METHOD FOR ASSESSING COASTAL VULNERABILITY TO EROSION

This research project provided 1) a method to evaluate the Longshore sediment transport (LST), a crucial process that shapes the coastal environments, and 2) an index designed to assess the vulnerability of coastal areas to erosion at the beach scale. In the first study, I evaluated the predictive capacity of three widely used empirical formulas (CERC,

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

The Hidden Toll of the Climate Crisis: A Qualitative Systematic Review of the Mental Health Impacts of Flooding in Europe

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experiencing a flood has been shown to have a significant impact on people's mental health. However, the qualitative evidence exploring these experiences remains sparse and has not been systematically synthesised. This systematic review synthesised qualitative evidence of the impact of flooding on mental health among adults in Europe.

Urban Housing Markets and Sustainability Risk: Empirical Evidence From South African Cities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the global shift toward sustainability and rising expectations for socially and environmentally responsible housing, evidence from South Africa's urban markets remains limited and underexplored. This study examines how sustainability‐related vulnerabilities shape downside housing risk across 60 cities between 2002 and 2021.

Method for assessing the coastal vulnerability to erosion and flooding at the physiographic unit scale

, 2022
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change foresees a significant global sea-level rise (SLR) during the 21st century, which will cause an increase in coastal vulnerability (CV) to erosion and flooding. CV can be estimated at various scales, both in space (from national to local) and time (from tens to hundreds of years).

How Climate Change Shapes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Performance in the MENA Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change, political stability, and sustainability are three central factors that interact and serve as key drivers of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Accordingly, this paper aims to fill a vital research gap by examining the impacts of climate change, natural resource ...

Climate‐Resilient Agri‐Food Systems (CRAFS): A Review of Approaches and Outcomes of Agri‐Food Systems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly destabilizing agri‐food systems globally, with complex disruptions extending across production, distribution, and consumption. In response, climate‐resilient agri‐food system (CRAFS) approaches have gained prominence as a means to sustain food security under escalating climatic stressors.

Living Through a Changing Climate: Stress, Trauma, and Gendered Resilience Among Women in Coastal and Northern Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping everyday life in Ghana through coastal erosion, flooding, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, extreme heat, and agricultural insecurity. This study examines how these changes produce stress, trauma, and gendered resilience among women in Salakope and Choggu Yapalsi, two climate‐vulnerable communities in coastal and ...

Bridging Efficiency Gaps in Rice Production: A Primal System Analysis of Technical and Allocative Constraints in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...
