Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Perspectives on Climate Change in Education for Sustainability: Linking Concepts and Skills for a Practical Ecological Transition

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

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 ...
