This paper employs a bottom-up methodology to estimate tourism-related transportation carbon emissions in China's coastal regions from 2006 to 2023, analyzing their spatiotemporal evolution characteristics across multiple scales. It further extends the LMDI model from both intra- and inter-sectoral perspectives and constructs an M-R spatial decomposition model to comparatively analyze factor-driven contributions and the drivers of spatial disparities. Key findings show: (1) the centroid of emissions in coastal areas has shifted southeastward, with greater changes in the south; (2) Per capita wealth effect ( Cl) is the main driver of emission growth, while transportation intensity is the key restraining factor; (3) eight provinces, including Guangdong and Shandong, exceed the average emission level, with Jiangsu showing the largest deviation.

Product packaging is a critical tool influencing consumer perceptions. This study examines how the perceived personality of disruptive products like canned wine links to social stereotypes of their drinkers. Surveying 1307 consumers in Italy, Switzerland, and the UK, we found a significant association between product perception and judgments of the user. Specifically, product Sincerity and Excitement correlated with highly positive views of the drinker, while Ruggedness was associated with negative traits. Theoretically, we propose a ‘product-to-person’ trait transfer mechanism, extending brand personality theory by showing how product traits act as a heuristic for forming social stereotypes. Practically, our findings identify Sincerity and Competence as key traits for fostering a positive social image. Communication strategies focusing on these perceptions can mitigate negative stereotypes, enhancing the acceptance of sustainable packaging and benefiting consumer social identity.

Industry transfer is often seen as a barrier to urban green growth. Using city-level panel data from China, this study shows that policy-led strategic emerging industry (SEI) transfer can foster sustainable urban development. Spatial Durbin and partially linear functional coefficient models are employed to assess spillovers and threshold effects. We find that SEI transfer promotes green growth through industrial upgrading and green innovation. The effects are asymmetric but positive for both inflows and outflows, with clear cross-city spillovers. Environmental regulation moderates the impact in an inverted U-shaped pattern, while green policy support serves as a substitute. These results support the positive-sum Transfer Halo Hypothesis and provide guidance for industrial relocation policies that promote long-term sustainable growth.

Cucurbita ficifolia is an underutilised cucurbit with recognised nutritional, enzymatic and bioactive properties that could support circular strategies in agri-food systems. This study systematically reviewed Scopus and Web of Science records (1963–2023) to characterise research trajectories on C. ficifolia and to assess how published evidence aligns with circular economy patterns and sustainability pillars. The literature shows a progressive shift from physiological and enzymology studies towards biotechnological applications, functional ingredients and health-oriented products. Most valorisation routes emphasise material recycling and substitution patterns, with environmental and economic benefits reported more frequently than explicit social outcomes. However, life cycle assessments, techno-economic analyses and social impact metrics remain scarce. Overall, C. ficifolia emerges as a promising strategic resource for circular agri-food chains in climate-vulnerable regions, provided that future research integrates life cycle sustainability assessment, value chain governance and inclusive business models.
西葫芦是一种未充分利用的葫芦，具有公认的营养、酶和生物活性特性，可以支持农业食品系统的循环战略。本研究系统地回顾了Scopus和Web of Science记录（1963年至2023年），以描述关于云杉的研究轨迹，并评估已发表的证据如何与循环经济模式和可持续性支柱相一致。文献显示，从生理学和酶学研究逐渐转向生物技术应用、功能成分和健康导向产品。大多数增值路线强调材料回收和替代模式，报告环境和经济效益的频率高于明确的社会结果。然而，生命周期评估、技术经济分析和社会影响指标仍然很少。总体而言，如果未来的研究能够整合生命周期可持续性评估、价值链治理和包容性商业模式，那么在气候脆弱地区，柽柳将成为循环农业食品链的一种有前景的战略资源。

The effects of Micro-Celebrity Endorsements (MCE) and three multidimensional Care Motivations [World Care (WC), Self Care (SC), and Ecological Welfare (EW)] on Attitude Towards Sustainable Consumption (ATSC) and Purchase Intention (PI) are investigated in this study. Incorporating MCE as a novel digital stimulus that influences sustainability-oriented behaviors in green consumption, this study enhances theoretical understanding through the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model. Three hundred fifty people participated in the survey by completing a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, and SmartPLS (version 4.1.1.5) was used to test the proposed research model. The results show that MCE significantly enhances WC, SC, and EW, indicating that micro-celebrities play a crucial role in fostering multidimensional caring attitudes among consumers. Furthermore, ATSC is positively and significantly affected by WC, SC, and EW, with EW exerting the most significant influence. ATSC positively influences purchase intention for sustainable products. Taken as a whole, the results indicate that the authenticity and legitimacy of micro-celebrity influencers enhance the impact of both altruistic (world caring, ecological welfare) and self-oriented (self-care) motives on consumers' propensity to purchase sustainably. As a theoretical contribution, the study strengthens the S-O-R framework for sustainability research by including digital endorsement cues as essential stimuli. In reality, this means that to encourage sustainable consumer behavior, marketers need to devise strategies that combine endorsements from real micro-celebrities with messages that emphasize personal well-being and environmental responsibility.

