Reductions in the consumption of livestock products in Western diets are considered necessary to mitigate some of animal productions' impacts on human health, animal welfare and the environment. Whilst several alternative protein products are on the market or being developed, the motivations for consumer decision-making are not well-understood. In particular, given the focus on improved sustainability as justification for these alternative proteins, understanding the relationship between sustainability considerations and willingness to try (WTT) remains important. This study uses data from 1929 UK individuals to evaluate the potential role of sustainability considerations (health, animal welfare, environmental, financial) on WTT three alternative protein products: plant-based, cultured meat, and edible insects. Ordered probit and quantile regression models are used to explore WTT, with controls for respondents' sociodemographic characteristics and level of awareness. The findings show that sustainability considerations particularly ethical and environmental concerns remain relevant in the WTT alternative proteins in the UK. Their potential role however varies across products and consumer segments. There is also significant variation in WTT due to factors related to familiarity with specific alternative protein types and respondent's socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., gender, education, age, marital status, household size, number of children and household income). Recommendations are made for strategies to promote the alternative protein products examined based on these findings.

减少西方饮食中牲畜产品的消费被认为是必要的，以减轻某些动物产品对人类健康、动物福利和环境的影响。虽然有几种替代蛋白质产品已经上市或正在开发中，但消费者决策的动机尚不清楚。特别是，考虑到提高可持续性作为这些替代蛋白质的理由，理解可持续性考虑与尝试意愿（WTT）之间的关系仍然很重要。这项研究使用了1929年英国个人的数据来评估可持续性考虑（健康，动物福利，环境，金融）对WTT三种替代蛋白质产品的潜在作用：植物性，培养肉和可食用昆虫。使用有序概率和分位数回归模型来探索WTT，并控制受访者的社会人口统计学特征和意识水平。研究结果表明，在英国，可持续性考虑，特别是伦理和环境问题，仍然与WTT替代蛋白质有关。然而，它们的潜在作用因产品和消费者群体而异。由于对特定替代蛋白质类型的熟悉程度和受访者的社会人口特征（即性别、教育程度、年龄、婚姻状况、家庭规模、子女数量和家庭收入）相关因素，WTT也存在显著差异。根据这些发现，提出了推广替代蛋白质产品的策略建议。

Plastic microbeads in personal care products have raised significant environmental concerns, prompting regulatory interventions worldwide. However, consumer intentions play a crucial role in ensuring the success of such initiatives, particularly in emerging economies where market diversity and socio-cultural complexities exist. This study developed an integrative model combining the Theory of Planned Behaviour, Value Belief Norms, and Social Cognitive Theory to understand the pro-environmental behavioural intentions of Indian consumers towards microplastics in personal care products. A nationwide survey (N = 375) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with PROCESS macro analysis were conducted. The study identified ‘moral values’ as a critical determinant of Behavioural Intention, influencing decisions through two indirect multiple mediation pathways; the former involving ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘attitude’ (β = 0.119), whereas the latter includes ‘environmental knowledge’ and ‘attitude’ (β = 0.061). In this study, ‘observational learning’ exhibited a novel conditional moderation effect at moderate and high levels through ‘self-efficacy’ (β = 0.055) and ‘perceived behavioural control’ (β = 0.034), emphasising the role of social learning in shaping consumers' intentions towards purchases. A baseline observation of this study noticed that younger, female, and scientifically educated consumers were more emotionally responsive and supportive of regulatory measures, while older and non-science background consumers preferred incentive-based approaches. The insights from this study will aid in developing responsible consumption patterns through targeted awareness campaigns, eco-labelling, influencer-led promotions, and educational curriculum reforms, which are linked to Sustainable Development Goal 12.

