Climate stress and female internal migration in China
This study examines female internal migration in China under climate-related shocks within a push-and-pull framework. It combines longitudinal microdata from the China Family Panel Studies (2010-2022) with city-level climate and economic indicators. Gender-specific probit models assess how environmental stress, local labor markets, and household characteristics shape women’s migration. Droughts, heatwaves, and floods act as push factors, and urba…
Game-changing education
Unveiling how financial markets could intensify climate change risks
This paper proposes a sustainable finance-based methodology to assess climate change vulnerability in Spain's key economic sectors. It pioneers a panel database merging biophysical, economic, and financial data, analysing private sales responses to climate change. Employing the RCP4.5 scenario, aligned with the EU's 2030 climate policy, it forecasts 10-year financial and economic variables via autoregressive neural networks, emphasizing confidenc…
Women managing public services innovation
Purpose This study aims to investigate the drivers and barriers that influence women’s capacity to innovate in public services. A theoretical framework and related hypotheses are proposed by drawing on new public management theory, self-determination theory and gender theory. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses are tested on survey data gathered in six European countries (N = 736). Findings The results show that women managing public servi…
The land use-climate change-biodiversity nexus in the perceptions of European islands stakeholders
To promote climate adaptation and mitigation strategies, it is crucial to understand the perspectives and knowledge gaps of stakeholders involved in functions affected by or addressing land use and climate changes. A large number of stakeholders across 21 European islands were consulted regarding their views on climate change and land use change issues affecting ecosystem services on their island. Climate change characteristics perceptions includ…
Is coffee transition to cocoa a doubtful adaptation strategy for smallholders in Mesoamerica
Climate change will have a permanent impact on the Mesoamerican agricultural sector. Current crops, such as shade coffee that is grown in middle-elevation areas, are already showing signs of climatic stress and may not secure agricultural subsistence. Therefore, the first stages of crop diversification are being observed in countries such as Nicaragua, where the migration of new crops like non-shade cocoa may lead to a reorganisation of ecologica…
Conceptual model for facultative symbiosis between sustainable construction and nature-based solutions in the training of engineers in Chile
Purpose Develop a conceptual model for the training of Chilean engineers in the construction field that considers the facultative symbiosis between sustainable construction (SC) and nature-based solutions (NBS). Design/methodology/approach This study aims to develop conceptual model for the training of Chilean engineers in the construction field that considers the facultative symbiosis between sustainable construction (SC) and nature-based soluti…
Analysing post-conflict policies to enhance socio-ecological restoration among black communities in Southern Colombia
Armed conflict and peace-building processes have often prolonged extreme extraction and deforestation practices. This research examines the potential drivers of local forest transitions in relation to the peace-building process in Colombia's South Pacific region; an area that has been traditionally dominated by illicit crops, inhabited by vulnerable Afro-Colombian communities and in areas where post-conflict agreements are particularly relevant d…
Facilitating self-efficacy in university students
The aim of this study is to investigate the perceived self-efficacy of university students after experiencing several Flipped Classroom sessions at different time points: prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (onsite instruction) and after confinement at home (online instruction). The study's methodology followed a quantitative approach in which a total of 376 university students who had experienced the Flipped Learning sessions complete…
The influence of urban greenspaces on people’s physical activity
Explaining inequalities in fruit and vegetable intake in Europe
Providing Access to Urban Green Spaces
The opening up of green spaces could provide significant benefits to society. This study develops a framework to assess the economic benefits and costs of public interventions providing citizen access to urban green spaces. The Thinking Fadura project in Getxo (Spain) was used as a case study. A method for participatory benefit-cost analysis is developed, where a stakeholder-participatory evaluation is combined with a standard cost-benefit analys…
Equity, Health, and Sustainability with PROVE
PROVE is a Portuguese program that empowers small-scale farmers organized into local networks to directly commercialize baskets of locally produced fruits and vegetables to consumers. This study applied a post-test-only non-equivalent group design to evaluate the resulting influence on the social empowerment of farmers and on consumer diets. The method included conducting a survey of PROVE farmers ( n = 36) and a survey of PROVE consumers ( n = 2…
A Technological Scenario for a Healthier, More Equitable and Sustainable Europe in 2040
This article aims at exploring, understanding and comparing European citizens' insights and perceptions towards "My life between realities", a positive future scenario which depicts a narrative of reaching healthier, more equitable and sustainable societies by 2040 with the support of technology and technological solutions. It responds to the need for gathering and incorporating more citizen insights into future policy developments and strategic …

Mujeres en bicicleta. Imaginarios, prácticas y construcción social del entorno en la ciudad de Sevilla
El uso de la bicicleta como medio de transporte urbano está demostrando poseer un importante potencial para modificar algunas piezas fundamentales de un modelo de movilidad insostenible pero aún dominante. Sin embargo y a pesar de su creciente presencia en el paisaje urbano, desplazarse en bicicleta no termina de ser la mejor opción para determinados grupos o perfiles de población. La ciudad de Sevilla se presenta como un caso interesante para ab…
