However, these are notoriously difficult to obtain in an authentic version: local values require some interpretation by the researchers trying to define them, but this modifies them unacceptably. In this work we use a transdisciplinary perspective, by holding fast to the need for well-defined outcomes of perceptions but by obtaining them via a humanities-based process, named <em>WeValue InSitu</em>, of tacit-to-explicit crystallization of shared values-in-action. Here we innovate and demonstrate the approach of following that crystallization process immediately with a carefully-designed focus group discussion about climate change impacts on their life in the city. The result is a set of clear articulations with respect to life values, such that nuances and linkages between perceptions and values are retained, and across groups is a saturation and consistency that reflects the city (Shanghai) context. We find a conceptual model emerges for the residents: a) they have surprising awareness of climate change but did not think it's impacts so severe or urgent; b) some impacts concern them but they consider Shanghai to be the best place to live, because of its resources and good governance; c) they consider responsibility to be jointly individual and collective with the government; d) they expect clear and transparent communication from the government for collective action. These research outcomes are significant because there is currently no other efficient method to produce such useful results which are also demonstrably authentic: results which indicate not only future policy pathways but the current situation in detail. As the WeValue InSitu method is already shown to be transferable, this approach should now be systematically applied in comparative studies in different cities to determine its scalability, and to academic fields with similar research gaps such as ecosystem services and urban design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100018"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791622000161/pdfft?md5=c9e89034d0667828167303ee10b03786&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791622000161-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78398795","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}

The need for decentralising water management becomes relevant, and vegetated roofs are internationally known to be able to assist in locally retaining and detaining stormwater. For these Nature-based Solutions to be effective, there must be science-based standardisation, supporting decision-makers towards effective public policy-making based on hydrological performance. However, this performance should be associated with local environmental conditions, and continental-size countries such as Brazil can have a large variety of climates. At the same time, Brazil lacks a comprehensive review associating experimental results with climatic classifications. In this sense, the present work aims at reviewing the experimental research undertaken in Brazil and synthesising its rainwater retention outcomes associating it to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. To accomplish this task, the Rational Method is used to extract and conform data from 34 records involving internationally and nationally published works as well as grey literature. Results of this work present to national researchers not only gaps but important trends, generating further innovative opportunities for work, and present to international researchers an accessible and georeferenced bulk of data on vegetated roofs' hydrological performance in Brazil with the highest possible resolution. It was found that semi-arid climates had the best average rainwater retention rates (0.79), followed by subtropical (0.54–0.72), and the tropical climates had the lowest (0.55–0.69). The work concludes that vegetated roofs have a positive hydrological performance throughout Brazil. However, further work is needed to quantify the hydrological influence of a range of different structural and environmental factors that modify the roofs' performance. It is also shown that climates, particularly outside the financial centres of Brazil, lack data and hence need further investigation and experimental research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100013"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791622000112/pdfft?md5=57c9c6f4662502f7c2482f9e4031ba37&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791622000112-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85014440","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}

The recent shockwaves from the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have made nations rethink their energy transition strategies. For various governments to encourage carbon neutrality, there is a dire necessity for widespread research on the expansion of greener energy sources. This bibliometric review sheds light on the significant contributions in the field of energy transition research in the past four decades and suggests future research roadmaps. By compiling a map of scholarly publications on energy transition, this study uses the PRISMA technique and bibliometric software like VOS-viewer, cite-space, and R-Biblioshiny to map the research findings of scholarly publications listed in Scopus and Web of Science during 1981–2021. Our analysis shows that aspects like climate change, alternative energy, governance approach, and emission reduction are increasingly important. Further, areas that require future research include developing policy frameworks, energy infrastructure (storage and transfer), renewable energy ecosystem, clean energy economic analysis, and impact assessment for timely energy transition across the globe. Therefore, collaboration among nations and research institutions should be advanced with a particular focus on clean technology development and knowledge transfer for rapid energy transition across continents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100026"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791622000240/pdfft?md5=5aeef24840101f9c92f5063565a43897&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791622000240-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76771697","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}

