Presumptive Coverage Policies and Workers’ Compensation of Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Mental Health Conditions: A Retrospective Time‐Series Study in Canada 2001–2019

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The impact of presumptive coverage policies for work‐related mental health disorders has not been extensively studied to date. Using data from the Association of Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC), our objectives were to describe the evolution of compensated mental health conditions, and to explore the association ...

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Transcending Parallel Play: Boundary Spanning for Collective Action in Wildfire Management

Fire, 2021
A key challenge in the United States is how to manage wildfire risk across boundaries and scales, as roles, responsibilities, and ability to act are distributed among actors in ways that do not always incentivize collective action.

Fueling the fires – An exploration of the drivers and the scope for management of European wildfire risk under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

Climate Risk Management
As socio-natural phenomena, wildfires are exacerbated by climate change and socioeconomic dynamics. However, the role of socioeconomic uncertainty in shaping future wildfire risk and management remains largely neglected.

Back to Nature or Technology to the Rescue? Climate Managers' Preferences for Investment in Carbon Dioxide Removal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...

Wildfire risk as a socioecological pathology

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2016
Wildfire risk in temperate forests has become a nearly intractable problem that can be characterized as a socioecological “pathology”: that is, a set of complex and problematic interactions among social and ecological systems across multiple spatial and temporal scales.

The link between perceived and actual wildfire danger: An economic and spatial analysis study in Colorado (USA) [PDF]

, 2007
Over the last 20 years, costs for wildfire initial attack in the U.S. have increased significantly. The increased cost relates to wildfire suppression practices as well as the growing number of wildland urban interface (WUI) homes.

Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Credit Risk in Banking: A Global Study of Bank Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between board gender diversity and environmental credit risk in the global banking sector. Using a panel dataset of 345 publicly listed banks from 75 countries over the period 2018–2022, we find that greater female representation on bank boards is significantly associated with lower environmental credit
