The vulnerability of Central Africa’s estuarine population to forest degradation and coastal erosion

African Geographical Review
This study examines the impact of environmental degradation and coastal erosion on marginalized populations in Central Africa, with a focus on the Wouri estuary. Understanding these effects is crucial for vulnerable communities. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining geospatial analysis of coastal erosion with surveys of residents to ...

Climate Vulnerability and Sovereign ESG Performance: The Conditioning Roles of Adaptation Innovation, Institutional Quality and Robot Adoption

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of physical climate risk presents a critical question for global sustainability governance: does exposure to climate hazards strengthen or weaken a country's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance? This study investigates the relationship between climate vulnerability and country‐level ESG performance across

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Comprehensive Natural Environment and Landscape Signs in Coastal Settlement Hazard Assessment: Case of East Taiwan between the Coastal Mountain and the Pacific Ocean

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
In East Taiwan, coastal settlements are scattered and narrowly confined between the Coastal Mountain and the Pacific Ocean. These settlements are currently at risk as there is no room for retreat. Therefore, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive and
