Our central hypothesis is that the exploitation of natural resources in a context of poor governance quality creates the ...
Thus, the main objective of this research is to fill this research gap by analyzing the spatial interaction effects of natural resource exploitation on the attractiveness of FDI in ECOWAS countries. Therefore, the dynamic Durbin Spatial Model (SDM) estimation method with a distance matrix was used...
Soil erosion, more emission of greenhouse gases, habitat loss, exploitation of natural resources, wastes, and pollution are all possible outcomes (Lee et al. 2020). Furthermore, many tourism-related activities necessitate a substantial amount of electricity produced by fossil fuels, e.g., coal, ...

Research context: climate partnerships as part of the Clean Development Mechanism Climate change is one of the ‘grand’ challenges that emerged from decades of over-exploitation of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases (George et al., 2016; Whiteman et al., 2013; Slawinski et al...
They actually subsidise the exploitation andconsumption for natural resources. A whole range of policies, from farm-price support toprotection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and make no economic sense. Scrapingthem offers a two-fold bonus: a cleaner environmental and a more efficient ...
The exploitation of land and water resources to sustain an ever-increasing population inevitably involves the utilisation for both urban and agricultural development of rural areas and the natural landscape. This process can result in profound changes to the flow regime of river basins that are so ...
Microorganisms are key players in the decomposition of fresh organic matter and POM as well as the formation of MAOM. The mobility of microorganisms is generally limited, and any vector promoting microbial dispersal may help the exploitation of resources previously out of reach190. This may be spec...
The water resources carrying capacity (WRCC) is a crucial indicator for assessing social, economic and ecological sustainability supported by water resources. While there are abundant studies on the WRCC, there remains a need to thoroughly analyze the driving effects of WRCC evolution. In this study...
The revenues generated by the exploitation of industrial minerals and hydrocarbons flow into the balance sheets of corporations with shareholders on six continents, including several that are among the largest corporate entities on the planet. Their operations are supported by a multitude of local...
