context, a review of various dimensions of colonial modernity based on expert knowledge and searches was conducted and is further described below.
