As economic and environmental challenges increasingly intersect, it becomes critical to explore youth's environmental engagement during recession, particularly among Generation-Z, a cohort noted for its environmental-consciousness. Here, we used Affective Events Theory (AET) to develop and test an integrative-model exploring how the cognition of post-COVID-19 economic recession, in terms of its relevance and ability to cope, influenced Pro-Environmental Behaviors (PEBs) across multiple spheres. In doing so, the study extends AET beyond its established organizational and health applications to the economic-environmental nexus. A particular contribution of the model is the incorporation of financial-sphere PEBs, a dimension often sidelined for younger cohorts in behavioral research and policy discourses. We analyzed survey data from 320 Generation-Z respondents in six major Pakistani cities using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling and found that recession relevance amplifies both positive and negative affective reactions, while coping ability reduces positive but increases negative affect. These affective reactions mediate PEBs unevenly: strongest in public-sphere, while weakest in financial-sphere. Our results suggest that, to harness affective intensity during recessions for lasting sustainability gains, planners should channel youth emotions into structured forums such as climate-councils and community initiatives. Public engagement can be reinforced through civic-infrastructure, household and workplace practices through behavioral nudges, and financial-sphere engagement through microfinance, subsidies, and youth-friendly tariffs. Collectively, the findings offer insights for planners to ensure that economic adversity does not undermine Gen-Z's environmental engagement.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s43621-026-03982-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":34549,"journal":{"name":"Discover Sustainability","volume":"7 1","pages":"1583"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13597632/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149031608","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}

This mandate was the first stepping stone to restrict unplanned development and regulate tourist influx that can be sustained by the cities. Nainital, a major tourist destination in Uttarakhand, faces immense pressure on its urban infrastructure and service delivery, especially in the context of water and sanitation, due to the rising tourist influx. However, India lacks a national-level framework for assessing and managing the carrying capacity of the urban environment. This study, conducted by National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), develops a comprehensive framework for assessing carrying capacity by using key indicators, correction factor-based calculations, and temporal analysis. A mixed-method approach, including a systematic literature review, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs), was employed. According to the URDPFI Guidelines, while the city could theoretically accommodate 8,34,184 persons per day based on physical carrying capacity, the number reduced to 149,230 based on real carrying capacity, while the effective carrying capacity is limited to approximately 8,422 due to resource and service delivery constraints. The research offers policymakers a framework for sustainable water and sanitation management, aiding urban planning in ecologically sensitive areas.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s43621-026-02959-7.</p>","PeriodicalId":34549,"journal":{"name":"Discover Sustainability","volume":"7 1","pages":"1481"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13550081/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148913669","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}

In response, organic fertilizers are gaining increased attention for their dual role in supplying essential plant nutrients and serving as a climate change adaptation strategy. Among these, Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) frass has emerged as a promising organic alternative, offering a more affordable and environmentally friendly option than conventional fertilizers. However, its adoption remains uncertain, particularly among smallholder farmers in developing countries. This study assessed the market potential for BSFL frass in Malawi, where over 80% of farmers are smallholders. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research evaluated farmers' knowledge, acceptance, and willingness to pay (WTP) for BSFL frass. A double-bounded dichotomous choice model was used to elicit WTP, while the Market Driven Approach (MDA) quantified potential market demand. Findings revealed a considerable knowledge gap, yet strong willingness to adopt BSFL frass if priced affordably. On average, farmers were willing to pay 0.51 USD per kilogram, which is lower than the prevailing chemical fertilizer price of approximately 0.95 USD per kilogram. MDA analysis indicated significant market potential, with agro-dealers expressing unanimous willingness to stock BSFL frass given sufficient demand. The estimated market value stood at 474,587 USD per month for potential chemical fertilizer substitutes, and 11,993 USD for organic alternatives.

Animals farmed for food are both victims and contributors of climate change (CC), with animals suffering from heat stress due to CC but also being major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Livestock studies have demonstrated that novel breeding technologies could partly mitigate these negative effects, yet their wider implications for food security and the socio-economy are not well investigated yet. In this proof-of-concept study, we incorporate (1) the effects of heat stress on livestock's productivity and feed efficiency and (2) the use of genomic selection as a recently established novel breeding technology, into a global macroeconomic projection model (GMPM) to evaluate their broader impacts on food security. We find that both effects can drastically alter the model projections. In particular, the results suggest that novel breeding technologies can substantially mitigate the adverse effects of CC on production, food availability, land use, and GHG emissions, whilst also causing implications for the labour market. The study demonstrates the importance of integrating advances in livestock science and technology into GMPMs for better projections that inform livestock management, policy and consumer decision-making, requiring closer collaboration between livestock scientists and systems modellers.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s43621-026-04101-z.</p>","PeriodicalId":34549,"journal":{"name":"Discover Sustainability","volume":"7 1","pages":"1696"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13661643/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149184865","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}

