  • When rules fall behind: How outdated regulations stall the energy transition

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim, Bart Homan et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2026

    Local energy transitions are promoted as means to achieve decarbonization, ensure democratic participation by local communities in energy decision-making, and foster social acceptance of renewable energy projects. However, despite the growing maturity of energy technologies and increased policy support, local energy initiatives continue to face regulatory barriers that limit their capacity to achieve their goals. The article examines how legal fr…

  • Comparison of Groundwater Ownership Regimes in Ten Jurisdictions Across Five Continents

    Open Access•Gabriel Eckstein, Theo Buchler et al.•ARTICLE•Transnational Environmental Law•2026

    The regulation of groundwater remains underdeveloped globally and often lags behind the domestic governance of surface water. As a result, groundwater is often subject to unfettered extraction, uses, and contamination. A clear understanding of ownership is central to the success of domestic regulations. However, the types of ownership regime in place in nations around the world are poorly documented in the academic literature. This study addresse…

  • The AI Act and Its Green Blind Spots: Hidden Environmental Risks in the AI Lifecycle

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim, Esmat Zaidan et al.•ARTICLE•Technology in Society•2026•References: 67

    The European Union Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is the first comprehensive regulatory framework for AI, establishing a risk-based approach. It addressed environmental sustainability only to a limited extent. Environmental impacts are not considered a separate category of risks but are tackled indirectly through procedural mechanisms, including transparency, documentation, and governance requirements. Many have questioned whether this approach…

  • Local energy autarky: What it means and why it matters

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim, Franziska Baack et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2025•References: 31

    The concept of energy autarky, namely self-sufficient energy production and consumption, gained traction as states and other actors seek alternatives to centralised energy systems and conventional energy sources. This led to discussions about the potential for achieving autarky at various territorial levels, including national, regional, local, and even city district or household. While studies on autarky at the national level exist, the connotat…

  • Hybrid global governance for responsible and inclusive Artificial Intelligence: Proposing a new Sustainable Development Goal 18

    Open Access•Esmat Zaidan, Jon Truby et al.•ARTICLE•Technology in Society•2025•References: 13

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognised as a transformative force in advancing and potentially undermining, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While AI can drive innovation to benefit SDG's , it also amplifies risks such as bias, surveillance abuse, and environmental impacts. Existing governance approaches remain fragmented, with principles-based, rights-based, risk-based, and ethics-based frameworks operatin…

  • China's Belt and Road Initiative is Not a Novel Approach to International Law-Making

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim•ARTICLE•Asian Journal of Law and Society•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 66

    The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has advanced in various regions. While analyses have predominantly focused on its political and economic impacts, its legal aspects received less attention. This article explores whether the Chinese legal model implemented via the initiative represents a novel approach to international law-making. The focus is on its application in the Middle East and North Africa, where a set of primary mechanisms are utilised:…

  • Missiology Meets Ecotheology: Creation Faith in an Intercultural Perspective

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim, Isis Ibrahim•ARTICLE•Studies in World Christianity•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    Indigenous religions around the world have brought forth functional attitudes towards their natural environment that have – until recently – proved successful. Thus, it can be assumed that a culture's creation spirituality and ethos must be rooted in a specific natural setting to be ecologically effective. The Christian creation faith with its universal truth claim, on the other hand, is globally inclusive, but tends to remain abstract, unless it…

  • How best to incorporate conjunctive water management into international water law: Legal amendment, instrument coupling, or new protocol adoption

    Open Access•I A Ibrahim, Jonathan Lautze•ARTICLE•International Environmental…•2023•References: 3

    International water conventions—e.g., the 1997 United Nations Convention on the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses —include positive but insufficient focus on groundwater and its interaction with surface water. As such, a growing body of literature has proposed modifications to existing frameworks to enable consideration to surface and groundwater and their interactions. While this literature places considerable focus on coupling…

  • Blockchain, climate damage, and death: Policy interventions to reduce the carbon emissions, mortality, and net-zero implications of non-fungible tokens and Bitcoin

    Open Access•Jon Truby, Rafael Dean Brown et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 3

    The art industry has commercialised and popularised non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with the volume and value of NFT transactions rapidly growing to US$ 10.7 billion in Q3 2021. The increase in NFT transactions has drawn the attention of the art market to the consequent carbon emissions resulting from verifying transactions in proof-of-work blockchains supporting NFT transactions. With CO2-related deaths attributable to NFT transactions, social press…

  • Water as a human right, water as a commodity: Can SDG6 be a compromise

    The debate over whether water must be considered a human right or a commodity has been ongoing for a few decades . It has led to a conflict between supporters of a human rights approach to water an