个人护理产品中的塑料微珠引起了严重的环境问题，促使世界各地的监管干预。然而，消费者意图在确保此类举措成功方面发挥着至关重要的作用，特别是在市场多样性和社会文化复杂性存在的新兴经济体中。本研究结合计划行为理论、价值信念规范和社会认知理论开发了一个综合模型，以了解印度消费者对个人护理产品中的微塑料的亲环境行为意图。在全国范围内进行了一项调查（N = 375），并采用结构方程模型（SEM）进行了PROCESS宏观分析。该研究确定“道德价值观”是行为意图的关键决定因素，通过两种间接的多重中介途径影响决策；前者包括“自我效能”和“态度”（β = 0.119），后者包括“环境知识”和“态度”（β = 0.061）。在本研究中，“观察学习”通过“自我效能”（β = 0.055）和“感知行为控制”（β = 0.034）在中高水平上表现出一种新的条件调节效应，强调了社会学习在塑造消费者购买意愿方面的作用。本研究的基线观察发现，年轻、女性和受过科学教育的消费者在情感上更容易响应和支持监管措施，而年龄较大和没有科学背景的消费者更喜欢基于激励的方法。本研究的见解将有助于通过有针对性的宣传活动、生态标签、有影响力的人主导的促销活动以及与可持续发展目标12相关的教育课程改革，发展负责任的消费模式。

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。

Sustainably produced rice could play a significant role in securing future global food supply, potentially offering an approach to mitigate biodiversity loss, address food security challenges, and contribute to economic growth. To drive successful market adoption of sustainably produced rice, it is essential to comprehensively understand consumer attitudes and the factors influencing their purchasing decisions. In this review, we synthesises findings from 51 studies investigating global consumer acceptance of sustainably produced rice, identifying two broad categories of influencing factors: consumer-related (demographics, attitudes, and knowledge/familiarity) and product-related (product attributes and verifications). Overall, we found that sustainably produced attributes (56 records), label and certificates (56), income (22), cognitive perceptual factors (20), and environmental concern (18) are the five most mentioned positive factors that play a significant role in influencing consumer preferences for sustainably produced rice. Key recommendations for improving consumers' acceptance of sustainably produced rice include: enhancing consumer awareness of healthy eating and environmental protection, strengthening food certification systems, and developing rice varieties that are both nutritionally superior and environmentally sustainable. This review offers valuable insights into sustainable consumer behaviour, providing a foundational framework for researchers and marketers to further investigate consumer preferences, develop targeted marketing strategies, and explore the market potential of sustainably produced rice. It also highlights the need for additional research to address gaps in understanding market-specific factors affecting sustainably produced rice consumption.

可持续生产的水稻可以在确保未来全球粮食供应方面发挥重要作用，可能为减轻生物多样性丧失、应对粮食安全挑战和促进经济增长提供一种方法。为了推动市场成功采用可持续生产的大米，全面了解消费者的态度和影响他们购买决策的因素是至关重要的。在这篇综述中，我们综合了51项调查全球消费者对可持续生产大米接受程度的研究结果，确定了两大类影响因素：与消费者相关的（人口统计、态度和知识/熟悉程度）和与产品相关的（产品属性和验证）。总体而言，我们发现可持续生产的属性（56项记录）、标签和证书（56项）、收入（22项）、认知感知因素（20项）和环境关注（18项）是五个被提及最多的积极因素，它们在影响消费者对可持续生产大米的偏好方面发挥着重要作用。提高消费者对可持续生产大米接受程度的主要建议包括：提高消费者对健康饮食和环境保护的意识，加强食品认证制度，以及开发营养丰富和环境可持续的水稻品种。该综述为可持续消费者行为提供了有价值的见解，为研究人员和营销人员进一步调查消费者偏好、制定有针对性的营销策略和探索可持续生产大米的市场潜力提供了基础框架。它还强调需要进行更多的研究，以解决在了解影响可持续生产的大米消费的特定市场因素方面的差距。

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.

Sustainable Financial Consumerism (SFC) encapsulates long-term financial well-being and social equity. Despite its critical importance, the interplay between various determinants of SFC particularly in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), remains limited. This study fills a salient gap by employing structural equation model to explain the determinants of SFC, focusing on the exogenous variables such as financial literacy and awareness (FLA), artificial intelligence (AI), and financial product quality (FPQ). Utilizing the data collected from the rural households of selected aspirations districts in India, the study investigates the moderating effect of FLA in shaping SFC. By identifying financial literacy awareness as a direct influencer and a moderator, the findings offer actionable insights for stakeholders to design more targeted strategies for promoting sustainable financial practice and rational decision-making. The research highlights the potential of leveraging AI and social media to deliver personalized, engaging, and accessible financial education tailored to diverse demographics. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of collaboration among financial institutions, technology providers, and educational agencies to build an ecosystem that advances financial literacy (SDG 4), and promote sustainable financial behaviour for inclusive economic growth (SDG 8). Such multi-stakeholder partnerships also align with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), fostering synergies that enhances broader sustainability objectives.

