GDP alternatives revisited: A systematic review and thematic analysis of barriers to the adoption of alternative measures of economic progress
A considerable body of work argues that GDP is not a measure of social welfare and distorts the impact of economic activity. Given its well-documented shortcomings, a plethora of alternative measures have been developed to correct the welfare distortions of GDP. Collectively they are known as Beyond GDP (BGDP) measures. However, none of the alternatives proposed over the past 50 years have been widely adopted. This study examines the lack of prog…
Enabling cross-sectoral transformation for coastal climate adaptation in Europe: Four directions for interdisciplinary efforts
Coastal areas in Europe are of immense value – not only to their residents but also to communities further inland. At the same time, they are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The current pace of coastal climate adaptation remains slow, constrained by underfunding and the fragmented, sectoral nature of many initiatives. This calls for radically new yet practical approaches. In this perspective, a group of European research…

Understanding the influence of gender, masculinity, and femininity on attitudes and behaviours around meat consumption: Comparison of measures to better inform policy action
Men eat more meat, display higher meat-eater identities, and are less willing to reduce consumption. • Masculine traits link to stronger meat-eater identity and lower environmental/health awareness. • A new masculinity–femininity scale was created, independent of gender identity. • Higher masculinity-femininity scores indicate lower willingness to reduce consumption and higher meat-eater identities. • Policies must consider gender traits to effec…
Economic evaluations of urban green and blue space interventions: A scoping review
While a number of studies have estimated the economic value of existing urban green and blue spaces (UGBS), few studies have attempted to value the impact of new UGBS interventions. We set out to identify primary studies in both peer-reviewed and grey literature that conducted economic evaluations of UGBS interventions, and to critically assess the methods and tools employed. We searched seven bibliographic databases to identify peer-reviewed stu…
Positive psychology constructs and Extramural English as predictors of primary school students’ willingness to communicate
This mixed-methods study investigates whether and to what extent positive psychology constructs (classroom enjoyment, grit, and growth mindset) and Extramural English predict primary school students’ willingness to communicate in a second language (L2 WTC) both in the classroom (a fictitious but common setting for English communication among English as an Foreign Language [EFL] students) and outside the classroom (a natural and increasingly preva…
Using Sensor Data to Identify Factors Affecting Internal Air Quality within 279 Lower Income Households in Cornwall, South West of England
(1) Background: Poor air quality affects health and causes premature death and disease. Outdoor air quality has received significant attention, but there has been less focus on indoor air quality and what drives levels of diverse pollutants in the home, such as particulate matter, and the impact this has on health; (2) Methods: This study conducts analysis of cross-sectional data from the Smartline project. Analyses of data from 279 social housin…
Street trees and mental health: Developing Systems Thinking-Informed Hypotheses Using Causal Loop Diagraming
We considered the relationship between street trees and mental health with the aim of developing systems thinking-informed hypotheses to improve the implementation and evaluation of this popular nature-based solution (NBS). We integrated qualitative and quantitative evidence using causal loop diagraming (CLD), and then further analyzed and extended these diagrams with the aid of systems archetypes to identify key system structures. From these CLD…

Building local capacity for managing environmental risk: A transferable framework for participatory, place-based, narrative-science knowledge exchange
This paper evaluates a unique, transdisciplinary participatory research and knowledge exchange methodology developed in the Drought Risk and You (DRY) project and offers it as a transferable framework for others engaging stakeholders and systemic connections with environmental risk. Drought in the UK is a complex, diffuse and hidden risk, involving multiple stakeholders and systemic connections across diverse sectors. Historically, drought risk m…
The health potential of urban water: Future scenarios on local risks and opportunities
Although cities can be characterised as sources of economic, environmental and social challenges, they can also be part of the solution for healthy and sustainable societies. While most cities are situated close to water, whether inland waterways, lakes, or the sea, these blue spaces are not integrated into urban planning to their full potential and their public health impacts are not always recognised by planning authorities. Furthermore, cities…
Combining self-reported and sensor data to explore the relationship between fuel poverty and health well-being in UK social housing
Linking novel real-time sensor data with comprehensive individual baseline survey data, this study estimates the effect of fuel poverty on the physical and mental health of social housing tenants in the southwest of the UK. Structural equation modeling is applied to show that fuel poverty has a significant negative effect on mental health. Other socio-economic characteristics (such as age, household size) and house characteristics (e.g., energy-e…
Changes in Domestic Energy and Water Usage during the UK Covid-19 Lockdown Using High-Resolution Temporal Data
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the UK Government provided public health advice to stay at home from 16 March 2020, followed by instruction to stay at home (full lockdown) from 24 March 2020. We use data with high temporal resolution from utility sensors installed in 280 homes across social housing in Cornwall, UK, to test for changes in domestic electricity, gas and water usage in response to government guidance. Gas usage increased by 20%…

How to Achieve a Healthier and More Sustainable Europe by 2040 According to the Public? Results of a Five-Country Questionnaire Survey
The aim of this paper is to understand public preferences for several future scenarios of achieving a healthier, more equitable and sustainable Europe, which differ in the way the society is organized (individualistically vs. collectively) and in the driving sector (public vs. private). To achieve this aim, we conducted a questionnaire survey using representative samples for five European countries in 2018. About three thousand respondents chose …
Social cohesion, mental wellbeing and health-related quality of life among a cohort of social housing residents in Cornwall: A cross sectional study
Among a relatively homogeneous cohort, the reported level of social cohesion was only found to be significantly associated with higher mental wellbeing, not physical or mental health-related quality of life. The efforts made by social housing providers to offer social opportunities to all their residents regardless of individual physical or mental health state may support the development of a certain degree of social cohesion. Sense of control or…
Determinants of Volunteering Within a Social Housing Community
In general, research demonstrates that deprivation, education, health, and well-being are determinants of volunteering, and that volunteering can play an important role in building stronger communities and provides many benefits for individual health and well-being. This study concentrates on the effects of physical and mental health and well-being as predictors when the aspect of socio-economic impact has been minimised. It utilises a unique dat…
A methane emissions reduction equivalence framework for alternative leak detection and repair programs
Fugitive methane emissions from the oil and gas sector are typically addressed through periodic leak detection and repair surveys. These surveys, conducted manually using handheld leak detection technologies, are time-consuming. To improve the speed and cost-effectiveness of leak detection, technology developers are introducing innovative solutions using mobile platforms, close-range portable systems, and permanent installations. Many of these ne…

The Inherit Model: A Tool to Jointly Improve Health, Environmental Sustainability and Health Equity through Behavior and Lifestyle Change
The need for analysis and action across the interrelated domains of human behaviors and lifestyles, environmental sustainability, health and inequality is increasingly apparent. Currently, these areas are often not considered in conjunction when developing policies or interventions, introducing the potential for suboptimal or conflicting outcomes. The INHERIT model has been developed within the EU-funded project INHERIT as a tool to guide thinkin…
Social determinants of male health: A case study of Leeds, UK
There appears to be a lack of sex/gender analysis of current cross city data. In areas of deprivation a complex picture of multiple social problems emerges, with marked gender differences in the social determinants of health, with males seeming to be more negatively affected. There is a need for more focused planning for reaching out and targeting boys and men in the most deprived inner city areas, so that greater efficiency in service delivery c…