Their widespread use, though beneficial, raises concerns about environmental and human health impacts across their entire life cycle spanning synthesis, manufacturing, use, and end-of-life. This review evaluates the scientific literature available, selected through structured keyword-based searches across major academic databases, focusing on studies relevant to AgNMs in textile applications. The analysis is framed by the 12 Green Chemistry Principles and the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework, a European policy initiative that promotes the integration of safety, sustainability, and functionality from early design stages. This review identifies the promising results of plant-based and enzymatic methods as safer and more sustainable options due to their reduced usage of toxic reagents and use of renewable sources. The manufacturing stage remains complex due to diverse integration methods, occupational exposure concerns, and inconsistent application of sustainability metrics. The use phase underscores environmental implications primarily from AgNM release during laundering, while direct human health risks remain comparatively low. Finally, the end-of-life stage reveals lower-than-anticipated ecological risks, largely due to effective sequestration of AgNMs in wastewater treatment sludges, although these demands a transition towards circular recovery strategies. The review highlights critical knowledge gaps in long-term environmental behaviour, exposure modelling, and standardization of performance metrics. Recommendations include expanding quantitative data collection, improving transparency in product labelling, and integrating circular recovery strategies. Advancements in SSbD frameworks, quantitative sustainability indicators, and EU-led initiatives provide actionable pathways to enhance stakeholder confidence and promote sustainable textile innovation.

Approaches to support systems thinking and understanding can be vital to achieving this goal. However, applying such systems thinking is often challenging, and we need to better reflect on the pros and cons of different approaches for building systems understanding and informing changes. In this paper, we first identify key attributes of systems thinking approaches from literature. We then use these as a framework for comparing and evaluating seven different systems thinking approaches, selected on the basis of our experience in applying them in support of the management and governance of various types of land systems. The seven approaches are: agent-based modelling, Bayesian belief networks, causal loop modelling, spatial multicriteria analysis, societal metabolic analyses, social network mapping and quantitative story telling. This framework has allowed us to appraise and reflect on our own experiences to identify the respective strengths and weaknesses of these different methodologies. We note that some of the ability to inform change depends as much on the context within which specific tools are used as the particular features of the tools themselves. Based on our appraisal, we conclude by suggesting six key recommendations that should be followed by others seeking to commission and use systems approaches, in order to enable them to support transformative change. We hope this may be useful to those working with systems approaches, since there is an urgent need for analytic efforts that can inform and enable transformative change. We also reiterate the call for sustained funding for long-term, standards-based evaluation of systems thinking approaches with respect to whether their use can demonstrate instrumental impacts leading to the kind of transformation the IPCC has called for, i.e. fundamental system change that goes beyond capacity development impacts such as network-building.</p>","PeriodicalId":34549,"journal":{"name":"Discover Sustainability","volume":"6 1","pages":"231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961505/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781617","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 2024 UK-South Africa workshop in Cape Town convened key stakeholders from human and animal health, environmental sciences, and food production to address these challenges. Discussions focused on integrating OH surveillance, leveraging Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for early outbreak detection, and improving food and water safety.

Stakeholder engagement, particularly within agricultural communities, was identified as critical for OH implementation. Participants highlighted the need for culturally sensitive engagement strategies, qualitative research methods, and policy reforms to drive adoption. Lessons from tuberculosis (TB) and HIV programs informed strategies for fostering compliance and integrating OH principles into veterinary education, particularly in antimicrobial stewardship. Challenges such as resource limitations, bioinformatics capacity gaps, and resistance to new technologies were addressed through recommendations for joint consortia, leveraging existing infrastructure, and targeted training. Aligning OH initiatives with consumer-driven concerns, such as water quality monitoring, was also identified as a key opportunity.

Therefore, this study investigated the long-term and short-term impacts of solid waste, urbanization, and pollution on under-five mortality, employing the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and the dynamic Autoregressive distributed lag (DARDL) models for the empirical investigations and robustness checks, respectively. The study found that there is significant cointegration between the interest variables. While key findings from the DARDL results revealed that pollution, urbanization, and solid waste have long-term significant positive impacts on under-five mortality in Nigeria, the short-run outcome shows that urbanization and solid waste had a significant positive impact on under-five mortality, while pollution was statistically insignificant. Moreover, lead exposure showed a significant long-term positive and short-term negative impact on under-five mortality in Nigeria. Furthermore, the DARDL simulations show higher long-run shocks and variations as compared to the short run. Thus, CO₂ emissions, urbanization, and solid waste encourage under-five deaths in Nigeria.
