Facing Obsolescence: Component Repair and Collaboration in the Independent ICT Commercial Repair Sector

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repairs are becoming more difficult to perform due to multiple factors, including obsolescence, complexity of designs, technological change and lack of information and spare parts. This underlines a conflict between repair and technological designs driven by accumulation logics that require increasing growth rates.

The Strategic Logic of Biodiversity: Why Firms Invest in Nature‐Based Initiatives

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss poses profound strategic and operational challenges for firms, yet management research offers limited evidence on which organisational mechanisms effectively reduce corporate biodiversity impacts. This study introduces the Biodiversity Strategy Configuration Framework (BSCF) to enhance the understanding of firm‐level ...

Cost Behavior of Organic Versus Conventional Farms: Assessing Economic Resilience and the Ecological Dividend

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the cost behavior in organic versus conventional farming to assess economic resilience. Using Spanish FADN data (2015–2021), results show organic farms exhibit higher cost elasticity during output increases and lower elasticity during decreases.

Climate Transition and Labour Market Inequalities Among Low‐Skilled Workers: Risks, Exclusions, and Pathways to a Just Transition

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The uneven labour‐market consequences of climate transition are now well established; the unresolved question is how decarbonisation is converted into unequal worker trajectories and why policies framed as inclusive repeatedly reach workers unevenly. This critical narrative review, supported by systematic search procedures, synthesises a final
