- The chapter elaborates on the sustainability and sustainable development concepts in relation to the ongoing conflicts on the use of natural resources. The deterioration of natural and biological resources and the climate challenge are related to the current paradigm of economic growth and The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by UN member states in 2015. Conflicts can be seen as opportunities for change as they open up a range of new options and demand innovations for transitions to sustainable alternatives. The ongoing environmental conflict on climate change, a conflict of lifestyle and overconsumption by the few, a conflict on where the different dimensions of equity, in space and over time, intergenerational equity, are at the conflict centre, could be our great opportunity to enter the transition towards a sustainable future. The span of this book is global with case studies from both Global North and South. The themes elaborated and discussed are exemplified in the case studies and have the ambition to represent the major environmental conflicts – although far from exhaustive. The overriding theme of this book, ‘Natural Resource Conflicts and Sustainable Development’, can be sub-divided into three themes: Theme one – human-environment relationship; Theme two – justice and equity dimensions; Theme three – conflict resolution/transformation and pathways towards sustainability

- Asymmetric natural resource conflicts between extractive industries and Indigenous groups often have devastating consequences for Indigenous peoples. Due to colonial societal structures, where Indigenous perspectives on land management are frequently trivialised or ignored in favour of extractivist ideologies, many Indigenous groups are struggling to maintain their lands. This chapter draws on two case studies to compare situations of conflicts connected to natural resource exploitation, experienced by Laevas reindeer herding Sami community in northern Sweden and Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners in South Australia. The chapter builds on my PhD research where I introduced the concept of extractive violence as a complement to Galtung's violence triangle. Through building an analysis on concepts including connection to country, asymmetric conflict and extractive violence, deeper understandings of conflicts between extractive industries and Indigenous communities can be created. The chapter concludes that in order to achieve conflict transformation and address the violent structures many Indigenous groups are subjected to, the asymmetric power relations must be altered through the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives.

- The dependence on the global food system both in the Global North and Global South, has a profound impact on people’s dietary pattern and health – and creates immediate vulnerability and unpredictability related to food security. With growing insight into the consequences of the global food system for the environment, many cities in the Global North have implemented local/regional food strategies, food charters and other food system-related policies in an attempt to improve urban food security and encourage sustainable food system activities. Such activities include, for example, climate and ecosystem-friendly production methods, minimising the transportation of commodities in favour of food production located closer to consumers, and food systems driven by local participation and community actions. There seems to be connection between several of the proposed food system activities and Transition Movement actions (IPBES, 2018). Could the development of a sustainable food system catalyse transitions towards sustainability? In order to explore this question, the aim of this chapter is to analyse the link between sustainable food systems and pathways towards sustainability transitions. The chapter elaborates on how the sustainable food system relates to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and identifies eight aspects for such systems. Those dimensions/aspects agree well with the activities characteristic of the Transition Movements pathway towards a sustainable future.
