This systematic review examines the role of Virtual Reality (VR) in advancing sustainable and responsible pedagogical innovation in art and design education. Drawing on 52 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025, it synthesizes evidence across educational technology, leadership, and sustainability research. The review introduces a novel TAM-SDT-DL framework that integrates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and Digital Leadership (DL) to offer a multidimensional lens on VR adoption. This hybrid model combines functional, psychological, and organizational factors, emphasizing that sustainable VR integration requires alignment between perceived usefulness, ease of use, fulfillment of psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness), and visionary institutional leadership. Findings highlight VR's pedagogical affordances for immersive, creative, and resource-conscious learning, while identifying critical challenges such as digital skill gaps, infrastructure limitations, and the need for inclusive, ethical, and environmentally conscious strategies. The TAM-SDT-DL framework addresses gaps in current research by linking individual learner engagement with institutional readiness and policy alignment. The review provides actionable guidance for educators and policymakers, advocating faculty development that unites technical training with motivational pedagogies, leadership strategies that ensure equitable access, and policies aligned with sustainability goals, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Ultimately, the review argues that VR's potential lies not in its technological novelty, but in its capacity to support responsible innovation through alignment with sustainable educational values. It calls for longitudinal, culturally responsive, and methodologically diverse research to maximize VR's transformative impact on creative education.

本系统综述探讨了虚拟现实（VR）在促进艺术和设计教育中可持续和负责任的教学创新方面的作用。它借鉴了2015年至2025年间发表的52项同行评议研究，综合了教育技术、领导力和可持续性研究方面的证据。本文介绍了一个新的TAM-SDT-DL框架，该框架集成了技术接受模型（TAM）、自决理论（SDT）和数字领导力（DL），为虚拟现实的采用提供了一个多维视角。这种混合模型结合了功能、心理和组织因素，强调可持续的虚拟现实整合需要在感知有用性、易用性、心理需求（自主性、能力、相关性）的满足和有远见的机构领导之间保持一致。研究结果强调了VR在沉浸式、创造性和资源意识学习方面的教学启示，同时确定了诸如数字技能差距、基础设施限制以及对包容性、道德和环保意识战略的需求等关键挑战。TAM-SDT-DL框架通过将个人学习者参与与机构准备和政策一致性联系起来，解决了当前研究中的空白。该报告为教育工作者和政策制定者提供了可操作的指导，倡导将技术培训与激励教学法、确保公平获取的领导战略以及与可持续发展目标（包括联合国可持续发展目标）相一致的政策相结合的教师发展。最后，该评论认为，虚拟现实的潜力不在于其技术的新颖性，而在于其通过与可持续教育价值观相一致来支持负责任的创新的能力。它要求纵向、文化响应和方法多样化的研究，以最大限度地发挥VR对创意教育的变革性影响。

Carbon emissions from rural households in underdeveloped regions remain poorly understood compared to those in urban and developed areas. This study analyzes household carbon emissions in Xunyang County, China, demonstrating that food-related emissions dominate across both farming and non-agricultural households, followed by energy consumption and transportation, with housing and clothing contributing minimally. Livestock farming is the primary source within production-related emissions, highlighting the mitigation potential of reducing ruminant livestock. Employing a Lasso regression model (adjusted R² = 0.769, F = 44.160), we identify housing floor area and non-agricultural hukou status as key drivers of emissions, whereas female-headed households, aging populations, regional GDP, and terrain complexity exert negative or marginal negative effects. The nuanced influences of education and crop/water area reveal complex socio-ecological dynamics that warrant further investigation. These findings underscore the need for targeted low-carbon interventions focused on improving residential efficiency, managing urbanization-driven consumption, and incentivizing sustainable behaviors to advance rural sustainability.

与城市和发达地区相比，欠发达地区农村家庭的碳排放仍然知之甚少。本研究分析了中国旬阳县的家庭碳排放，结果表明，在农业和非农业家庭中，与食品相关的碳排放占主导地位，其次是能源消耗和交通运输，住房和服装贡献最小。畜牧业是与生产有关的排放的主要来源，这突出了减少反刍牲畜的减排潜力。采用Lasso回归模型（调整后的R2 = 0.769, F = 44.160），我们发现住房面积和非农业户口状况是碳排放的主要驱动因素，而女性户主家庭、人口老龄化、地区GDP和地形复杂性对碳排放产生负向或边际负向影响。教育和作物/水域的微妙影响揭示了复杂的社会生态动态，值得进一步研究。这些发现强调了有针对性的低碳干预措施的必要性，重点是提高住宅效率，管理城市化驱动的消费，激励可持续行为，以促进农村的可持续性。

