While consumers often intend to shop more sustainably, food shopping decision-making is complex, involving a process that shaped by factors occurring outside of the moment purchase. Consumers are increasingly being targeted with information aiming influence their decision-making, but change mechanisms such interventions poorly understood. This study aimed identify key influencing people's capability, opportunity and motivation make environmentally sustainable choices when shopping, how can...
The transition towards a circular economy (CE) is increasingly recognized as promising pathway to tackle pressing sustainability challenges at the city-level. Indicator-based frameworks, that is, integrated systems of indicators, are considered useful tools for monitoring this transition. Yet, studies map and assess such frameworks scanty. This article addresses gap by assessing 15 indicator-based applicable measure circularity identified were assessed using eight criteria (transparency,...
Transition to a Circular Economy (CE) is about structural change and predicated on the introduction of transformative eco-innovation (EI). Research CE–EI nexus has recently attracted attention both from an analytical regulatory perspective. However, in-depth research exploring EI dynamics within CE still marginal, especially concerning trends pro-CE innovation policy strategy. This paper addresses this gap by taking advantage burgeoning last 20 years offers new working synthesis. By...
More cities have started trajectories to become climate neutral, especially for their territorial emissions. However, while are also targeting consumption-based emissions, whether plans sufficient neutral from both a and perspective remains unclear. We designed conceptual framework based on literature review of urban mitigation reviewed mitigation–related documents nine Swedish cities. found strong political will solid targets but gaps in the actions mostly related transport, construction...
The circular economy (CE) model, where resources are kept "in the loop" for as long possible through a series of reusing, remanufacturing, recycling, and recovery strategies, has been acclaimed reducing environmental impacts our current economic model substantially therefore supported by wide range policymakers one solution to tackling climate change. However, how transitions in cities impact people rarely researched, even less attention paid negative consequences CE transitions. This paper...
Purpose This study explores the use of digital tools to support sharing sustainability information in transition towards sustainable supply chain management food chains. Design/methodology/approach The qualitative reports on a Swedish network, consisting interviews with retailers/restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers/processors. By applying analytical lens responsibilisation, abductive reveals complexities barriers transitioning industry help tools. Findings findings demonstrate that...
As cities worldwide implement strategies to accelerate the transition toward a circular economy (CE), there is an increasing need for tools monitor progress. However, standardised metric CE monitoring in urban areas lacking. This study examines potential of EU Circular Economy Monitoring Framework (CEMF), established indicator-based framework measuring national- and EU-level circularity performance, as tool areas. For this purpose, available data sources that can support framework's...
Abstract Worldwide, cities are implementing circular economy (CE) strategies to reduce the resources they consume and their environmental impact. To understand CE sectors have been focusing on, we conducted an evidence map describing literature published in last ten years. The main outputs a searchable database comprising 178 publications showing which discussed, what strategy under review. results show that most research has focused on European countries. Those efforts mainly concentrate...
Objectives Given high maternal and child mortality rates, we assessed the impact of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) to retain women in continuum care (antenatal (ANC), delivery at facility, postnatal (PNC) immunisation). Design We conducted an unblinded 1:1 cluster-randomised controlled trial. Setting 48 health facilities Siaya County, Kenya were randomised. The trial ran from May 2017 December 2019. Participants 2922 recruited control 2522 intervention arm. Interventions An electronic...
Purpose Farm businesses in England are under pressure to intensify production sustainably while managing costs and meeting market demands. Commodity prices support from Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments important determinants of profitability. With the United Kingdom (UK) leaving European Union (EU), revised policy will see farming more exposed fluctuating commodity financial Government focused on encouraging environmental land management. The research reported here, investigated...
Abstract While several studies have been undertaken to understand the circular economy (CE) in cities, there needs be a comprehensive framework acknowledging why certain decisions related CE taken. This paper proposes building on literature reviews cities and engagements with cities. Our research objectives are improve how is understood at city level; support planning, monitoring, evaluation, learning level. locates urban strategies visions, biophysical socio-economic stocks flows,...
Antenatal care (ANC), facility delivery and postnatal (PNC) are proven to reduce maternal child mortality morbidity in high-burden settings. However, few pregnant rural women use these services sufficiently. This study aims assess the impact, cost-effectiveness scalability of conditional cash transfers promote increased contact between or who have recently given birth formal healthcare system Kenya.The intervention tested is a transfer for ANC health visits, PNC visits until their newborn...
Purpose With more cities aiming to achieve climate neutrality, identifying the funding support these plans is essential. The purpose of this paper exploit present a structured green bonds framework in Sweden investigate typology abatement projects Swedish municipalities invested and understand their effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach Marginal cost curves bond measures are constructed by using financial data provided on an annual basis. Findings results highlight economic...
A wealth of evidence from a range country settings indicates that antenatal care, facility delivery and postnatal care can reduce maternal child mortality morbidity in high-burden settings. However, the utilisation these services by pregnant women, particularly low/middle-income settings, is well below recommended WHO. The Afya trial aims to assess impact, cost-effectiveness scalability conditional cash transfers promote increased rural Kenya thus retain women continuum during pregnancy,...
There is limited evidence on the cost and cost-effectiveness of cash transfer programmes to improve maternal child health in Kenya other sub-Saharan African countries. This article presents economic evaluation results Afya trial, assessing costs, equity impact a demand-side financing intervention that promotes utilisation services rural Kenya. The implementing was estimated from provider perspective. Cost data were collected prospectively all non-implementing partners, service providers....
Abstract Background As natural disasters increase in both frequency and magnitude because of climate change, assets, such as buildings infrastructure, are exposed to physical risk. In addition, our societies transition towards a greener economy, the transitional risk will manifest itself different forms: reputational issues, market solutions that may drive out those do not comply, technological disruptions policy initiatives. How risks, transitional, impact economic value real estate assets...
