Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Framing Effects on Public Support and Behavioral Responses to Sustainable Forest Management in South Korea

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite South Korea's extensive forest coverage, which accounts for approximately 63% of its total land area, the country imports over 83% of its timber needs and has shown a gradual decline in forest carbon sequestration capacity. The Circular Forest Management Policy (CFMP) addresses these challenges through systematic forest resource ...

AI‐driven circular economy optimization in waste management: A review of current evidence

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in waste management has the potential to significantly advance circular economy objectives by enhancing efficiency, reducing waste, and optimizing resource recovery. However, realising these benefits depends on addressing significant technical, economic, and systemic ...
