Flood adaptation policy alignment with resident perceptions of resilience in Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver’s municipal government calls on residents to shoulder some responsibility for flood resilience by directly participating in financing and implementing adaptation measures. This study aims to understand residents’ perceptions of resilience and how it should be pursued. Through an in-person survey (n = 200) we assess how resilience is typically understood by residents and which unique conceptualization (resilience as resistance, recovery,…
Exploring the Management Literature of Sustainable Healthcare
This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sustainable healthcare from the perspective of the management literature. Relevant publications were retrieved from the Scopus database. A total of 85 publications from 1997 to July 2024 were analyzed using the R bibliometrix package. Findings suggest this is a nascent area of study in the management literature. Scholars span the entire world. Collaboration amongst authors is important to adv…
Assessing the environmental justice implications of seismic risk in Ottawa-Gatineau and Montreal metropolitan areas
This study investigates distributive environmental injustices in seismic risk exposure across urban areas of Ottawa-Gatineau and Montreal, testing the hypothesis that socially vulnerable communities face disproportionate seismic hazards. Using geographically aggregated data from Canada's probabilistic seismic risk model and the 2021 national census, we examine spatial heterogeneity in the relationships between race/ethnicity, socioeconomic vulner…

Evaluating the suitability of policy instruments for urban flood risk reduction
City governments have access to a range of policy instruments to reduce flood risk, but choosing among these tools is challenging. This article identifies fourteen different policy instruments that could contribute to urban flood risk reduction and draws on interviews with expert stakeholders to score these instruments across eight evaluation criteria. The results indicate which policy tools the interviewees consider to be most and least suitable…
Managing urban flood risk
To manage urban flood risk, city governments must adopt a mix of policy instruments that reduces flood-related impacts and shares responsibility and costs with a broad range of stakeholders. Choosing among these instruments is challenging, however, because they differ in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and other considerations. This article presents results from a study that engaged local government experts to assess the relative suit…
Evaluating the quality of municipal climate change plans in Canada
Canadian Weathercasters’ Current and Potential Role as Climate Change Communicators
Climatologists worldwide are calling for urgent action to manage climate change, but public engagement remains a significant challenge. This lack of engagement is often attributed to psychological distance: climate change is perceived as something happening far away, to other people, or in a hypothetical future. TV weathercasters are ideally situated to communicate the geographically and temporally proximate impacts of climate change and increase…
The politics of experimentation in climate change risk reporting
The use of accounting expertise to shape voluntary sustainability reporting has been interpreted as an implicit form of ‘financialization’ whereby technical debates that promote profit maximization are privileged over corporate accountability. Research has yet to assess empirically how accounting expertise is deployed as a ‘public practice’ to influence sustainability reporting. To address this gap, I explore the emergence of the Climate Disclosu…
Subprime catalyst
The 2008 financial crisis has had an important, but neglected, impact on carbon market governance in the United States. It acted as a catalyst for the emergence of a domestic coalition that drew upon the crisis experience to demand stronger regulation over carbon markets. The influence of this coalition was seen first in the changing content of draft climate change bills between 2008 and 2010. But the coalition's more lasting legacy was its role …
