1. Description ;coder name;Add your full name here;Please use format of first name followed by last name;
;ID;Number each individual vision ;To be assigned by core coders in section 3;
;Date of Entry;Shared to communal spreadsheet;;
;Vision name;Name of the vision, assign one if not present in the text (and make it clear that you assigned it and not the authors);A paper could have multiple visions. Each vision should have their own name and be coded separately. If categories are not specific to each vision (e.g. all the visions occur in the same UN region), code each one separately, since they need to be standalone units of analysis. Information will be lost when we filter out some visions, if you do not complete, as best you can, all the coding in each cell.;

;Positive visions;Is this vision about a desired and sustainable future for nature and people  (Yes, no) ;We are only coding positive visions in terms of reducing the impacts of drivers causing global environmental change to create a more sustainable world for nature and people. If we code this as no, then we do not need to continue coding beyond the description categories. Business as usual is not a positive vision that can transform the world to a desired sustainable future. Glossary definition: description of a desired future, which is values-based, usually qualitative, tends to hide risk, energizing and functions as trigger of voluntary change (and broadly related to nature or human-nature relations). The visions need to be explicit about the visions for the desired future. Identifying factors of importance, discourses or different perspectives of sustainable trjectories are not sufficient elaborations of a vision. ;
2. Content (what is the vision about);Main purpose;What is the main purpose(s) of the vision?;Code only if mentioned as one of the main purposes of the vision. Multiple main purposes is possible.;
;;Species ;Main purpose is to protect specific species ;
;;Ecosystems;Main purpose is to protect, restore, sustainably use or manage ecosystems;
;;Biological diversity;Main purpose is to halt decline of biological diversity or biodiversity. This has to be explicitly mentioned. We are not interpreting if the authors actually are taking this into account.;
;;Global sustainability;Main purpose is to improve the environmental sustainability for the whole planet, a societal goal that broadly aims for humans to safely co-exist on planet Earth over a long time. (Note: do not code the definition of sustainable development here, i.e. human needs should be within planetary boundaries;
;;NCP (nature's contribution to people);Main purpose is to improve nature's contribution to people/benefits to humans provided by the natural environment and from healthy ecosystem (see https://ipbes.net/glossary/natures-contributions-people;
;;Quality of Life;Main purpose is to enhance the quality of life of people  (code yes if the vision aim to improve any elements of QoL, e.g. well-being, freedom, security, etc.). See https://ipbes.net/glossary/good-quality-life;
;;Others (specify);Describe other purposes;
Not necessarily the main purpose;SDG's;Record the number of the sustainable development goal 1-17 mentioned;Code only if explicitly mentioning SDGs, otherwise NA. Does not have to be a main purpose;
;SDG targets;Record the target number mentioned;Code only if target number is explicitly mentioned, otherwise NA;

;Empowerment;Does the vision aim to empower people or specific societal groups (yes, no);Empowerment is to promote the self-actualization or influence of marginalized or vulnerable populations;"Schlosberg D. Defining environmental justice: theories, movements, and nature. Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press; 2007. Available: http://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/S9780191536717"
;ILK;Is Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) mentioned in the vision (yes or no);This knowledge is formed through direct dependence on local ecosystems, and observations and interpretations of change generated and passed down over many generations, and yet adapted and enriched over time. definition: https://ipbes.net/indigenous-local-knowledge;

;;overexploitation;Vision is about reducing overexploitation impacts;
;;invasive ;Vision is about reducing invasive impacts;
;;Others (specify);Describe other direct drivers that are reducing the impact ;
;;Combination (specify);Specify the combination of direct drivers;
;Indirect drivers;What are the indirect drivers triggering/influencing the change/shift to the desires future?;Definition: Human actions and decisions that affect nature diffusely by altering and influencing direct drivers as well as other indirect drivers. They do not physically impact nature or its contributions to people. Primary are main drivers causing change, secondary is mentioned but do not play a major role in changing the world to a more sustainable future.;"Source: IPBES Global Assessment Report (2019), in particular: Glossary (definition indirect driver), Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.3.1, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.1.6 (description/contents of indirect drivers).

;;Economic;"Structural transition (i.e., shifts across economic sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services); concentrated production (i.e., shifts in output shares for big actors); trade; and financial flows.";
;;Governance;"Efforts by private actors within supply chains; community governance; state governance (from local to national scales); global governance (coordination among states). Interactions between these forms. ";
