This research investigates the influence of irrigated planters, containing climbing and shrub plants, on the microclimate of an experimental street canyon in Montpellier, France, monitored with a dense sensor network. The analysis focused on two heatwave days in August 2023, representative of the Mediterranean climate. Results show that under low wind speeds (<1 m s<sup>−1</sup>), air temperature variability was mainly controlled by the distribution and intensity of solar radiation. Vegetation had a buffer and retardation effect on the warming of the nearby air regions, with mean air temperature difference between the vegetated and non-vegetated reference zones ranging from −0.17 to 0.44 °C. Comparisons between plant types indicated slightly higher air temperatures (−0.15 to 0.62 °C) and relative humidity increases (1.73 to 1.99 %) near climbing plants compared to shrubs. Irrigation produced no detectable short-term effect on air temperature, while only marginally increasing relative humidity. Thermal comfort assessment using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) confirmed that vegetation and irrigation altered microclimatic dynamics but did not substantially reduce heat stress levels for pedestrians. Instead, radiative effects of vegetation and the morphology of the canyon—through shading and surface temperature reduction—were the dominant drivers of thermal comfort modulation in the canyon.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100318"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145519709","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}

In parallel, research and practice in disaster resilience increasingly highlight the importance of moving beyond top-down models toward approaches that foster local leadership, strengthen participatory governance, and build adaptive capacity. While PGM aligns with these shifts, most documented examples focus on philanthropic or social justice contexts. There is limited empirical research on how community-led PGM functions in disaster recovery settings or how it contributes to long-term community resilience. This article contributes both theoretical and practical insights by examining a community-led grantmaking initiative established in response to the 2019–20 bushfires in Cobargo, New South Wales, Australia. Through a co-produced case study of the Cobargo Community Bushfire Recovery Fund (CCBRF), we explore how PGM can serve not only as a funding mechanism but also as a relational and resilience-building practice. We identify factors that enabled or constrained implementation and show how community-led PGM helped strengthen key resilience capacities, including local leadership, collaborative decision-making, and social and economic capital. In doing so, the article responds to calls from communities, governments, disaster management agencies, and scholars for place-based investment models that support self-determination and local capability. We conclude that community-led grantmaking offers a scalable and context-responsive framework for operationalising resilience – when grounded in local practice and structurally supported by inclusive policy and institutional settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100321"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145519733","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}

In this study, we analysed the influence of these macro-environmental factors by reviewing 143 publications, interviewing 19 key informants, and participating in 8 related events across four African countries (Algeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, and South Africa). We employed the macroenvironment analysis framework called PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Ecological, and Legal) to analyse the influence of these factors supplemented by polycentric governance and socio-technical transition theories. Our findings revealed that while PESTEL factors dominate the discourse, historical legacies, institutional instability, and emergent cross-sectoral factors also play critical roles. Accordingly, we expanded the PESTEL framework to HPESTELI+, incorporating Historical (H), Institutional (I), and a flexible ‘+’ dimension to capture context-specific influences. The HPESTELI+ framework offers a comprehensive diagnostic tool for policymakers and practitioners to identify cross-cutting and context-specific factors that support sustainable tree planting. We argue that a holistic understanding of these macro-environmental factors is crucial for enhancing governance and the long-term sustainability of tree planting schemes in Africa and beyond.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100302"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144922456","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}

Another perspective (termed “alternative sustainability”) focuses on how the groups identify local sustainability problems without necessarily opposing the need for a broader energy transition. To evaluate the perspectives, a data set of opposition groups to large-scale solar in the US and UK was built. Variables for frame types were derived from two types of sources: for the anti-sustainability perspective, statements by conservative groups that oppose national energy-transition goals, and for the alternative sustainability perspective, the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) as they relate to local sustainability issues. There was evidence for both theoretical perspectives, but concerns associated with the alternative sustainability discourse perspective were more frequent than those associated with anti-sustainability discourse perspective. Differences were also identified between the US and UK groups, and a qualitative analysis of cases showed how the salience of the two perspectives varies across groups. The study suggests the need for attention to variation when characterizing the politics of opposition groups and for the use of both perspectives.
