How is justice addressed in collaborative local climate action?
Purpose Local governments play a critical role in addressing climate change through a justice lens to ensure that climate action benefits equity-denied communities who experience disproportionate impacts. This study examines how equity is negotiated and incorporated in collaborative local climate planning and action. Design/methodology/approach We analyzed 12 Canadian cases of local climate action partnerships through document analyses and 55 int…
Cross-Sector Partnerships for Social–Ecological Resilience and Transformation
In an era of social–ecological crises, resilience and transformation are closely related societal ambitions, but they can exacerbate tensions between public, private, and civil society members of cross-sector partnerships (XSPs). Bridging management and organization studies with social–ecological research, we advance a panarchy framework of adaptive cycles nested across interconnected scales, in which XSPs are embedded. As portrayed in the panarc…
Assessing the Global South–North Dichotomy in Deep Decarbonization Strategy at the Local Level
Deep decarbonization strategies at the local level have been extensively documented for cities in the Global North, yet little is known about how cities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) pursue climate mitigation amid infrastructure constraints, limited fiscal autonomy, and pressing developmental needs. Local governments worldwide are recognized as critical actors in addressing urban greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, SSA cities’ decarbonization …
An investigation of campuses’ sustainability practices in Nigerian higher education institutions
Purpose This study aims to dive into the unique context of Nigerian universities, exploring their roles in terms of campus sustainability practices and the challenges they face while implementing sustainability initiatives. Design/methodology/approach This study investigates sustainability practices through in-depth interviews with higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries. Experts from eight different government-owned universi…
The current state of integrating equity, diversity and inclusion into knowledge mobilization
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to systematically review and analyze the academic literature on integrating equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into knowledge mobilization (KMb). Design/methodology/approach This systematic literature review of the body of scholarly literature published on integrating EDI with KMb follows established methods and protocols proposed by Popay et al. (2006) and Page et al. (2021). Using a relevant keyword stri…
Sustainable tourism value chain analysis as a tool to evaluate tourism's contribution to the sustainable development goals and local Indigenous communities
As one of the largest industries, tourism receives substantial attention for planning and development. This attention can contribute to achieving Agenda 2030 and localising the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over the last decades, sustainable tourism has been promoted as an economic and cultural activity that supports local communities. However, there has been limited research on evaluating sustainable tourism projects from …
Preparing Trainees to Care for Diverse Patient Populations
To the Editor: There is an increasing need to train physicians to provide equitable health care to patients from diverse backgrounds and to consider the social determinants of health that impact patients’ physical and mental wellness. U.S. medical school curricula are moving toward teaching a more holistic approach to health care, but gaps still exist between what is taught and the areas in which trainees seek additional expertise. Recognizing th…
Toward Achieving Local Sustainable Development
In recent years, sustainable community development has gained traction for addressing local environmental, social, and economic issues. Cities worldwide are committed to implementing sustainable community plans (SCPs) in their efforts to achieve sustainable development, and more recently, to localize the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although there are over 1000 plans in Canada, a gap exists between creating these plans an…
Technical pathways to deep decarbonization in cities
As the urgency for climate action heightens, local governments and stakeholders are developing pathways towards deep decarbonization at the local level and committing to community-wide greenhouse gas reductions of 80–100% by 2050 or earlier. Urban areas are the largest place-based source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 71%–76% of global emissions. Local governments have direct and indirect control of over a significant proportion of e…
The role of higher education institutions in sustainability initiatives at the local level

Wired for Innovation
This conceptual article argues that young people’s brains are “wired for innovation” and that society should better engage this age-group to access its innovation potential. Research published in the neuroscience and developmental psychology literature shows that between 15 and 25 years of age adolescents and emerging adults possess traits of successful innovators. They are collaborative, creative, observant, curious, willing to experiment, willi…
Environmental sustainability practices in South Asian university campuses
Lack of Stakeholder Influence on Pollution Prevention
In a developing country context, this study explores environmental awareness, stakeholder influence strategies, and pollution prevention roles among 11 local, civil society groups (e.g., environmental nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] is one grouping; media and press is another grouping). A theoretical framework that builds on the social movement literature and is more inclusive of a developing country context is offered. In essence, awareness…
Youth-led social change
This paper provides a framework for evaluating youth-led social change. The framework considers: seven topics (e.g., environment, human health and safety, and education); nine engagement types (e.g., volunteerism, research and innovation, and political engagement); six organizational types (e.g., advisory body, social enterprise, and individual); three strategies (socialization, influence, and power); and three scales of impacts (individual, comm…
Key structural features for collaborative strategy implementation
Les partenariats de différents secteurs élaborent souvent des plans stratégiques de collaboration. La présente étude examine les caractéristiques structurelles clés de l’exécution de ce type de plan, en tenant compte de l’atteinte des objectifs collaboratifs (c.-à-d. des retombées se rattachant aux questions autour desquelles la collaboration s’est cristallisée, ces questions étant documentées dans le plan stratégique de collaboration). En s’appu…
Framing ‘Green Jobs’ Discourse
The emerging concept of Green Jobs has yet to be clearly defined. This study uses critical discourse analysis and framing theory to analyse the meaning of Green Jobs claims, and their representation and transformation. Based on an analysis of print media from 1999 to 2009 and supporting policy documents, five predominant frames were identified in Green Jobs discourse: Environment–Economy Bridge, Green Entrepreneurship, Nascent Industry Creation, …
