Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and

Does Productivity Growth Promote Environmental Sustainability? The Role of Financial Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether total factor productivity (TFP) promotes environmental sustainability and examines the moderating and mediating roles of financial development in shaping this relationship. Using balanced panel data for 92 countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis employs dynamic two‐step Generalised Method of Moments (GMM ...
