The issues of reliability of energy supply, the transition to energy-saving technologies, and the development of alternative energy are being updated. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state and develop ways to improve the management of the economy in environmental management and energy security on the principle of synergy to ensure the sustainable development of countries. The authors have proposed an economic model of sustainable development of environmental management and energy security. The authors identified sources of threats and risks, the occurrence of which may threaten the fuel and energy complex. This made it possible to develop a mechanism for reducing threats to energy security for the region’s economy and the population—Mechanism of economic management in environmental management and energy security. The authors have developed a Management decision matrix for managing the economy in environmental management and energy security.

According to old and new media, minimalists use less resources and appear as sustainable consumers. So there is much to be learned from minimalists who turned from regular consumers into use-intensive consumers in a matter of months. Minimalists change their own everyday practices and in doing so, they gain knowledge that is later disseminated through blogs, videos, books or talks and seminars. As sustainability and clothing is a growing research field more studies are needed to not only understand mainstream consumers and their practices but also more sustainable niche consumption and the change from one to the other. This article focuses on the sartorial everyday practices of the niche group of self-described minimalists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Wardrobe interviews have been conducted in direct presence of all clothing in 46 households. The results of the study document the minimalist learnings through an ongoing process of reducing material objects together with an intensification of the relationship to the remaining items. The process is analysed in the three phases of sorting, using and gaining that each contain varied patterns of the practices of knowledge appropriation, trying out and establishing new behaviour. Minimalists, we conclude, are important disseminators for sustainable change because they broadcast the necessary change in everyday practices on a personal bottom-up level.","PeriodicalId":275909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainability Research","volume":"04 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128134419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dorsey","doi":"10.20900/jsr20220003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20900/jsr20220003","url":null,"abstract":"This article proposes an alternative theoretical framework for architectural design and associated land use practices based on pragmatism and a “spectrum of sustainability”. The current normative and dominant discourses of environmental efficiency contribute to addressing the need to lower carbon emissions; however, the academic literature tends to overlook qualitative research of more sustainable natural building methods such as those using straw insulation and natural lime plasters. Given that this less conventional architectural design and building method has been shown to sequester carbon, why hasn’t straw bale building received more attention in the sustainable architecture discourse? A study of challenges and misperceptions regarding straw bale residential building lends insight to the need to take a pragmatic approach to more affordable residential development. Most building certification programs primarily target improved energy efficiency, yet the Living Building Challenge certification begins to evaluate the oft overlooked social factors and the biophilic environment. A brief recapitulation of quantitative analysis of embodied CO 2 levels/dwelling associated with self-help affordable housing programs addresses the immediate need to assess rising housing costs. An additional qualitative study using Architectural Education Strategies (AES) of the two existing straw bale buildings in Ogden, Utah involves evaluation of their educational values and illustrates a possible shift toward pragmatism in architecture. The qualitative analysis underscores the importance to salvage, reuse, and recycle building materials as a pragmatic way to reduce both CO 2 emissions and building costs. Review of building code adoption offers further understanding of the barriers to broader acceptance of this highly sustainable building method.","PeriodicalId":275909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainability Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129794735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SIA considered the material flows and processes along the respective supply chains in Finland and included environmental, economic, and social indicators. The greenhouse gas savings of various wood-based materials of the buildings were also compared with concrete elements. The boundary of the quantitative analysis was cradle-to-construction site and included the structural support system of the building. Primary data was collected from the material supply chain and manufacturing facilities and were used to develop the life cycle inventory database. Secondary data were also referenced for the selected indicators. The results indicated that the wood frame structure provided greater environmental benefits, being responsible for only one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions and two-thirds of the non-renewable energy consumption during building material sourcing to the construction site gate, compared to the reinforced concrete alternative. In terms of socioeconomic sustainability, the reinforced concrete alternative had higher production costs, but a lower labour intensity than wood. It was also found that non-fatal accidents occurred more often in the concrete supply chain, especially at the manufacturing facility, indicating that work safety was higher in the wood-alternative. In addition, the avoided greenhouse gas emission calculation showed that 159 kgCO 2 m –2 could end-of-life scenarios and the cascading use of wood to find further greenhouse gas emissions savings.","PeriodicalId":275909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainability Research","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127424863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the criteria and process for certification associated with sustainable building rating systems have been seen by many as either cumbersome or too expensive. As a result, some buildings are constructed following sustainable building guidelines without necessarily pursuing external certification. This paper takes a critical look at sustainable building without certification in the US and addresses 3 questions: (1) What is the rationale behind not pursuing certification? (2) When certification is not part of the objective, how are particular sustainability criteria selected? (3) To what extent do sustainable building projects that undergo certification differ from those that do not, and what are the potential implications for building performance? Methods : The study is based on a survey of thirty-two professionals in the building, engineering, and construction industries, followed by semi-structured interviews with nine participants about their experience with sustainable building certification. Results : The main rationale for not pursuing certification was associated with cost. The results also suggest that while buildings that have been formally certified may have higher capital costs, they are perceived more favorably with regard to brand reputation, marketability, credibility, meeting sustainability goals, building performance, and value to occupants than buildings without certification. Conclusions : This study provides insights into the implications of assessment-related decisions in building design and construction as we look to transform our societies into more sustainable, healthier, and livable places, and support global goals for sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":275909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainability Research","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125145918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because fish consumption is reportedly linked to overfishing and the generation of negative environmental consequences from fish farming. There have been calls to reduce fish consumption, which may have implications for fish intake and the drive to reduce childhood malnutrition in many developing countries. Here we assess the role of urbanization, income, fish prices, preferences, nutritional knowledge, and cultural attitudes in fish demand. We conducted analysis using the fixed effect model at three geographical scales: global—151 countries drawn from all continents that consume over 90% of global seafood supply; at the continental; and at the national scales, where we assessed seafood consumption in Nigeria, Portugal, Bangladesh and the United States. Our results suggest that at the global level, a 10% increase in disposable income leads to a 5% increase in fish consumption, although a 10% increase in domestic fish price leads to 8% decrease in fish consumption. In our continental level analysis, we found distinct drivers of seafood consumption across continents, for example, urbanization drives fish consumption in Africa, while domestic fish prices influence fish consumption in South America and Oceania regions.

Accounting for the BE has not yet been undertaken in African countries due to disparities in data collection related to social, economic, and ecological components of the BE; it is a critical factor in decision and/or policymaking associated with BE objectives. This review provides a conceptual understanding of blue accounting and outlines some of the best practices, lessons learned, and key policy messages in blue accounting systems. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Blue Economy Valuation Toolkit (BEVTK) recently paved the way for the development of an African national BE accounting system. The aim of the BEVTK was to build a tool capable of capturing and recording various dimensions of human interaction with the ‘blue environment’. It is organised around three easily comprehensible modules that address the above-mentioned dimensions. The toolkit has provided a meaningful overview of the BE in the Seychelles to better understand the economic importance of its industries and can capture changes in stocks of natural capital and ecosystem services. The main challenge is in collecting the necessary information needed to run the toolkit. The application of the BEVTK can therefore be seen as part of the preparatory phase for development of proper BE accounting which should be done in a unified way to ensure that all above-mentioned dimensions are taken into consideration within a customizable framework. Such a unified approach will allow comparisons between countries as data collection, analysis and presentation will be standardised.","PeriodicalId":275909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainability Research","volume":"232 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132949766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
