PackaChing is an innovative social enterprise that seeks to enable recycling behaviour in low-income communities by equipping entrepreneurs with small-scale, mobile recycling buyback centres
In Ghana, a basic requirement for getting connected to electricity is access to an electric meter. However, delays in the acquisition of the meters force many households to “subconnect” electricity
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the drivers for adopting energy efficiency practices within an emerging market context.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the shared value theoretical perspective, this study investigates the corporate strategy approaches toward energy efficiency in firms. This paper draws from a sample of 852 Kenyan firms from 14 sectors. This study’s analysis is based on an ordered probit model.
Findings
A roundtable debated the role of carbon pricing in India’s climate change mitigation strategy, particularly in attaining the national target of net zero emissions by 2070, declared at COP-26. The…
The success of Chilean salmon farming’s early cultivation stages is largely facilitated by access to high-quality water, which is provisioned by watersheds dominated by native forests and defined by high precipitation levels. In recent decades, human activities have increasingly affected both attributes. This study analyzed the risk of climate change in 123 watersheds that supply water to land-based salmon farms in south-central Chile (36.5−43°S).
El cambio climático viene afectando de manera diferenciada a la agricultura, en particular, en la zona andina, dada su alta exposición, sensibilidad y baja capacidad adaptativa. Se evaluó la respuesta adaptativa de la agricultura andina frente a una variación de la disponibilidad hídrica debido al cambio climático en base al modelo hidro-económico que integra dos módulos: el modelamiento hidrológico en base al SWAT y un modelo económico de optimización en base al PMP.
Quantifying drought's economic impacts has been key for decision-making to build future strategies and improve the development and implementation of proactive plans. However, climate change is changing drought frequency, intensity, and durability. These changes imply modifications of their economic impact, as longer droughts result in greater cumulative economic losses for water users.
Payment for Ecosystem Service (PES) programs are increasingly being used by policymakers to protect watersheds, prevent deforestation, and support biodiversity. At the same time, the world is facing