可持续金融消费主义（SFC）包含了长期的财务福利和社会公平。尽管其至关重要，但SFC的各种决定因素之间的相互作用，特别是与可持续发展目标（sdg）的一致，仍然有限。本研究利用结构方程模型来解释SFC的决定因素，重点关注金融素养和意识（FLA）、人工智能（AI）和金融产品质量（FPQ）等外生变量，填补了这一显著空白。本研究利用从印度选定的理想地区的农村家庭收集的数据，调查了公平竞争对塑造SFC的调节作用。通过将金融素养意识确定为直接影响者和调节者，研究结果为利益相关者提供了可操作的见解，以设计更有针对性的策略，促进可持续金融实践和理性决策。该研究强调了利用人工智能和社交媒体为不同人群量身定制个性化、引人入胜和可访问的金融教育的潜力。此外，该研究强调了金融机构、技术提供商和教育机构之间合作的重要性，以建立一个生态系统，提高金融素养（可持续发展目标4），促进可持续金融行为，促进包容性经济增长（可持续发展目标8）。这种多利益攸关方伙伴关系也符合可持续发展目标17（目标伙伴关系），促进协同作用，促进更广泛的可持续发展目标。

Despite growing awareness of the importance of waste prevention in circular economy transitions, substantial volumes of reusable items continue to be discarded. This exploratory case study investigates consumer behavior at a Swedish recycling center, focusing on decisions made at the point of disposal. Guided by Social Practice Theory (SPT), the study examines how routines, knowledge, infrastructure, and cultural meanings shape behavior when individuals choose whether to recycle or reuse functional or repairable products. A mixed-methods approach combined on-site vehicle scanning, semi-structured interviews, and contextual observations. Scanning results showed that up to 35 % of discarded items had reuse potential, highlighting a significant gap between waste system outcomes and consumer intent. Qualitative data revealed that even consumers with positive attitudes toward reuse often default to recycling due to convenience, time constraints, and low confidence in repair or reuse options. Donating to charity often alleviates guilt, but many of these items are later recycled by the organizations, exposing systemic inefficiencies and public misunderstandings. Findings are analyzed through the SPT lens, emphasizing the interplay of meanings (social norms, moral justifications), competences (repair skills, reuse knowledge), and materials (product quality, infrastructure). This framing shows how reuse practices are constrained by structural conditions and embedded habits. The study contributes to sustainable consumption literature by identifying behavioral barriers and mismatches between consumer expectations and system design. It proposes targeted interventions, including clearer reuse criteria, better guidance at disposal points, and system adjustments aligned with everyday practices—to enhance reuse behavior and reduce preventable waste.

尽管人们越来越意识到防止废物在循环经济转型中的重要性，但仍有大量可重复使用的物品被丢弃。这个探索性案例研究调查了瑞典回收中心的消费者行为，重点是在处置点做出的决定。在社会实践理论（SPT）的指导下，该研究考察了日常习惯、知识、基础设施和文化意义如何影响个人在选择是否回收或再利用功能性或可修复产品时的行为。混合方法结合现场车辆扫描，半结构化访谈和上下文观察。扫描结果显示，高达35%的废弃物品具有再利用潜力，突显了废物处理系统的结果与消费者意图之间的巨大差距。定性数据显示，即使是对再利用持积极态度的消费者，也经常因为方便、时间限制和对修复或再利用选择的信心不足而默认回收。向慈善机构捐款通常会减轻人们的负罪感，但其中许多物品后来被组织回收利用，暴露出系统效率低下和公众误解。通过SPT的视角分析发现，强调意义（社会规范、道德辩护）、能力（修理技能、重用知识）和材料（产品质量、基础设施）之间的相互作用。这个框架显示了重用实践是如何受到结构条件和嵌入习惯的约束的。该研究通过识别消费者期望与系统设计之间的行为障碍和不匹配，为可持续消费文献做出了贡献。它提出了有针对性的干预措施，包括更明确的再利用标准、更好的处置点指导以及与日常实践相一致的系统调整，以加强再利用行为并减少可预防的浪费。

