Nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban areas offer an opportunity to improve environmental conditions and to reduce CO2 emissions towards establishing climate-neutral cities in the next few decades. Furthermore, the implementation of NBSs—vertical or hor
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are receiving worldwide attention and concern over the past decades. However, the net change of GHG emissions due to reservoir creation is not well reported. The objective of the study was to evaluate the net GHG emissions of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), ...
affordable fossil fuels will eventually run out, compelling a shift to renewables [62,63]. This is why advancing renewable technologies is now important. Unlike fossil fuels, which take millions of years to form, at present usage rates, the fossil fuel era will last only approximately 400 ...
25,26,27]. By focusing on the delivered purpose of a product, rather than its exact form, innovation can occur more broadly and a wide range of possible candidates for application can be considered [22]. In addition
repercussions due to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the control of fossil fuel production by a limited number of nations are among the main reasons why there is an ongoing effort to restructure our energy sector towards greater sustainability via utilization of renewable sources of ...
The global food system is a leading driver of environmental degradation through its contributions to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), land system change, fresh-water withdrawal, biodiversity loss, and eutrophication [1]. Public food procurement is recognized as an important leverage point...
Due to pressing sustainability challenges, the fashion industry is undergoing tremendous change. Surprisingly, even though the unique context of fashion presents an opportunity for scholars to explore the (un)sustainable transitions, this context has yet
However, the associated costs of transport for these delivery solutions complicate operations including increased air-pollution, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and traffic congestion (Siragusa et al. Citation2022). For instance, a report by OECD (Citation2023) showed that freight transport in urban ar...

Sustainability and environmental impact assessments of trade and investment agreements need to address biodiversity more effectively. To showcase this, we examined a report, commissioned by Switzerland, on potential environmental impacts and risks of the
