Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

Risk assessment using IEUBK model for the Naica mine tailings
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Mexico has a long history of mineral extraction, during which limited environmental regulations allowed the accumulation of toxic waste near communities, primarily in rural or undeveloped areas. Some of these toxic substances, such as lead, pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly children aged 0 to 7 years.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Earthquake‐induced damage of structures can trigger cascading hazards, linking structural performance to nonstructural consequences. In current engineering practice, these two aspects are typically addressed separately, limiting the ability to account for such coupled effects in design.

Climate Driven Water Table Changes and Their Influence on Liquefaction Response of Integral Bridges
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate bearings and joints but transfer seismic demand directly into the surrounding soil, making their response highly sensitive to groundwater conditions and soil–structure interaction. This study presents a 60 g centrifuge testing programme on single‐span IABs designed to isolate the influence of water ...

Reinterpreting the Local Context in Development Projects Through the Lens of Positive Thinking
New Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasing complexity of the international development cooperation system necessitates the strengthening of the evaluative function as a means of facilitating learning. Despite the growing global focus on these issues, evaluation practices within the field of development often appear to struggle in serving as an effective tool for drawing ...

Learning From and Through Evaluation: An Examination of Practice
New Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this article, we provide an analysis across the foregoing practice‐based case exemplars to understand antecedent conditions and influences, learning‐oriented evaluation strategies, estimates of strategy success or potential success, and factors that either enable or hinder the extent to which learning from and through evaluation occurs. The
