Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Biodiversity and Human Values

Biodiversity and Human Values

Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Economics
Sociology

Background:

Growing recognition of women's crucial role in environmental initiatives.
Understanding the unique perspectives and contributions of women in sustainability.
Identifying challenges women face in leading sustainable efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate the link between female participation and corporate environmental stewardship.
Analyze the impact of female representation in ownership and management on environmental initiatives.
Examine the role of developing economies in this nexus.

Main Methods:

Utilized empirical data from the 2023 World Bank Enterprise Survey in seven developing countries.
Quantified environmental initiatives using proxies: energy consumption, CO2 monitoring, CO2 control, and ISO 14000 certification.
Measured female corporate representation via ownership and top managerial positions, employing regression analysis with country-fixed effects.

Main Results:

Female representation in ownership and top management correlates with minimized corporate environmental initiatives.
Women's underrepresentation in the corporate sector is linked to financial challenges, limited institutional support, and discrimination.
These barriers hinder women's active engagement in environmental efforts.

Conclusions:

Reducing gender inequality and enhancing business opportunities can support environmental initiatives.
Financial support and improved institutional backing are crucial for women's engagement in corporate environmental stewardship.
Policy interventions aimed at gender equality can positively influence sustainable business practices in developing countries.