It has been studied widely in developed countries and to some extent also in developing countries. This paper contributes to the latter by studying environmentally related SSCM practices in Jordanian manufacturing firms and provides a base for policy- and decision-makers as it assesses the current situation of the Jordanian manufacturing companies in terms of voluntarily adopting sustainable development practices or doing so under external pressure. This study aims to evaluate how adopting sustainable practices can affect economic performance in developing countries within the context of Jordanian manufacturing companies. Based on existing literature, a questionnaire was developed covering aspects of sustainability in internal and external supply chain practices, SSCM drivers, and company performance. A total of 92 responses were analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses using regression analyses to test the single-variable hypotheses, and structural equation modeling to test the multivariate hypotheses. The results show that the adoption of SSCM practices is still in its initial stages for Jordanian manufacturers. Sustainability awareness is quite low, and Jordanian companies mostly do not seem to consider the environmental impacts of their manufacturing operations. The results also show a difference between manufacturing types: process industries were less likely to adopt SSCM practices voluntarily, while discrete industries were more likely to do so. Finally, for Jordanian manufacturers to compete in international markets, they should take further steps toward adopting sustainability. To enhance the investment potential of multinational companies, Jordan should take the advantages of the industrial parks/estates and adopt regulations that force manufacturers to adopt sustainability practices under external pressure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100005"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791622000033/pdfft?md5=4cc27ff6343261c5ce4cdd419dfc5cbc&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791622000033-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73623309","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}

A eudaimonic well-being approach might offer a new perspective to these discussions. This research aimed to understand the current state of the relationship between eudaimonic well-being and nature to establish whether sustainability can be conceptualized based on this perspective. In order to accomplish this aim, the study carried out a systematic literature review, using the ‘Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis’ method. The available literature was screened and the 50 articles selected through this process were mapped by means of bibliometric, methodological, and content analyses. This threefold analysis identified, for each article, the region where the empirical investigation took place; the main method used; key information about the relationship between eudaimonic well-being and nature; and the theories presented with the aim of explaining the reasons for the positive or negative relationships identified. The findings indicated that contact with nature, preservation behavior and nature interdependency were the three main aspects studied in the literature, in terms of the interactive relationship between eudaimonic well-being and nature. Considering that several studies identified a positive outcome from the contact with, preservation, and interdependence of nature, the research concluded that eudaimonic well-being is an important approach in support of the promotion of sustainable development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100255,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Production Letters","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666791622000057/pdfft?md5=7ce4981e5e7eed359a6bc63bc34c4b46&pid=1-s2.0-S2666791622000057-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85857069","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}

We present here a simple decontamination process for SPL, based on two-stage caustic/acidic leaching, and demonstrate how the recovered graphite may be fabricated into Li-ion electrodes. The recycled batteries are assessed against a commercial equivalent and it is found that the charge capacity increases with the thoroughness of decontamination treatment. The specific capacity of the recovered graphite is seen to compete with commercial graphite in terms of charge capacity retention. However, some residual contamination may contribute towards instability in the formed solid electrolyte interface (SEI) which requires future resolution.

In the lagging countries, there is significant potential for sustainable value creation, however large investment gaps need to be closed. Entering a new market for wind power Original Equipment Manufacturers is complex and requires a prediction of the future market size. Quantitative research to promote wind power internationalization is scarce. The objective of this paper is therefore to estimate the market size by predicting the probability of commercial wind development in the lagging countries. The purpose is to help the Original Equipment Manufacturers in their market entry decisions. The second purpose is to provide an example how to reduce risk required to close the Sustainable Development Goals financing gap. Using a binary logistic regression model based on technological path creation theory, the probability for the 39 lagging countries to enter the wind power commercialization stage was predicted. Results show that 12 of the lagging countries have a high probability to commercialize wind energy. A new simulation-based approach was presented to stimulate wind power market entry.

Data of forest area in 1993 and 2010 and a Tier-2 emission factor were used to obtain the baseline emissions in closed forest, open forest, undifferentiated open forest, and high shrubs. Carbon stocks in four carbon pools were considered. Loss of closed forest emitted approximately 7.2 TgCO₂ year⁻¹, while increase in areas of other forest categories resulted in carbon sequestration of approximately 2.6 TgCO₂ year⁻¹ between 1993 and 2010. Depending on the chosen approaches, FRELs in Afghanistan can range from 1.3 TgCO₂ year⁻¹ for retrospective approach to as high as 2.3 TgCO₂ year⁻¹ for prospective approach between 2020 and 2030. Enhancement of carbon stocks and reducing deforestation could achieve emission reductions amounting up to 36.4% of the total emissions in Afghanistan.