In the global quest for containment of the climate crisis, government incentives and measures play an important role to promote consumers' preferences for sustainable products. For policies to be effective, achieving public acceptance is particularly relevant. In this context, it is important to understand how different forms of trust in political institutions relate to perceptions of policy acceptance and effectiveness, and how these interact with different types of policies and cultural contexts. Against this backdrop, in an online experiment with a 2x2 design, we manipulated participants' perceptions of competence- and integrity-based trust in an expert commission appointed by the national government to design sustainable food policies in Germany (N = 249) and Chile (N = 203). Effects on the acceptance and perceived effectiveness of market-based (introduction of a new tax) and information-based (holistic label) sustainable food policies were measured. Descriptive results suggest that in Germany, information-based policies were believed to be more effective than market-based policies, while in Chile, the reverse was true. Exploratory results of multiple regression analyses further indicate that integrity-based trust compared to competence-based trust was a significant predictor for perceived policy effectiveness in both countries and for policy acceptance in Germany. In contrast, competence-based trust seems to be crucial for policy acceptance in Chile. No clear differential patterns emerged in function of policy type. Overall, the present study yields important points of departure for the design of effective policy making, giving importance to people's support in pursuing a consistent climate change strategy.

在全球寻求遏制气候危机的过程中，政府的奖励和措施在促进消费者对可持续产品的偏好方面发挥了重要作用。要使政策有效，获得公众的接受尤为重要。在此背景下，重要的是要了解对政治机构的不同形式的信任如何与政策接受度和有效性的看法相关，以及这些信任如何与不同类型的政策和文化背景相互作用。在此背景下，在一项2x2设计的在线实验中，我们操纵了参与者对德国（N = 249）和智利（N = 203）国家政府任命的专家委员会的能力和诚信信任的看法。对以市场为基础（引入新税）和以信息为基础（整体标签）的可持续食品政策的接受度和感知有效性的影响进行了测量。描述性结果表明，在德国，人们认为基于信息的政策比基于市场的政策更有效，而在智利，情况正好相反。多元回归分析的探索性结果进一步表明，与基于能力的信任相比，基于诚信的信任是两国感知政策有效性和德国政策接受度的显著预测因子。相比之下，在智利，基于能力的信任似乎对政策的接受至关重要。在政策类型的功能上没有明显的差异模式。总的来说，本研究为有效的政策制定提供了重要的出发点，强调了人们对追求一致的气候变化战略的支持的重要性。

Governments develop mixes of policy instruments to drive electric vehicle adoption by combining direct and indirect financial incentives and informational and convenience policies. In this paper, we analyse the impact of instrument mixes on electric vehicle adoption by firms because their early adopter role can stimulate mass adoption. We contribute to the literature by offering quantitative analyses on the impact of instrument mix attributes - consistency and comprehensiveness - on firms’ electric vehicle purchases, where prior studies focus on qualitative analyses, adoption intentions, and adoption by households. We built an original dataset of new registrations of electric commercial vehicles and electric light commercial vehicles from 2001 to 2019 in the United Kingdom. We use Poisson fixed effects models for our panel data of 760 observations. Our results show that direct and indirect financial incentives and informational and convenience policies positively impact adoption with direct financial incentives having the largest impact. Consistent and comprehensive mixes also positively influence the adoption of both vehicle types. Our results imply that upfront cost reductions are most important for firms and that financial incentives should be combined with policies that overcome knowledge and operational barriers.

政府通过将直接和间接的财政激励与信息和便利政策相结合，制定混合政策工具来推动电动汽车的采用。在本文中，我们分析了仪器组合对公司采用电动汽车的影响，因为他们的早期采用者角色可以刺激大规模采用。我们通过对工具组合属性（一致性和全面性）对企业电动汽车购买的影响进行定量分析来贡献文献，而先前的研究侧重于定性分析，采用意图和家庭采用。我们建立了英国2001年至2019年电动商用车和电动轻型商用车新注册的原始数据集。我们对760个观测值的面板数据使用泊松固定效应模型。我们的研究结果表明，直接和间接的财政激励以及信息和便利政策对采用率有积极的影响，其中直接财政激励的影响最大。一致和全面的混合也对两种车型的采用产生积极影响。我们的研究结果表明，前期成本的降低对企业来说是最重要的，财政激励应该与克服知识和运营障碍的政策相结合。

The rapid expansion of civil infrastructures has improved the quality of life but has also resulted in a significant increase in industrial solid wastes (ISWs), posing serious sustainability challenges, particularly for waste disposal. To address the challenges, this study investigated the state of the art and identified emerging innovations to utilize the ISWs associated with various industrial processes. Effective ISW utilization was noted to be not only vital for ecological sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also for achieving substantial cost and resource savings, contributing to a circular economy. This review study examined industrial byproducts from various sectors, such as steel and metal production, silicon and ferrosilicon manufacturing processes, agriculture and biomass industries, coal combustion and incineration in power plants, construction, textile and plastic production, and renewable energy industries. Each byproduct was systematically assessed in terms of its contribution to waste generation and the strategies available to minimize its environmental impacts. Special emphasis was placed on the reuse and repurpose of ISWs, especially for their integration into the construction industry, where they can be transformed into valuable raw materials. The effects of these byproducts on the main properties of the most common construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, fillers, aggregates, and fibers, were studied in detail. The study also examined the ISW management hierarchy and its role in enhancing landfill disposal techniques. This comprehensive review led to original insights to address various aspects of ISW utilization, with a particular focus on their sustainable repurposing for civil infrastructure applications.