This systematic literature review explores the junction of workplace well-being, digital capacity, and innovation performance in reaction to increasing calls for ethical innovation and sustainable business practices. With specific focus on Asia and China, the review draws on 48 peer-reviewed papers published between 2012 and 2024 to synthesize results across various organizational and geographical settings. Three fundamental theoretical frameworks—Social Exchange Theory, Human Capital Theory, and Digital Transformation—anchor the study. The findings show that workplace well-being—comprising emotional, cognitive, social, and occupational aspects—is a major facilitator of innovative and proactive employee behaviour. At the same time, digital capacity becomes a moderator and a driver, increasing the impact of well-being by means of improved cooperation, autonomy, and knowledge system access. The review reveals, therefore, important mediating and moderating factors—such as organizational environment and technical self-efficacy—that influence the paths to innovation. The results encourage a change from output-driven to value-driven innovation models in line with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and the values of sustainable and responsible consumption. While suggesting future research paths in fields such AI-readiness, hybrid work environments, and regional differences in innovation equality, the study provides useful insights for leaders and legislators trying to balance digital progress with human-centered approaches. In the end, the study provides a strong foundation for creating ethical, inclusive, and sustainable innovation plans in the digital era.

这篇系统的文献综述探讨了工作场所幸福感、数字能力和创新绩效之间的联系，以回应对道德创新和可持续商业实践日益增长的呼吁。该评估特别关注亚洲和中国，借鉴了2012年至2024年间发表的48篇同行评议论文，综合了不同组织和地理环境的研究结果。三个基本理论框架——社会交换理论、人力资本理论和数字化转型理论——是研究的基础。研究结果表明，工作场所的幸福感——包括情感、认知、社交和职业方面——是创新和积极的员工行为的主要促进者。与此同时，数字能力成为一种调节和驱动因素，通过改善合作、自主和知识系统获取来增加福祉的影响。因此，本文揭示了影响创新路径的重要中介和调节因素，如组织环境和技术自我效能感。研究结果鼓励从产出驱动型向价值驱动型创新模式转变，以符合环境、社会和治理（ESG）目标以及可持续和负责任消费的价值观。该研究在提出人工智能准备、混合工作环境和创新平等的地区差异等领域的未来研究路径的同时，为试图平衡数字进步与以人为本的方法的领导人和立法者提供了有用的见解。最后，该研究为在数字时代制定合乎道德、包容和可持续的创新计划提供了坚实的基础。

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 Paris Agreement mandated high-greenhouse-emitting countries implement carbon pricing to accelerate emission reduction to cope with environmental challenges posed by climate change. We emphasized a research analysis of the reciprocal feedback mechanism between micro- and macro-economic systems in response to the carbon tax in the economy, facilitating the adoption of renewable technology for social welfare. This research utilized a bi-model comprising the dynamic computable general equilibrium model and energy system optimization model for analysis. Results revealed empirical and positive evidence of carbon tax efficacy of three times emission reduction related to a less than one-time economic contraction, while significant environmental benefits positively influenced the individual welfare and technological advancement in Tianjin, China. The conclusion offers concrete long-term benefits of cleaner energy adoption, public health, and environmental sustainability to align with the Paris Agreement goals. The study suggests that policymakers implement a gradual carbon tax to maintain economic growth and fund carbon tax revenue to renewable energy technology, industrial efficiency upgradation, and social welfare programs to balance economic trade-offs.

《巴黎协定》要求温室气体高排放国家实施碳定价，以加速减排，应对气候变化带来的环境挑战。我们着重研究了微观和宏观经济系统之间的相互反馈机制，以应对经济中的碳税，促进可再生技术的社会福利采用。本研究采用由动态可计算一般平衡模型和能量系统优化模型组成的双模型进行分析。结果表明，天津地区三次减排的碳税效应与经济收缩相关，显著的环境效益正向影响个人福利和技术进步。该结论提供了采用清洁能源、公共卫生和环境可持续性与《巴黎协定》目标相一致的具体长期效益。研究建议政策制定者实施渐进式碳税以维持经济增长，并为可再生能源技术、工业效率升级和社会福利项目提供碳税收入，以平衡经济权衡。
