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…
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…
Analysing post-conflict policies to enhance socio-ecological restoration among black communities in Southern Colombia: Cacao cropping as a win–win strategy
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: An interactive approach with Flipped Classroom
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: A population-based study in Spain
Explaining inequalities in fruit and vegetable intake in Europe: The role of capabilities, opportunities and motivations
Providing Access to Urban Green Spaces: A Participatory Benefit-Cost Analysis in Spain
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…
Ten Lessons for Good Practice for the Inherit Triple Win: Health, Equity, and Environmental Sustainability
The world's challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. An important question is how behaviour change can be enabled and supported at the scale and speed required. The research reported in this paper describes important lessons for good practice in changing contexts to modify beh…
Equity, Health, and Sustainability with PROVE: The Evaluation of a Portuguese Program for a Short Distance Supply Chain of Fruits and Vegetables
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: Citizen Perceptions and Policy Implications
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 …
Exposure to green areas: Modelling health benefits in a context of study heterogeneity
Framing vulnerability and coffee farmers’ behaviour in the context of climate change adaptation in Nicaragua
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…
