Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Linking Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Action in the Oil and Gas Value Chain

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops and tests a value‐chain framework to examine how climate‐related Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) commitments translate into governance actions, capability enhancements, and measurable reductions in total greenhouse gas emissions. We create a climate‐related SDG index encompassing SDGs 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13 and analyze data

Human Rights Economic Dividends: Estimating the Economic Effects of Preventing Discrimination

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economies embracing principles like nondiscrimination are presumed to reap significant rewards, while violations incur heavy costs. We call these benefits human rights economic dividends—the economic gains that arise when policymaking is guided by human rights principles.

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

Exclusion and Exposure: How Social Inequality and Marginalization Shape Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation in Rural Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change affects all individuals, regardless of wealth, social class, or religious background, though its impacts and adaptation strategies vary. While existing literature examines climate change adaptation based on farming categories, geographic regions, and cropping systems, limited research explores how social class shapes adaptation ...
