Summary: This study examines the relationship between human capital, ICT, financial inclusion, and CO2 emissions in China. The findings suggest that higher literacy rates and average years of schooling can reduce CO2 emissions, while digital financial inclusion leads to increased emissions. The study highlights the importance of environmental education and suggests policies to promote a green economy.

Summary: Silvopastoral systems, which combine wood perennials with forage and livestock, are important for biodiversity conservation and bio-cultural heritages. This study investigates the attitudes and opinions of livestock farmers and forest owners towards wood pasture grazing in Spain and finds that production objectives are related to positive attitudes towards silvopastoralism and the environmental functions it provides. The study also suggests that there is potential for synergy between cattle farmers and small forest owners in joint silvopastoral management.

Summary: CRISPR-based cancer dependency maps have revealed unique vulnerabilities of RIT1-mutant lung cancer cells, particularly to loss of spindle assembly checkpoint regulators, synergies with YAP1, and increased sensitivity to Aurora A inhibitors. These findings suggest potential therapeutic targets for RIT1-mutant lung cancer in the RAS pathway, spindle assembly checkpoint, and Hippo/YAP1 network.

Summary: Modern environmental problems require integrated management to address their complex interdependencies. Research shows that highly biophysically interdependent issues with high public attention and progress are more likely to be managed through integration. Regional-scoped, specialized, and non-profit actors are also more likely to manage environmental interdependencies.

Summary: Some bacteria can produce nanoscale particles that remain attached to their surface, forming a biological nanoparticle hybrid (bionanohybrid). These hybrids have new or enhanced biological functions and offer potential applications in biotechnology. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling bionanohybrid formation and occurrence are still poorly understood.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between environmental information disclosure and residents' satisfaction in rural areas. The empirical results show that environmental information disclosure has a significant positive impact on residents' satisfaction with environmental governance, and this impact occurs through residents' evaluation of the surrounding ecological environment. Additionally, residents' knowledge of environmental protection moderates the relationship between environmental information disclosure and satisfaction.

Summary: This study describes and evaluates 16 cases of blockchain-based technologies and voluntary sustainability standards in agro-food supply chain. It finds that the relationship between them can be coexisting, synergistic, or antagonistic. The study explains each type of relationship and shows that system architecture and implementation goals are key determinants of this relationship.

Summary: Addressing humanity’s social-environmental challenges requires collective action from relevant actors, making their involvement in the policy process necessary and promising. This article reviews insights from lab experiments, case studies, and frameworks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential impacts, mechanisms, challenges, and recommendations for participatory policy interventions. The findings indicate that such interventions can foster collective action by crafting suitable institutional arrangements and addressing actors’ attributes relevant to collective action.

Summary: Small island jurisdictions face unique circumstances and challenges in designing and implementing environmental regulatory systems to protect their ecological, geophysical, and natural resources. These systems have evolved from legislative mandates to address complex environmental challenges. The executing agencies that enforce regulations face manpower and technical capacity challenges, transparency issues, and legal challenges. Future studies in this area can contribute to regulatory theory and practice.

Summary: This article examines the roles of two partnerships in governing the Amboseli landscape in Kenya and discusses the intrinsic link to power and politics. The research findings show that these partnerships have complemented each other in landscape governance, but have only partially managed to bridge conflicting conservation and development discourses.
