Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Greening the Bottom Line: Public Funding for Circular Economy Initiatives and Financial Stability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public funding for circular economy (CE) initiatives plays a crucial role in shaping corporate financial performance, yet its effects remain underexplored. Grounded in the resource‐based view (RBV) of the firm, this study investigates the financial impact of CE funding on private firms, using Portugal as a case study. It analyses the financial

A new approach to assessment for young children referred by education professionals for socio‐emotional, behavioural, and cognitive difficulties

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Young children with emerging mental health problems and neurodevelopmental differences often do not receive the support they need early in life, and if they do receive support, it may not be appropriately targeted towards their individual needs.
