Results
The results of the analysis are presented in two ways: i) in a table
format which shows whether each paper explicitly addressed that
dimension; and ii) in-text where we provide examples of who was affected
and how, and what was proposed to address this.
Analysis of the papers revealed that a large range of equity issues were
explicitly recognised and considered across the papers, across all three
dimensions (Table 2). Outcome-based/distributive equity issues were the
most highly recognised, as were the decision-making-related components
of procedural equity. Regarding the context of each paper, there was a
substantial recognition of issues relating to the types of knowledge
used to address the challenges described (e.g. Western science or
Indigenous knowledge), as well as issues relating to agency. Often, the
equity problem was not explicitly stated within the papers, but rather
recognised through the action pathway identified to move towards a more
sustainable 2030. In other words, reducing inequity was interlinked with
improving sustainability. For this reason, most of the examples provided
in this synthesis will relate to the action pathways identified in the
papers.
