Cover Story: Pro-sustainability policy and management interventions are commonly planned and implemented at sub-global levels: local, regional, or national. Decision makers need science-based mapping of possibilities, and an understanding of human and social values, to guide choices that are made within a context of broader policy objectives. They are confronted with an abundance of information—sustainability indicators, downscaled planetary boundaries, and appeals to cost–benefit logic and incentive-based policy instruments—but too little guidance on how to make sense of it all. Taking an integrative approach drawing upon the existing literature, challenging, clarifying, amending, and extending it with some new insights, I establish some principles for monitoring and targeting, and sketch some policy and management applications.
