What Is the Role of Personas in Environmental Sustainability Studies? A Systematic Review of 36 Research Articles

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT User personas are important tools for user understanding in human‐computer interaction (HCI), and understanding how personas contribute to environmental sustainability across research and practice contexts is increasingly important. Our systematic review of 36 articles on persona research in environmental sustainability reveals four key ...

Regenerative agrivoltaics: Challenges and opportunities in Southern California’s Inland Empire region

Energy Nexus
“Regenerative agrivoltaics” involves the co-location of regenerative agriculture (RA) and solar development. While RA focuses on promoting environmental quality, such as soil health, biodiversity, and other ecosystem services, agrivoltaics is concerned ...

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Tracing Colonial Continuities: Internal Colonialism and Energy Transition in Sardinia

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Internal colonialism provides historical and structural conditions making current forms of energy extractivism possible. Processes through which earlier internal colonisation operated—territorial dispossession, racialised hierarchies, forced modernisation and the construction of internal ‘Others’—are reactivated today under the global ...

Should We Put Solar Panels in Rural Landscapes? Discrete Choice Modeling Reveals Preferences for Local Biodiversity and Community Benefits

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscapes provide a range of ecosystem services including food production, biodiversity conservation and recreational value. Increasingly, landscapes are also used to generate energy. While this is essential for achieving climate mitigation targets, it affects biodiversity and the appearance of rural landscapes, potentially leading to public ...

AVA‐MAPbI3 Cap‐and‐Root Islands on Mesoporous TiO2 Toward Neutral‐Color Semi‐Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells in Agrivoltaics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Photograph and scanning electron microscopy images of semi‐transparent AVA‐MAPbI3 cap‐and‐root islands in mesoporous TiO2. The spectrally neutral light transmitted by this architecture benefits agrivoltaic applications such as lettuce cultivation while maintaining a positive energy balance to meet annual greenhouse demands for lighting, irrigation, and

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure
