Carbon Performance in Airlines: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Institutional and Firm‐Level Drivers

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air transport is one of the fastest‐growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet it remains one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. The sector's climate impact is amplified by two factors: the steady rise in passenger demand and the absence of commercially viable low‐carbon technologies for long‐haul flights.

Bridging the Gap Between Socio‐Political and Community Acceptance of Wind Energy: Policy Insights for Sustainable Energy Development

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind energy plays an important role in achieving energy transition and sustainable development goals, yet disparities between socio‐political and community acceptance continue to hinder project implementation. Understanding this gap is essential for designing more socially responsive wind energy policies.

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Optimizing Eco‐Industrial Park Site Selection for Circular Supply Chains: A Novel Hybrid Decision‐Making Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐Industrial Parks (EIPs) are critical infrastructure for transitioning to sustainable production and consumption patterns, enabling resource efficiency through industrial symbiosis. However, the success of these circular ecosystems depends heavily on strategic location planning that balances conflicting economic, environmental, and social ...

Non-responsiveness of conventional measures of road traffic noise to an urban truck restriction strategy

open access: yes, 2009
This study reports the acoustic results of heavy vehicle restrictions on an urban road corridor. It is not the traffic strategy itself that is the focus of this paper, but the insensitivity of conventional measures of road traffic noise to the resultant
