A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

From Proxies to System State: Defining Sustainability Management Against Symbolic Progress

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability in management is often measured through scores, ratings, and disclosure narratives that can reward symbolic progress while leaving underlying social‐ecological conditions unchanged. This perspective paper offers a definition of Sustainability Management as how organizations plan, organize, lead, and control (four management ...

Nitrogen Policy for Sustainable Agriculture in the US: Estimating Socially Optimal Application Rates and Economic Impacts

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) application creates negative externalities via nitrate (NO3−) leaching that threatens human health and the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas. This study determines socially optimal nitrogen application rates (SONR) for corn and wheat by considering the social costs of both pollutants. The assessment includes

Enabling Sustainability in Local Food Supply Chains: A Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to escalating environmental and food security challenges, this study explores how Local Food Systems (LFS) and Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) can be redesigned to support sustainability goals. Drawing on a case study of a microalgae‐based food producer, the research applies a Resource Nexus Approach combined with Life Cycle ...

Escaping the Regional Carbon Trap: The Role of Renewable Energy Innovation in EU Decarbonisation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The persistence of carbon‐intensive development pathways continues to hinder progress towards climate neutrality, especially in regions where industrial legacies, infrastructural inertia, and institutional rigidities reinforce emissions.

Climate Change and Corporate Governance: Are Board Characteristics and Carbon Footprint Reporting Moderated by CEO Influence?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research investigates how board characteristics such as the number of women directors and the tenure of board members affect carbon footprint reporting and the moderating role that CEO influence plays in such relationships. Applying stakeholder and legitimacy theories, the analysis furthers a comprehensive view of how internal governance ...

Application of Circular Economy Principles to Power Generation: Extending the Life of A Hydropower Plant by Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The application of circular economy, which aims to maximize efficiency and reduce waste, to renewable energy sources necessitates, given the intermittent nature of the latter, robust energy storage solutions to ensure grid stability and avoid wasting energy.
