- Alarming plastic production growth worldwide reinforces the public debate about the prevailing environmental crisis, whereby single-use-plastic (SUP) items are considered as by far the most harmful to the environment and public health. Accordingly, European environmental policy aims at eliminating SUP. Recently, we presented a model of plastic governance that derives from a circular economy approach identifying and taking into consideration perspectives of different actors in the plastic governance, such as producers, wholesalers, shop keepers, consumers, citizen scientists, and academia. Our results illustrate that the vast majority of stakeholders cared for the natural environment and understood the need to phase out SUP from the global economy. We proposed that a knowledge brokerage, undertaken by scientists via means of citizen science, as the most effective method to implement elimination policy, as it provides stakeholders with knowledge on why and how to handle SUP issues. However, at the time of the global COVID-19 pandemic, a plastic governance model required a re-assessment. The perceived role of SUP has changed, as it reflects the health emergency. Namely, due to the health safety reasons stakeholders and consumers are requesting even more SUP than previously. Following up on our data gathered prior to the pandemic, we suggest that under the new circumstances health concerns outweigh the environmental concerns being determined by a shift in the value hierarchization. The paper discusses preliminary results.

- Largescale nature conservation programs such as European ecological network Natura 2000 tend to fuel local conservation conflicts due to perceived unbalance between costs and benefits, lack of recognition and representation of residents in the decision-making process concerning policy implementation and management. This study considers Fraser's critical model of political justice to understand how residents construct N2000 justice and discuss the potential implications for the political framing of N2000 conflicts. The novelty of this approach lies in that it embraces various components within the three justice domains: distribution, recognition, representation, to shed light on N2000 conflicts and highligh justice as a way to legitimize N2000 policy.
