Stakeholder engagement in the process of policy formation can mitigate the risks of flaws in policy planning and implementation; it also facilitates the successful adoption of new decisions, reduces conflict, and enhances the sense of responsibility among all actors involved in the implementation phase.

Population semi-urbanization has become a significant feature in the process of urbanization in some countries, especially China. Although the impact of population and urbanization on the ecological environment was thoroughly studied, the role of the semi-urbanized population needs further discussion. This research studies the spatial effect of population semi-urbanization on sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions through provincial data from China.

The study investigates the relationship of green HR practices with green organizational performance. This paper further analyzes the impact of different dimensions: green performance management, green HR data and analytics, green recruitment and selection, green compensation and evaluation, green succession planning, green training and development, and green HR information systems on green HR practices.

The twin transformation in agriculture, integrating digitalization and green practices, is pivotal for achieving sustainability in the European Union (EU). This study examines the economic impacts of adopting digital and green technologies on farms in Lithuania and Romania. A comparative analysis highlights variations in adoption rates, investment levels, and operational savings across these countries. Lithuanian farms exhibit cost efficient strategies, achieving significant profitability improvements with moderate investments, while Romanian farms engage in high-cost initiatives, reflecting differences in farm size, access to funding, and policy frameworks.

This paper analyses the sustainable economic competitiveness of cereal farms in Lithuania relative to selected European Union (EU) Member States (MS). The paper proposes and empirically tests an aggregated measure of Sustainable Economic Competitiveness Index (SECI) for agriculture from a production perspective.

The impact of supply chain digitalization (SCD) on carbon dioxide emissions is an emerging area of research, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest carbon emitter. This study uses micro-level data on listed companies from 2010 to 2021 to systematically verify the impact and mechanism of SCD on corporate carbon emissions (CCE) through the difference-in-differences model.

This research delves into a crucial yet often neglected aspect of total carbon emissions—household carbon emissions (HCEs). Utilizing data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), this paper examines the causal relationship between the reference-dependent point for expected income (RDPEI) and HCEs through both theoretical and empirical lenses.

Owing to critical policy significance, a growing body of literature has been predominantly concentrating on the social welfare benefits brought by green finance (GF) initiatives. However, there is a paucity of research that quantifies the economic costs of GF initiatives on carbon reduction, raising the increasing concerns about the irreconcilable climate-economy trade-offs. To end this, the present study systematically investigates the influence of GF initiatives on the carbon-related marginal abatement cost (MAC) using two competing hypotheses: regulatory versus technical effects.

Evaluating the consumption-based carbon footprint offers detailed insights into people’s behaviours, lifestyles, and environmental impact stemming from their consumption patterns. Integrating life satisfaction and attitudes into the analysis is crucial. This paper aims to examine how life satisfaction, financial constraints, attitudes toward sustainable consumption, environmental awareness, and socio-economic/demographic variables contribute to the carbon footprint across the following consumption categories: food, mobility, electricity, heating, and clothes.

The subject of the paper is to point out the influence of the so-called "neoliberal culture" on economic development in the SEE countries and to explain the relationship between "neoliberal culture" and alternative institutions. In order to understand the topics covered by the research, the nature of the relationship between culture and institutions, as well as the relationship between culture and economic development, are additionally explained. The goal of the research is to ascertain the negative impact of the so-called "neoliberal culture" in SEE countries.