This study provides a systematic literature review on the topic of sustainable fashion (SF) research through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study employs the Theory–Context–Characteristics–Method to analyze 502 peer-reviewed journal articles published from 2015 to 2024 using BERTopic, an unsupervised machine learning approach that identifies latent thematic structures and research trends in the SF literature. The analysis centers on six main research themes Sustainable Fashion–Design Education, Consumption Dynamics, Consumption Pioneers, Circular Fashion–Industry Analysis, Eco-Textile Innovation, and Social Media Influence. Mapping these against the 17 SDGs showed strong associations with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), while SDGs 14 and 15 remain relatively unexplored. Regional disparities between the Global North and South are also illuminated as well as an over-reliance on conceptual and quantitative methods with a dearth of longitudinal, simulation-based, and biometric approaches. The results yield a systematic research agenda over TCCM dimensions. This review deepens and integrates existing sustainable fashion scholarship by systematically mapping dominant research themes and methodological patterns to the SDGs. By combining machine-learning-assisted topic modeling with expert validation and organizing insights through the TCCM framework, the study offers a comprehensive, SDG-anchored synthesis and a future-oriented research agenda for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.

The green economy spans interrelated domains—climate change and social equity, sectoral decarbonization, markets and ESG investment, and environmental health. Understanding how these dimensions interact is critical for guiding effective low-carbon transitions. This study applies a theory-informed, multi-method framework to examine their structural relationships using data from 160 countries, with Global Green Economy Index (GGEI) indicators as a proxy for national green economy performance. The analysis combines probabilistic clustering, Bayesian network modeling, partial least squares structural equation modeling, and importance–performance analysis to reveal systemic pathways of influence. Results show that climate change and social equity dimension is the most influential driver of national green performance, exerting both direct effects and indirect effects through sectoral decarbonization. Decarbonization emerges as a pivotal mediator, translating upstream social, environmental, and market conditions into broader sustainability outcomes. Markets and environmental health also exert direct impacts, though their influence via decarbonization is limited. These findings advance a relational perspective on green economy transitions, highlighting systemic leverage points where targeted interventions can accelerate progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate action).

Organisations are under increasing pressure today to provide proof of responsible performance in environmental, social, ethical, operational, customer, and financial facets. Despite the huge research effort on Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), existing reviews still focus on either environmental or employee outcomes and have not yet appeared to derive a multifaceted insight into the way in which GHRM helps to enhance the responsible performance of the enterprise. To fill this gap, we performed a PRISMA-based systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database of publications from the year 2020–2025. The findings illustrate a change beginning after 2023 that compels us to have management accountable for ESG to incorporate sustainability across organisations and a strategic environmental focus. This study finds that GHRM improves environmental performance, responsible employee engagement, corporate social responsibility, ethical climate, responsible operational activities, responsibility-driven customer satisfaction, and ethically grounded long-term financial performance. This review advances the understanding of GHRM's role in enhancing organisational responsibility by synthesising fragmented findings, specifying the boundaries of responsible performance, and linking theory-grounded mechanisms using AMO, SET, RBV, Stakeholder Theory, CSR Theory, and Knowledge-Based View. Finally, future directions are highlighted for further research, including cross-country comparative studies, digital GHRM, SMEs, and multi-dimensional frameworks for the measurement of responsible performance.

In response to the global environmental crisis, reducing the impact of production and consumption is essential. Within the clothing system, research and policy have focused primarily on sustainable production and end-of-life management, neglecting the use phase. Yet, understanding how garments are used—and how this varies across products and users—is essential to accurately assess environmental impacts and design effective interventions. This study analyzes data from in-person visits with 160 adult participants in Flanders (Belgium) to provide a comprehensive overview of garment service lifespans across 12 garment categories and 6 wear occasions using three complementary metrics: use time in years, use intensity in wears, and use intensity in washing cycles. The results reveal substantial variation both within and across garment types. For example, a t-shirt for informal use is kept on average four years, worn 33 times, and washed 18 times, whereas a t-shirt for formal use is kept five years but is worn only nine times and washed six times, while a coat for informal use is kept for five years, worn 136 times, but hardly ever washed. Even within garment types, the large observed interquartile ranges indicate pronounced heterogeneity in service lifespan. These findings demonstrate the importance of context-specific data on garment use to understand the function garments fulfil, a prerequisite to assess their environmental impact. By providing empirical insights into garment use behavior, this study informs researchers and policymakers in developing targeted strategies to promote a more sustainable clothing system.