This study applied the Psychosocial Norms Approach (PNA) to examine Gambian consumers’ beliefs regarding consumption of functional foods (FFs), which contain health-promoting bioactive compounds and nutrients. A survey of Gambian consumers, stratified by age, gender, education, and FF knowledge, investigated relationships among knowledge, awareness, and attitudes influencing willingness to try FFs. Multivariate multiple regression models analyzed demographic and lifestyle data. Results revealed a strong correlation between attitudes towards FFs and perceived properties. Positive attitudes towards FFs were associated with perceived health benefits, and willingness to consume FFs increased with these beliefs. Family and friends significantly contributed to FF knowledge dissemination. Furthermore, age, health status, and education significantly influenced consumer awareness. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted information campaigns, particularly for low-educated populations concerned about health. This study identifies knowledge gaps and provides insights for policymakers promoting healthier diets in The Gambia, offering valuable lessons for other developing nations.

本研究采用社会心理规范方法（PNA）来调查冈比亚消费者对含有促进健康的生物活性化合物和营养素的功能性食品的消费观念。一项针对冈比亚消费者的调查，按年龄、性别、教育程度和FF知识分层，调查了影响尝试FF意愿的知识、意识和态度之间的关系。多元多元回归模型分析了人口统计和生活方式数据。结果显示，对FFs的态度与感知属性之间存在很强的相关性。对FFs的积极态度与感知到的健康益处有关，并且消费FFs的意愿随着这些信念而增加。家庭和朋友对FF知识传播的贡献显著。此外，年龄、健康状况和教育程度显著影响消费者的认知。这些调查结果强调了开展有针对性的宣传运动的必要性，特别是针对关注健康的受教育程度低的人群。这项研究确定了知识差距，为冈比亚促进健康饮食的政策制定者提供了见解，为其他发展中国家提供了宝贵的经验。

The cassava starch industries of Thailand and Vietnam collectively dominate over 90 % of global cassava starch exports. Given this vast economic scale and potential for further expansion, proactive environmental measures are crucial to improve the industry's sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint (CF). This study evaluated the CF of cassava starch produced by 12 plants across Thailand, utilizing the CF methodology outlined by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) and ISO/TS 14067:2018. The results revealed that the median CF of dry cassava starch was 468 kgCO_2eq/ton (dry basis), while the CF of premium grade cassava starch with a 13 % moisture content was 407 kgCO_2eq/ton. Production chain analysis identified three major contributors to the CF of cassava starch: cultivation, root transport, and starch processing. Cultivation is the primary contributor, accounting for 52 % of the overall CF, followed by electricity consumption associated with the cassava starch production process (33 %), and cassava root transport (8 %). Based on these findings, enhancing the sustainability of the cassava industry requires a multi-faceted approach focusing on four key strategies: the adoption of sustainable cultivation methods, utilization of renewable energy for electricity generation, optimization of root transport logistics, and prioritization of biogas over fuel oil and biomass for heat generation.

泰国和越南的木薯淀粉工业共同占全球木薯淀粉出口的90%以上。鉴于这一巨大的经济规模和进一步扩张的潜力，积极的环境措施对于提高该行业的可持续性和减少碳足迹（CF）至关重要。本研究利用泰国温室气体管理组织（公共组织）和ISO/TS 14067:2018概述的CF方法，评估了泰国12家工厂生产的木薯淀粉的CF。结果表明，干燥木薯淀粉的CF中值为468 kgCO2eq/t（干基），而优质木薯淀粉的CF中值为407 kgCO2eq/t（含水率为13%）。生产链分析确定了木薯淀粉CF的三个主要贡献者：种植、根运输和淀粉加工。种植是主要贡献者，占总CF的52%，其次是与木薯淀粉生产过程相关的电力消耗（33%）和木薯根运输（8%）。基于这些发现，提高木薯产业的可持续性需要多方面的方法，重点关注四个关键战略：采用可持续种植方法，利用可再生能源发电，优化根系运输物流，优先考虑沼气而不是燃料油和生物质用于供热。

