This paper aims to estimate the total effect of climate variability on interregional migration flows in Senegal. We match regional climate data at origin, represented by normalised rainfall and normalised temperatures (maximum and minimum), with regional migration flow data from Senegal’s Agence Nationale de la Statistique et de la Démographie (ANSD) censuses to construct a panel database covering the five-yearly internal migration waves of 1976, 1988, 2001 and 2013. Using a gravity equation model where migration flows are explained by measures of climatic variability at origin, controlled for geographical, socioeconomic and demographic factors traditionally identified in the literature. Our results show that only negative precipitation anomalies at the origin area act as a push factor and accelerate emigration. In the predominantly agricultural regions, rainfall deficits appear, alongside traditional socioeconomic variables, as an additional significant factor shaping mobility across the country.

Introduction: This study delves into the intersection of frugal innovations and the Blue Economy, exploring their pivotal role in fostering sustainable development within the shrimp farming sector in Ceará, Brazil. Method: The approach was a case study based on interviews with 14 participants in 12 companies, document analysis, and field visits. Data analysis was qualitative through content analysis with the help of NVivo14 software. Results: The study identifies ten frugal innovations characterized by features that contribute both directly and indirectly to the sustainable development of the shrimp farming sector in the specified region. Conclusion: Examined through the lens of the Blue Economy, the frugal innovations within the East Coast and Vale do Jaguaribe macro-regions in the State of Ceará establish direct and indirect connections with the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.

This study addresses a significant research gap by investigating the acceptability and cost-effectiveness of plastic bottle waste (PBW) bricks in Nigeria’s construction sector. Despite their potential environmental and economic benefits, there is limited comprehensive research on the factors influencing PBW brick adoption in Nigeria. The study aims to fill this void by exploring the acceptability and cost-effectiveness of PBW bricks in Nigeria, utilizing economic cost, environmental use, and gratifications theories for theoretical explanations. Through a cross-sectional survey design and inferential statistical methods, the study reveals a growing recognition of PBW bricks’ environmental benefits, alongside identifying cost factors and transportation costs as significant determinants of PBW brick production costs. These findings contribute valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers interested in promoting sustainable construction practices in Nigeria.

Amid population growth and a shift from extensive to intensive shrimp farming, there may be a future reduction in extensive shrimp farming and mangrove forest areas. Understanding the correlation between land accumulation, economic efficiency, and potential losses is crucial. This study interviewed 311 black tiger shrimp farmers in the Mekong Delta, using one-step stochastic frontier analysis to estimate efficiency and investigate these correlations. Findings indicate an average economic efficiency of 82%, suggesting an 18% reduction in observed total costs. Economic losses, estimated at 82–465 USD/ha, were primarily seen in households with land areas below 2 ha. A positive correlation between land accumulation and economic efficiency suggests that maintaining a minimum pond area of 2 ha enhances income and mitigates losses. The study highlights the need for policies supporting land consolidation among shrimp farmers to achieve optimal pond sizes, reducing losses, and improving profitability, while promoting sustainable practices to balance shrimp farming with mangrove conservation.

The advent of the circular economy principle has triggered supply chain transformation in recent years. This article aims to conduct a state-of-the-art review of circular supply chains. To this aim, 91 peer-reviewed published journal articles from academic databases were collected and evaluated using an inductive approach. The study findings are classified into multiple dimensions of circular supply chains. These include designing products for circular supply chains, supply chain integration, digital transformation for circular supply chains, end-of-life management and circular supply chain capabilities. The study’s contribution is to analyse multiple issues and develop unique propositions of the circular supply chain. In the future, this study may be extended to specific dimensions such as digital transformation, supply chain collaboration and critical success factors of the circular supply chain.

A 2018 United Nations report [Citation need] highlights the growing need for funding and assistance to the Lake Chad Basin (LCB). The food security crisis in the LCB is a blend of complex factors relating to the declining water of Lake Chad and protracted insecurity fanned by Boko Haram insurgency. Unfortunately, development agencies sometimes focus less on how the climate change-insecurity nexus is becoming increasingly consequential in explaining the LCB’s profile in fragility. This paper considers the extent to which international agencies and nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) respond to multiple crises, integrating both climate change and security facets in their analysis and response to the food crisis besetting the LCB. Findings from interviews in Cameroon, Chad, and Niger reveal that NGOs fail to sufficiently take climate change into account in their policies and strategies, in that many food assistance programs are climate change neutral in content and focus.

This study examines the relationship between financial inclusion, renewable energy, and CO2 emissions using data from 11 Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries from 2004 to 2019. Evidence from fixed effects-ordinary least squares (FE-OLS), dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), and canonical correlation regression (CRR) showed that financial inclusion contributes significantly to decarbonization. Country-specific analysis indicated that financial inclusion is associated with mitigating CO2 emissions in Egypt, Israel, Qatar, and Tunisia while significantly spurring CO2 emissions in Algeria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. In addition, renewable energy contributes significantly to decarbonization in MENA, especially in Algeria, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Turkey. We recommend that policies promoting financial inclusion and renewable energy usage would contribute to the attainment of the carbon-neutrality goal by MENA countries.

There is growing interest in the relationship between digitalization and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, but existing research focuses on the one-way relationship and ignores the two-way mechanism. Based on a sample of 3335 listed companies in China in 2020, this study adopts a spatial simultaneous equation model to investigate the bidirectional mechanism between companies’ digitalization and ESG performance. The results show that digitalization and ESG performance have a significant positive two-way mechanism; digitalization enhances ESG performance, while ESG performance promotes digitalization. The results also indicate a significant positive intra-industry spillover effect for both digitization and ESG performance. Further research shows that the relationship between digitization and ESG performance does not differ depending on the definition of spatial weights, however, the spillover effects do differ depending on the definition of spatial weights.
