We investigate how reforestation contributed to stabilization of riverine water levels in South Korea. For the purpose, we estimate an equation capturing dynamic relationships among rainfall, upstream-area tree stock, and downstream water levels in three river systems of Hongcheon, Mangyeong,...

This study has as main objective the assessment of the sustainability of the Brazilian energy sector compared to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, in an attempt to contributing to the requirements as stated by the Roadmap for the OECD Accession of...

Soil provides multiple benefits for human well-being that are largely invisible to most beneficiaries. Here, we present the results of a discrete choice experiment on the preferences of Germans for soil-based ecosystem services. In an attempt to reduce complexity for respondents, we express...

Intelligent manufacturing offers opportunities for green technology innovation at a low cost, helps eliminate outdated equipment, and improves pollution efficiency, which is essential for environmental protection. From the perspective of the industrial sector, based on the data of 269 Chinese...

We estimate real estate's exposure in Chile to five weather risks, including labor productivity loss due to heat, fires, floods, drought coastal deterioration as measured by the Chilean Climatic Risk Atlas (ARCLIM) and Climate Impact Explorer (CIE) sources. According to our joint ARCLIM-CIE...

Without reliable seasonal climate forecasts, farmers and managers in other weather-sensitive sectors might adopt practices that are optimal for recent climate conditions. To demonstrate this principle, crop simulation models driven by a dense meteorological network were used to identify...

Voluntary and private sustainability standards (VSS) are increasing its importance to manage value chain production: they are required by large multinational networks (mainly retailers) from their suppliers to optimize logistics and harmonize product characteristics; have been recognized as...

We study potential impacts of future climate change on U.S. agricultural productivity using county‐level yield and weather data from 1950 to 2015. To account for adaptation of production to different weather conditions, it is crucial to allow for both spatial and temporal variation in the...

While green bonds are becoming increasingly popular in the corporate finance practice, little is known about their implications and effectiveness in terms of issuers' environmental engagement. Using matched bond-issuer data, we test whether green bond issues are associated to a reduction in...
