Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The governance of shared water systems requires collaboration across diverse stakeholders. In this study we advance the theoretical understanding of asymmetric collective action problems (CAPs) by reassessing the role of third‐party interventions and emphasizing the strategic importance of policy brokers and institutional venues.

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 ...

The Impact of Resource Endowment and Digital Transformation on the Efficiency of Energy Transition
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Resource endowment has a significant positive direct effect and a stronger spatial spillover effect on ETE, while digital transformation can improve local efficiency but has some negative spillover effects on neighboring regions. ABSTRACT In contemporary society, improving energy transition efficiency (ETE) has become a necessary measure to ensure the ...

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study assessed toxic metals in five dried marine fish species from Bangladesh. Although most metals were within safe limits, chromium (Cr) consistently exceeded FAO/WHO standards, especially at Kuakata Beach. The findings highlight localized contamination hotspots and species‐specific bioaccumulation, while risk assessment supports the safety and ...
