Research has often overlooked examination of circular consumption practices from the consumer’s perspective by primarily focusing on specific consumption activities, hindering researchers from obtaining comprehensive insights into consumers&rsq...
The effects of climate change, such as melting ice and permafrost in northern and Arctic regions, raise serious concerns about the risk of accidents at oil production, transportation, and storage facilities. This risk is compounded by the lack of com...
The increasing complexity of Water Distribution Systems (WDSs), driven by urbanization, climate change, and aging infrastructure, necessitates robust methods for risk assessment and visualization. This study presents a practical methodology for mappi...
The integration of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) into contemporary landscape planning is hampered by a lack of methodological frameworks that can translate site-specific practices into generalizable design principles. This study addresses th...
This article is devoted to the crucial actual problem of the restoration of lands disturbed by the mining industry. It has been determined that before the reclamation of disturbed lands, it is essential to conduct an environmental impact assessment....
Biomass is a key renewable resource for advancing sustainable and circular energy systems. In contrast to prior reviews that predominantly emphasized well-established biomass types and conventional conversion technologies, this work offers a comparat...
Air pollution issues are relevant all over the world, especially in industrial areas. The main pollution of the atmosphere is caused by dust emissions from industry. This article discusses the issue of dust emission from the coal industry. The purpos...
Conversion of burned forestlands into rice croplands is often practised to increase food production. However, this practice can lead to a severe decline in soil quality and functioning. Unfortunately, no research has previously evaluated how and to w...
Marine oil spills remain a recurring environmental concern, particularly in coastal and estuarine areas. Among the available strategies for managing spilled oil, sorbents derived from natural fibers have attracted considerable interest as viable alte...
Using data collected from 294 farm households across Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, this study quantifies crop losses due to soil salinity and analyzes the key factors associated with it. Further, it analyzes the factors driving the farmers’ choi...
This paper examines the evolving role of social economy organisations (SEOs) in advancing sustainability and contributing to the green transition. While traditionally focused on social inclusion and local development, SEOs are increasingly integratin...
This study conducts a detailed and systematic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of demineralized (DEMI) water production at the Al-Hilla Second Gas Power Plant in Iraq, employing the Open LCA-ReCiPe 8 Midpoint (H) method to evaluate potential environmental...
Coffee production is one of the main sources of income for products from Peru’s inter-Andean valleys. However, the rugged geographical conditions offer few growing areas with different altitudes, which could lead to variations in the quality of...
Lake Batur is part of the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark and an active caldera of Mount Batur on Bali Island, Indonesia, and it has no inlet or outlet. The current state of the lake has deteriorated due to severe environmental degradation. The lake&rsqu...
The exploitation of mineral resources often necessitates groundwater drainage, which may impact surrounding ecosystems, particularly vegetation. In this study, the effects of passive drainage in the Kornica-Popówka chalk mine in eastern Poland...
Decarbonizing air transport is a major challenge in the global energy transition since electrification is not yet feasible. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a promising solution because it can reduce CO2 emissions without major infrastructure chang...
