Current frameworks for sustainability assessments often lack the integration of both social and environmental considerations for product-specific assessment. This study explores the usability of existing frameworks designed for both social and environmental assessments, with a focus on their application at the product level. Based on the development of usability criteria and applying a waterfall selection process, we identified two frameworks (Food System Sustainable framework and Sustainable Nutrition Security framework) for further analysis. To test against usability, both frameworks were applied towards a case study of seven food products produced in Norway: milk, greenhouse tomatoes, greenhouse cucumbers, wheat, beef, sheep and pork. The criteria included the following: data availability, data correctness, ease of use, transparency, effectiveness or relevance, and complexity of use. The selected frameworks provided a holistic and comprehensive approach to assessing social and environmental sustainability. However, their usability was limited due to lower data accuracy and a lack of user-friendliness for researchers, who were the primary target user group. The study revealed a trade-off: frameworks with higher usability tended to sacrifice depth and comprehensiveness in the information provided about food products. Both frameworks faced significant challenges in distinguishing social and ethical issues at the product level, largely due to data limitations. These findings underscore the need for the development of a purpose-built framework that accounts for these trade-offs, while enhancing usability, is essential to progress toward a more sustainable food supply chain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36171,"journal":{"name":"Environmental and Sustainability Indicators","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100593"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143180547","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}

By employing fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and canonical cointegrating regression (CCR) estimation methods and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) for robustness, we conclude that energy productivity discourages the use of renewable energy among European countries, having a negative effect on the utilization of said energy estimated at a decrease of renewable energy use by 0.24% for each 10% increase in energy productivity. On the other hand, the transition process toward less fossil fuel-dependent energy contributes to a greater utilization of renewable energy, with a 0.11% increase for each 10% increase in the use of renewable energy over fossil fuels. Within this analytical framework, we observe that the positive correlation between energy productivity and environmental sustainability does not stem from an uptick in renewable energy integration. Instead, it arises from a reduction in energy inputs within the broader productivity framework. Concurrently, the transition towards greener energy landscapes aims not merely to curtail overall energy consumption but to initiate a strategic process of substituting conventional fuel sources with renewable alternatives, thereby fostering environmental enhancement through energy source diversification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36171,"journal":{"name":"Environmental and Sustainability Indicators","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100573"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143180318","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}

Smaller AGs areas showed lower spatial aggregation and survival rates. Additionally, this study found that AGs have a significant impact on the environment. Increased spatial concentration and longer durations of AGs were linked to more significant reductions in albedo and EVI, along with more pronounced increases in LST. In summer and spring, AGs significantly boosted LST, while in autumn and winter, they significantly reduced albedo. AGs play a crucial role in supporting crop growth during autumn and winter.

In the assessment of flood risk, the future values of six dynamic urban flood indicators are first projected using an integrative geoprocessing and random forest machine learning algorithm. The projected future indicator values are subsequently used to assess urban flood risk across Bangkok's 50 districts. The six dynamic indicators of urban flood risk are average monthly rainfall, wet days, vegetation cover, population density, flood waste, and anti-flood infrastructure. The findings indicate a steady increase in average monthly rainfall and wet days, highlighting the need for improved floodwater drainage systems and flood resilience. Ongoing urbanization and decreasing vegetation cover exacerbate flood risks. Densely populated areas remain highly susceptible to flooding, underscoring the significance of effective population and waste management strategies. This study also proposes three-timescale urban flood mitigation plans (10-, 20- and 30-year plans) to mitigate future urban flood risk, focusing on short-, medium-, and long-term measures.

The Chinese government has implemented a series of measures to adapt to climate change in alignment with national economic and social development plans, yielding positive outcomes. Based on relevant theories, practices, and domestic and international strategic arrangements, we have developed an assessment indicator system from dual-dimension, encompassing both the adaptive stage and the adaptive sector, to assess China's progress in adapting to climate change over the period from 2010 to 2022. This system encompasses indicators related to the impacts of climate change, work progress indicators, effectiveness indicators, among others. The preliminary assessment reveals that since 2010, the influence of climate risks on China has exhibited an upward trajectory. Notably, China has continuously advanced its efforts in promoting adaptation concepts; enhancing monitoring and early warning systems; implementing disaster prevention and mitigation strategies; addressing public health concerns; while significantly improving adaptive capacities within key areas such as agriculture, forestry ecosystems; water resources management; infrastructure development. These endeavors have resulted in substantial adaptation effects and enhanced resilience. Looking ahead, this study will track the progress of climate adaptation actions in China, deepen the analysis of the sensitivity and relevance of adaptation actions, and aim to propose quantitative scientific methods to provide decision support for climate adaptation strategies. Horizontal gap analysis with countries shows that China's climate risks are higher than the global average. China's adaptive capacity and effectiveness still lag behind the international advanced values in 4 areas: disaster prevention, agriculture, forestry and ecology, and freshwater and Marine. In the areas of public health and infrastructure, China has reached or even exceeded the international advanced level. Future research should address issues such as incorporating adaptation costs into the indicator system, establishing long-term monitoring mechanisms for dynamic adjustments, developing local-level indicators, and analyzing the sensitivity and correlation of adaptation actions to enhance the scientific support for climate change adaptation work.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36171,"journal":{"name":"Environmental and Sustainability Indicators","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100613"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098950","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}
