Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

PIV analysis of flow structures around skewed spur dikes [PDF]

Spur dikes become to be recognized as hydraulic structures for environmental functions as well as for bank protection works. To predict and control flow, sediment transport and water quality exchange by using submerged spur-dike, it is necessary to ...

The EU Deforestation Regulation: Challenges, Opportunities and the Potential Impacts on the Producing Countries of Cocoa and Coffee

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a policy that prohibits access to the EU market for commodities that are linked to deforestation. We did a systematic review to understand perceived challenges, opportunities and potential impacts of the EUDR on producing countries of cocoa and coffee.

Scour Pit Characteristics and Safety Operation Index of Riprap Spur Dikes under Runoff and Tidal Current

The flow dynamics adjacent to spur dikes exhibit turbulence and complexity, often resulting in the formation of scouring pits in the riverbed nearby. In regions downstream characterized by robust riverbed mobility, the vulnerability of riprap spur dikes ...

Approximation in scour depth around spur dikes using novel hybrid ensemble data-driven model

Water Science and Technology
The scouring process near spur dikes poses a threat to riverbank stability, making it crucial for river engineering to accurately calculate the maximum scour depth. However, determining the maximum scour depth has been challenging due to the intricacy of

VISUALIZATION ANALYSIS OF FLOW STRUCTURES IN SUBMERGED SPUR DIKES

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2000
It is important to clarify three-dimensional flow structures and instantaneous vortex structures in order to understand the mechanism of sediment transport and water quality exchange in spur-dike regions. In this study, characteristics of organized vortex structures around the submerged spur dikes were investigated by using PIV method.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early
