Abstract Dietary transition provides a promising demand‐side strategy for sustainable development, although challenges lie in balancing the trade‐offs between human health, environmental sustainability and economic affordability. Our study revisits through perspective of population heterogeneity. Specifically, transitioning Chinese diet from its 2011 baseline to healthier alternative with minimal behavioral adjustments could intensify impacts by 1.3–2.3 times. Conversely, relaxing...

Abstract Pension funds are crucial in supporting environmentally sustainable and socially responsible investments. This paper focuses on an essential product of pension funds, target date (TDFs), constructing its portfolio model that considers environmental, social, governance (ESG) investment. Our utilizes the mean–variance–skewness–kurtosis optimization framework accounts for time‐varying relationship between realized higher moments subsequent TDFs performance. A cardinality constraint is...

Humanity faces a variety of risks from pollution and environmental degradation. Societal advancement has equipped the public with numerous self-protection measures to mitigate these threats. However, ways in which individuals deploy balance self-defence mechanisms within this complex risk landscape resulting consequences remain largely unexplored. Drawing on detailed survey households' practices, study rigorously analyses heterogeneity driving factors behind household-level strategies....
