This article examines the relationship between the adoption of digital technologies and the corporate commitment to environmental protection, while also exploring whether this relationship is strengthened by public financial support. Using a sample of 1,616 Spanish manufacturing firms and...

The research project "Cost allocation and incentive mechanisms for environmental, climate protection and resource conservation along global supply chains" (Project number 3722 14 101 0) commissioned by the German Environment Agency, analyses (dis)incentives for and barriers to the implementation...

The paper aims to analyze human development through its interactions with environ- mental protection, governance, and official development assistance (ODA) in develop- ing countries. This is done to allow the decision-makers of the latter to have an optimal approach to sustainable development...

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was born out of the need felt by newly emerging post-colonial nations not to be compelled to be part of any single political or military bloc during the Cold War. As the international community finds itself once again in the midst of heightened geo-political...

Biodiversity is influenced by the process of economic development, between the two there is a causal relationship - when development does not respect the environment, biodiversity experiences negative transformations. The EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, which derives from the 2030 Agenda for...

State decentralization is often promoted to improve public service delivery. However, its effects on forest conservation are ambiguous. Decentralization might not only improve local forest governance, but also change the incentives to promote agricultural expansion into forests. This study...

Objective: The objective of the article is to examine the eco-innovation performance of the EU countries measured by the Eco-Innovation Index and identify the key areas for improvement for the EU members with relatively low scores. Research Design & Methods: The research methods include the...

There is substantial literature on the determinants of renewable energy consumption. This growing interest is related to the fact that renewable energy is not only one of the main drivers of greenhouse gas mitigation but also its contribution to the achievement of other sustainable goals....

Governments across the globe are implementing stricter environmental policies to combat climate change and promote sustainability. This study contributes to the growing literature exploring the influence of environmental policy on skill-biased employment across various occupations. Specifically,...

Environmental regulations have been extensively studied in the context of advocating green development. As one of the most stringent laws in history, the new Environmental Protection Law (EPL) of 2015 has greatly affected the production and development of enterprises. In this context, and in the...

While climate change is widely considered as a major challenge for societies, another pressing global environmental problem, i.e. the loss of biodiversity, is often given less attention despite its strong negative consequences for ecosystems and thus for human life. In light of the strong...

The green transition is set to transform labour markets, yet its impact remains difficult to measure. This paper critically examines the occupational approach-based on task-based measures-which is the most widely used framework among researchers and institutions for estimating green employment....

Electric mobility and renewable energy play key roles in the global energy transition. In this context, vehicle- to-grid technology, which enables bidirectional energy ŕow between electric vehicles and the grid, could make electric vehicles usable as energy storage units, thus supporting grid...

This report aims to highlight opportunities for developing ecosystem-linked insurance - that is, insurance that integrates the effect of ecosystems in products covering coastal hazards. These products can provide funds for ecosystem restoration after a disaster occurs. This report points to...

Across Africa, rising populations and increased socioeconomic activity in coastal areas are resulting in increasing marine pollution. Rather than expand their Blue Economies, countries need to combat pollution in coastal and marine waters to mitigate the threats posed to biodiversity, ecosystem...

This paper examines greenwashing practices in environmental funds. We utilize a unique data set of US equity mutual fund holdings between 2012 and 2021 to calculate the funds’ carbon footprints. Using a difference-in-differences analysis, we find that, following their commitments to...