This systematic literature review investigates how marketing strategies focused on sustainability affect consumer trust and sustainable branding in emerging economies, where environmental regulations are often weak or inconsistently enforced. Although interest in green business practices is increasing, existing research addresses related areas such as green consumerism, environmental messaging, or circular economy models in isolation. This review synthesizes findings from 61 peer-reviewed articles across seven key areas: marketing, sustainability, circular economy, consumer trust, sustainable branding, green consumerism, and systematic review methodology. It also evaluates how digital verification technologies, including blockchain and artificial intelligence can promote transparency, minimize greenwashing, and reinforce consumer confidence. The originality of this review lies in its interdisciplinary approach, its contextual focus on under-regulated markets, and its integration of digital tools into the green marketing framework. The findings show that authentic, sustainable branding enhances long-term brand value, while misleading sustainability claims weaken consumer trust. Green consumerism is shaping purchasing behaviors and driving demand for responsible business practices. Circular economy models improve resource efficiency, but face challenges related to scale, infrastructure, and policy in developing regions. This review contributes to theory by linking institutional theory with sustainability transitions and provides practical insights for companies and policymakers seeking to align marketing strategies with ethical and environmental objectives. This review concludes by identifying future research directions, particularly in technology-enabled transparency, regional consumer insights, and the financial viability of circular solutions in emerging markets.

这篇系统的文献综述调查了在环境法规往往薄弱或执行不一致的新兴经济体中，以可持续性为重点的营销策略如何影响消费者信任和可持续品牌。虽然对绿色商业实践的兴趣正在增加，但现有的研究只涉及绿色消费主义、环境信息或循环经济模式等相关领域。本综述综合了61篇同行评议文章的发现，涉及七个关键领域：市场营销、可持续性、循环经济、消费者信任、可持续品牌、绿色消费主义和系统评估方法。它还评估了包括区块链和人工智能在内的数字验证技术如何提高透明度，最大限度地减少绿色清洗，并增强消费者信心。本综述的独创性在于其跨学科方法，其对监管不足市场的背景关注，以及将数字工具整合到绿色营销框架中。研究结果表明，真实的、可持续的品牌提升了长期的品牌价值，而误导性的可持续发展主张削弱了消费者的信任。绿色消费主义正在塑造购买行为，推动对负责任的商业行为的需求。循环经济模式提高了资源效率，但在发展中地区面临着规模、基础设施和政策等方面的挑战。这篇综述通过将制度理论与可持续性转变联系起来，为公司和政策制定者寻求将营销策略与道德和环境目标相结合提供了实践见解。本综述最后确定了未来的研究方向，特别是在技术支持的透明度、区域消费者洞察和新兴市场循环解决方案的财务可行性方面。

Household food waste poses a serious threat to planetary boundaries, particularly regarding water use, since it translates directly into unnecessary consumption of virtual water, contributing to freshwater depletion and threatening water security in water-scarce regions. This study examines how household socioeconomic factors differentially drive the water footprint embedded in food wasted, and how these impacts vary across food categories. To do so, we combine detailed data on food waste quantities of representative Spanish households for the period 2018–2022 with data on unitary water footprint of consumption, in order to calculate the volume of virtual water embedded in food discarded by households. We then employ a pooled regression approach to estimate the socioeconomic characteristics influencing it, analysing differences across food categories and testing how the impact of household characteristics varies by categories. Our results reveal that higher socioeconomic status and larger households significantly increase the water footprint of food waste, while the age of the main shopper and the presence of children are associated with a reduction. Moreover, our findings show that the water footprint of vegetables and other foods categories is more sensitive to socioeconomic status, while the water footprint of meat and dairy categories shows a stronger effect driven by age and household size. These insights offer policymakers valuable guidance for the design of tailored policies for specific groups to reduce the water usage, focusing not only on those products with a higher waste level, but also with a higher water footprint.

家庭食物浪费对地球边界构成严重威胁，特别是在用水方面，因为它直接转化为不必要的虚拟水消耗，造成淡水枯竭，威胁缺水地区的水安全。本研究考察了家庭社会经济因素如何以不同方式驱动食物浪费中的水足迹，以及这些影响在不同食物类别之间的差异。为此，我们将2018-2022年期间西班牙代表性家庭食物浪费数量的详细数据与消费的单一水足迹数据相结合，以计算家庭丢弃的食物中嵌入的虚拟水的量。然后，我们采用混合回归方法来估计影响它的社会经济特征，分析不同食品类别的差异，并测试家庭特征的影响如何因类别而异。我们的研究结果表明，较高的社会经济地位和较大的家庭显著增加了食物浪费的水足迹，而主要购物者的年龄和儿童的存在与减少有关。此外，我们的研究结果表明，蔬菜和其他食品类别的水足迹对社会经济地位更为敏感，而肉类和乳制品类别的水足迹受年龄和家庭规模的影响更大。这些见解为政策制定者提供了有价值的指导，可以为特定群体设计量身定制的政策，以减少用水量，不仅关注那些浪费水平较高的产品，而且关注那些水足迹较高的产品。
