In these systematic, multi-agent projects, the long-term viability of farmland ecological protection rests significantly upon the alignment and synergistic interaction of the primary agents involved. Beginning in 2017, the Chinese government prioritized farmland ecological protection, instituting a collaborative governance structure involving policymakers, policy implementers, and agricultural producers. To appraise the characteristics of this structure, this study develops a multi-agent theoretical framework according to a “motivation-behavior” model for farmland ecological protection. Analyzing the motivations of these agents and the resultant synergy across the 2000–2020 period, this research indicates a significant rise in the motivation of Chinese policymakers toward farmland ecological protection, coupled with a significant decline in motivation among agricultural producers. Policy implementers’ motivation, however, has remained consistent. Employing a coupling and coordination model to assess the collaborative effectiveness among these actors, this study identifies a downward trend in synergistic effectiveness across three phases: primary coupling, approaching decoupling, and mild decoupling. To further explore the collaborative effectiveness of policy implementers and agricultural producers, a Tapio decoupling model is utilized to analyze changes in their synergistic activity. The temporal analysis of motivational shifts indicates a stabilizing trend among policy implementers and fluctuating efforts from agricultural producers. Spatially, high-value areas for policy implementers have experienced a significant decline, migrating from the left to the right of the Hu Line; whereas, high-value areas for agricultural producers have steadily decreased. Specifically, areas where synergistic efforts between implementers and producers in farmland ecological protection are being observed have expanded, while areas exhibiting decaying synergy have contracted. Areas initially indicating synergy decay demonstrate an initial increase followed by a decrease. This study concludes that China must develop a compensation structure for farmland ecological protection targeted at business actors, execute region-specific protection plans, and strengthen multi-agent motivation to cultivate more robust synergistic outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36171,"journal":{"name":"Environmental and Sustainability Indicators","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100583"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143179386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aptly, in Iran, Urmia Lake's fate is in contestation of these two stressors. Whereas climate change mitigation mandates a huge far-lasting global endeavor, some regional adaptations may support the lake to survive ecologically. This needs accountable actions by both institutions and individuals, contributing to the agricultural dynamism. To ensure the effectiveness of institutional lake restoration plans, the consent, cooperation, and active participation of farmers are essential. The critical issue is to know how to persuade farmers and foster prudent water consumption as the prime strategy. This requires understanding farmers intention and behavior in relation to water conservation. To explore this in the region, a specific sociopsychological model was developed. Utilizing the Norm Activation Model enriched by the constructs of Place Attachment and Expression of Emotion, farmers' moral water conservation behavior in the Urmia Lake Basin was investigated. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that all factors of the model influence the water conservation intention and behavior. While awareness of consequences strongly affects personal norms and appraisal of responsibility, place attachment and appraisal of responsibility positively impact emotions and correspondingly emotions and place attachment affect intention significantly. Whereas personal norms were influenced by awareness of consequences and appraisal of responsibility, they impact behavior and intention significantly and eventually intention makes the strongest relationship with behavior.

This study examines the impacts of climate change on rainfed wheat productivity in Irbid Governorate during the historical period (1994–2021) and simulated for the future (2024–2100) using climate models (SDGs 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, &amp; 15). Monthly precipitation, mean temperature, and annual wheat yield data were collected for the period (1994–2021) and analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test with Sen's slope to investigate the historical trends and elaborate Phi-k correlation coefficient to determine their association. Monthly precipitation and mean temperature projections were collected from CSIRO-MK3.6.0 &amp; GFDL-ESM2M CMIP5 ensemble models under two concentration pathways: RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The projections were biased and corrected by the dynamic bilinear interpolation method and Delta, EQM, and QM statistical downscaling to enhance the projections' reliability and performance in capturing the region's climate. Taylor diagram was utilized to choose the best model to represent observed data. Cumulative Distribution Function and Probability Density Function Curves were plotted to describe the changes over decades based on climate models. Future wheat yields were predicted using the Random Forest Regression model. The results revealed a non-significant increase in total annual precipitation of 1.8% and 13.8% and a rise in annual mean temperature of 5.4% and 2.7% for Irbid and Baqura stations, respectively during the baseline timeframe on which wheat yield increased by 21.3%. The CSIRO model outperformed the GFDL model with greater fidelity in simulating historical monthly precipitation and mean temperatures. The CSIRO-MK3.6.0 model indicates precipitation and temperature shifts for near and far future periods. Temperature increases are expected to have more severe impacts in the far future (2073–2100) while projected decreases in precipitation of 0.06 mm/day and 0.10 mm/day under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 affect yield reductions by 11.42 kg/ha and 12.21 kg/ha. Temperature increases of 2.7 °C and 4.1 °C under RCP 4.5 &amp; 8.5 and the responding yield decreases to 24.83 kg/ha and 33.40 kg/ha, respectively.

While riverine wetlands play a critical role in sustaining human well-being and conserving endemic biodiversity, limited studies have explored WEH through an integrated lens of ecological factors and human reliance on ecosystem services. This study employs the Vigor-Organization-Resilience-Services (VORS) framework to assess the WEH, using the entropy weighting method to compute the wetland ecosystem health index (WEHI) based on NDVI, landscape metrics, and land-use/land-cover (LULC) coefficient indicators. Applying the framework to the Upper Ganga Riverine Wetland (UGRW) in India, the study examines ecosystem health over two decades (2000–2020). The findings reveal substantial land-use changes during this period, with a 245% increase in built-up and a 41% decline in forest cover. Consequently, the WEHI declined from 0.75 in 2000 to 0.58 in 2020, marking a 23% decrease over the period. All V-O-R-S indicators showed a downward trend, with ecosystem organization (O) showing the steepest decline of 45%, followed by ecosystem services (S) at 18%, ecosystem resilience (R) at 14%, and ecosystem vigor (V) at 8%. These changes reflect the significant impacts of wetland fragmentation and land-use transitions over time. The VORS framework provides a holistic perspective on WEH, offering crucial insights for stakeholders to design effective environmental management strategies.

Based on the development of usability criteria and applying a waterfall selection process, we identified two frameworks (Food System Sustainable framework and Sustainable Nutrition Security framework) for further analysis. To test against usability, both frameworks were applied towards a case study of seven food products produced in Norway: milk, greenhouse tomatoes, greenhouse cucumbers, wheat, beef, sheep and pork. The criteria included the following: data availability, data correctness, ease of use, transparency, effectiveness or relevance, and complexity of use. The selected frameworks provided a holistic and comprehensive approach to assessing social and environmental sustainability. However, their usability was limited due to lower data accuracy and a lack of user-friendliness for researchers, who were the primary target user group. The study revealed a trade-off: frameworks with higher usability tended to sacrifice depth and comprehensiveness in the information provided about food products. Both frameworks faced significant challenges in distinguishing social and ethical issues at the product level, largely due to data limitations. These findings underscore the need for the development of a purpose-built framework that accounts for these trade-offs, while enhancing usability, is essential to progress toward a more sustainable food supply chain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36171,"journal":{"name":"Environmental and Sustainability Indicators","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100593"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143180547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR) estimation methods and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) for robustness, we conclude that energy productivity discourages the use of renewable energy among European countries, having a negative effect on the utilization of said energy estimated at a decrease of renewable energy use by 0.24% for each 10% increase in energy productivity. On the other hand, the transition process toward less fossil fuel-dependent energy contributes to a greater utilization of renewable energy, with a 0.11% increase for each 10% increase in the use of renewable energy over fossil fuels. Within this analytical framework, we observe that the positive correlation between energy productivity and environmental sustainability does not stem from an uptick in renewable energy integration.
