While sustainability considerations are becoming more widespread in the financial sector, the connection between ESG performance and financial depth remains inadequately explored. This highlights the importance of investigating and understanding the interaction between these factors, as such an analysis would provide significant value to market participants. The study analyses sustainability-related reports disclosed by 26 banks operating in the Central European region (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) covering the 2017–2023 period, in response to increasing regulatory expectations. The research uses content analysis methodology to create a specific ESG Disclosure index and panel regression to enhance the robustness of our findings.</div><div>The results show that banks have significantly improved their sustainability disclosures, although the establishment of ESG risk management framework has not progressed sufficiently. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between ESG performance and financial depth, underscoring the potential trade-off between sustainability efforts and financial system expansion. This suggests that achieving net-zero economy by 2050 may require more robust regulatory interventions to reconcile these dynamics. Furthermore, the positive relationship between economic growth and ESG performance highlights the pivotal role of financial institutions not only in driving growth but also in supporting sustainability initiatives.

This demands the active participation of multiple stakeholders (citizens, waste managers, informal sectors and other governing bodies) at different levels of MSW management. It is equally essential to ensure that diverse and often conflicting priorities, such as environmental sustainability, economic feasibility, technological viability, and social acceptance, are effectively balanced. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) models such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can address these challenges by systematically evaluating various MSW management strategies based on multiple performance indicators. This study proposes an AHP-based decision-support framework to evaluate the existing MSW management practices for Chandigarh city. A survey-driven selection process identified key criteria, including social, economic, environmental, and technical factors. Five MSW management alternatives were assessed using these criteria, with household-level composting and collector-level anaerobic digestion (AD), followed by sanitary landfill disposal, emerging as the most suitable option. The findings provide practical insights for policymakers, advocating for decentralized composting, enhanced infrastructure for AD facilities, and policy incentives to promote sustainable MSW management practices. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the robustness of the ranking results obtained using the proposed AHP framework. Therefore, it is conclusive that the proposed framework ensures data-driven, transparent decision-making efficiency and can be replicated in other urban regions to enhance MSW treatment efficiency and landfill diversion. The findings from the study can serve as a benchmark for future research on integrating dynamic models with alternative MCDA methods to improve decision-making processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101228"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information obtained from 198 respondents of four different river bank areas namely Shonadanga, Gollamari, Mohammadnagar and Sachibunia of Khulna district are analyzed in this study. In light of the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), a double bounded dichotomous choice model is used to discover the influential factors of respondents' WTP. Around eighty three percent of the respondents said they would like to take part in the Mayur river's water quality improvement program. Although the respondents' preferences for improving the quality of the water show variability, the mostly preferred scenario consists of the third highest improvements of river related attributes among the four improvement scenarios presented to them. Among various predictors, the respondents' years of schooling, monthly household income and living distance from the river are the variables that have statistically significant effect to the change in WTP for improvement program. The mean WTP of the respondents is around BDT 312 (USD 2.57), though the socially and economically optimal tariff rate is BDT 300 (USD 2.47). Only a few of the respondents expressed protest responses and genuine zero responses against this water quality improvement program. In summary, this study finds that majority of the residents close to the river are willing to improve the river water with an affordable cost.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101234"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this purview, this paper delves into the interplay among digitalization, energy transformation, and carbon dependency, utilizing Chinese country-level data spanning from 2005 to 2021. Recognizing potential variations in emission reduction policies over time, we employ the wavelet spectrum, wavelet local multiple correlation, wavelet coherence and machine learning methods for a comprehensive exploration. The outcomes of the wavelet spectrum analysis offer a visual depiction of the variable dynamics over time, furnishing substantial underpinning for discerning their intricate behaviors. Simultaneously, the findings from the wavelet local multiple correlation and wavelet coherence analyzes underscore disparities in the impacts of digitalization and energy transformation on carbon dependency across different temporal intervals and frequencies. Specifically, digitalization intensifies carbon dependency in the short to medium term (below 8 band), while both digitalization and energy transformation significantly reduce carbon dependency in the long term (above 16 band), demonstrating a dynamic correlation among these variables. Furthermore, the results derived from the machine learning tests demonstrate that the influence of digitalization and energy transformation on carbon dependency reveal time-varying effects, digitalization exacerbates carbon dependency within the threshold range of −0.5 to 0.8, whereas energy transformation effectively reduces carbon dependency beyond the threshold of 0.3. This research investigates the complex interrelations among digitalization, energy transformation, and carbon dependency, providing essential experiences and lessons that are applicable to green and sustainable development efforts worldwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101226"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For pollutants with a higher spillover potential, local governments are inclined to adopt an “imitation” strategy, while for those with a lower spillover potential, a “differentiated” strategy is preferred. Economic pressures and official tenure hinder the efficacy of environmental regulations in mitigating pollution, whereas stronger governmental anti-corruption measures enhance the regulatory impact on pollution reduction.
