We examine the impact of multinational oil companies' (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) on gender equality for social equity using a combined propensity score matching and logit model. The result indicates a significant relationship between CSR and gender equality for social equity in...

This research analyses the relationship between efficiency, innovation and seasonality of the Spanish coasts for a five-year period (2015–2019). First of all, the nexus between the level of efficiency and changes in productivity, driven by improvements in innovation and/or efficiency, is...

Erosion and flooding are the most visible consequences of coastal zone degradation in West Africa. Man-made and natural processes, aggravated by the effects of climate change, cause erosion and flooding. These threatened densely populated coasts, the nerve center of the region's demographic and...

Worldwide, with different frequencies and magnitudes, coastlines are increasingly being affected by climate change hazards. The high urbanization rate, due to economic opportunities and natural amenities, further exacerbates vulnerabilities in these areas, requiring prompt and effective...

Climate change impacts in coastal areas (CA) have exposed coastal ecosystems to unprecedented conditions. System dynamic modelling (SD) has been used as a powerful tool to improve climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies. However, until now there are no review papers that summarize how...

Small island developing states and small tourism-dependent coastal states have been the most gravely impacted by global climate and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crises and are expected to face even greater economic and social challenges in the years to come. While information and...

As the World Bank and government of Bangladesh celebrate 50 years of development cooperation this year, a key highlight is the journey towards addressing climate change and improving the resilience of the coastal zone. From the outset, the World Bank has been a long-standing partner in the...

Inclusive and environmentally sound sustainable development re - quires managing natural resources that societies depend on for the long term. In the context of marine and coastal resources which pro - vide an important source of income for large numbers of households and revenue for countries,...

Inclusive and environmentally sound sustainable development requires managing natural resources that societies depend on for the long term. In the context of marine and coastal resources which provide an important source of income for large numbers of households and revenue for countries, this...

The problem of the study is to find out the extent of the Bureau ofFisheries and Aquatic Resources Livelihood Program and its relation toClimate Change in Southern Mindanao Coastal Areas. The descriptivesurvey and correlational methods was used. The respondents of this studywere 270 BFAR’s...

Ozonation of wastewater can reduce the release of organic micropollutants, but may result in the formation of undesirable by-products, such as bromate from bromide. Bromide is one of the most abundant ions in seawater, the primary precursor of bromate during ozonation, and the end product in...

Climate change is projected to cause brownification of some coastal seas due to increased runoff of terrestrially derived organic matter. We carried out a mesocosm experiment (15 d) to test the effect of this on the planktonic ecosystem. The experiment was set up in 2.2 m 3 bags using four...

Coastal eutrophication is a major issue worldwide, also affecting the Baltic Sea and its coastal waters. Coastal eutrophication management requires further understanding of the complex interlinkages between pressures (and their drivers), and states, impacts and management responses in the...

Marine plastic pollution is a global issue that has recently attracted the attention of the authorities, with new environmental goals because of calamitous consequences of the global economy, biodiversity, human health, and the climate. This issue harms marine organisms, ecological processes,...

The Coastal zone of Bangladesh is vulnerable to natural disasters, where the increasing climate vulnerabilities caused by global warming and sea-level rise along with continuous human interventions are making the situation alarming. Land cover change detection using different vegetation indices...

Estuaries and coastal seas play an important role in mitigating global warming due to their substantial storage of organic matters (OM) in sediments; and it is crucial to clarify the impact of relative sea level (RSL) changes on the efficiency and capacity of OM burial in coastal sediments in...

Coastal flooding, exacerbated by sea level rise, is a considerable economic threat to low-lying regions. I investigate whether investors account and insure for this hazard by exploiting the heterogeneity of country exposure to current and future coastal floods. Using sovereign credit default...

An intensive sampling program was conducted at two coastal sites of megacity Shanghai - the emerging town Lingang New Area (LGNA), and the chemical-industry zone Jinshan Area (JSA) from July, 2016 - June, 2017, to study the environmental behavior and fate of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic...

In this study, an interval two-stage fuzzy fractional programming (TFFP) method is developed to support collaborative governance of economy and water resources. Methods of interval programming, fuzzy programming, two-stage programming, and fractional programming are integrated within a general...

This study uses hedonic property models to explore how coastal real estate markets subject to heterogeneous information treatments respond to flood risk. We identify reactions to flood risk, distinctly from price effects due to flood damage, by examining non-local flooding events. Utilizing a...

The sea level has risen notably in recent decades compared to the most recent millennia. This poses serious threats to infrastructure, local jobs, environment and human population over the next century especially in coastal zones. In this paper, the most up-to-date understanding of the climate...

Despite of key functions as valuable global resources and essential ecological zones interconnecting terrestrial/freshwater and marine habitats, little is known on profiles of antibiotic resistance in coastal mudflats, which is of significance to understand the overall dissemination of...

With the increase in shipping density, the risk of wastewater generated by ships in coastal areas has raised much attention. The present study proposes a model to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of wastewater including greywater and sewage generated by ships in coastal areas. The model...

COVID-19 lockdown brought to a drastic reduction of anthropic impacts on the environment worldwide, including the marine-coastal system. Earth-Observation (EO) data have the potential to monitor and diagnose the effects of the lockdown in terms of water quality. Here we connect the dots among...

Coastal areas are commonly defined as the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Coastal areas are diverse in function and form, dynamic and do not lend themselves well to definition by strict spatial boundaries. Unlike watersheds, there are no exact...

The cost of environmental degradation (COED) report focuses on Georgia's coastal zone. Georgia's coastal zone is crucial to the national economy but has been affected by substantial environmental degradation. This report estimates the impact of degradation that occurred in 2017, as a result of...

We investigate geo-referenced household-level data consisting of up to 206,896 individuals living in 21,826 localities across 28 sub-Saharan African countries over 20 years. We analyse the relevance of coastal proximity as a predictor of individual economic living standards. Our setting allows...

This legal study has been developed as a part of the World Bank's work on 'Building Resilience in Pacific Atoll Island Countries' which aims to strengthen the capacity of selected Pacific atoll island countries to cope with the long-term adverse impacts of climate change and boost their...

The ocean is vital for life on earth and yet it is under serious threat from climate change and resource overexploitation. Environmental change in the ocean significantly undermines human livelihoods, especially in the developing and least developed countries where people are particularly...

Construction on low elevation coastal zones is risky for both residents and taxpayers who bail them out, especially when sea levels are rising. We study this construction using spatially disaggregated data on the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts. We document nine stylized facts, including a sizeable...
