What Management Control Practices Do Electric Utilities Rely on When It Comes to Fostering the Social Pillar of Sustainability? A Comparative Analysis of the European Union and the United States

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electric utilities are expected to implement measures to improve their performance in all three dimensions of sustainable development—environmental, social, and economic. While several studies have investigated the environmental dimension, measures related to the social pillar have hardly been researched to date.

URBAN CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AND THE UNEVENNESS OF CITY NETWORKS: The Trajectory and Perspectives of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Chile

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Scholars have widely discussed integrating local administrations into climate governance networks, focusing on networks such as the Global Covenant of Mayors or C40, whose members are mostly in the European Union or countries of the global North and premium cities managed by engaged administrations. Relatively little is known about urban‐scale

HOUSING RETROFIT AND THE JUST TRANSITION IN THE METROPOLIS: Governance, Redistribution, and Inequality in London and Barcelona

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Metropolises are rapidly becoming spaces of stark inequalities. While much literature has emphasized the metropolitan scale as a driver of agglomeration economies, recent scholarship highlights either the ungovernable nature of large metropolises or the weak redistributive capacity of their governments as key causes of increasingly unequal ...

Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Muralismo como encargo participativo: Holografía de lo (in)visible en comunidades a’i cofán de la selva colombiana

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When mural art in indigenous communities is commissioned as a participatory project, several methodological, epistemological, and aesthetic questions arise. This text proposes a horizontal and investigative approach to what we can simply call ‘muralism in the A'i Cofán community context,’ not as significant works executed in communities, but ...

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...
