The role of sustainability and sustainable development in climate change mitigation and adaptation

Today, the best way to discern the interlinkages between climate change and sustainability and/or sustainable development is the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13—Climate Action framework. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in 2015 presents a shared blueprint for the peace and prosperity of humanity and the planet both now and in the future. At its core lies the 17 SDGs covering the 169 targets by constituting calls for urgent action in global partnership among developed and developing nations. Within this scope, countries acknowledge the imperative need to engage in strategies that simultaneously eradicate poverty and other deprivations, combat climate change, safeguard oceans, forests, and biodiversity, improve health and education, reduce inequality, and promote sustainable and climate-resilient economic growth. This article will briefly evaluate the various geographical, environmental, educational, and social dimensions of sustainable and climate-resilient socioeconomic development, considering the nexus between combating climate change and adaptation to climate change, as well as the adverse effects of climate change.

Planned versus instinctive behaviour: The connection between personality and food waste

Personality may influence food waste through planned as well as instinctive behaviour. Considerable attention has been devoted to planned behaviour because instincts are difficult to measure using attitudes, behaviours, and intentions. Our study intends to include the instinctive side of behaviour. We used a survey of 339 Swiss households regarding the amount of food waste generated to explore the pathways of how personality influences food waste behaviour. A regression analysis showed that agreeableness and conscientiousness are negative predictors of the amount of food waste. However, the different behaviour of conscientious consumers can be explained by an intermediate variable, whereas the different behaviour of agreeable people can’t. This lacking link can be due either to missing suitable intermediate variables or to the role of instinctive behaviour.

Abstract

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability requires us to utilize resources in a reasonable way, protect the environment, and promote social and economic development without compromising the survival and development of future generations. And sustainability is not only relevant to environmental issues but also to humans’ economic and social issues. Specifically, sustainability encompasses a wide range of issues and has a tight relationship with humans. This issue, which includes ten original research pieces and one review article, takes readers on an intriguing journey across environmental, social, and economic issues about sustainable development. The research topic in this issue is novel and practical, providing readers with the most recent sustainable development trends in a variety of fields.
