A multilevel analysis of the perception and behavior of Europeans regarding climate change

Machine learning application to assess deforestation and wildfire levels in protected areas with tourism management

“…As a theoretical contribution, our study shows that socioeconomic factors related to the management of PAs are not dissociated from environmental goods, such as the exploitation of natural resources (Acquah et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2022Silva et al, , 2023. In other words, manageable tourism can be an ally in the effective management, monitoring, and governance of protected areas (Gazoni & Brasileiro, 2021).…”

“…In PAs across Brazil, for example, the increase in wildfires was 24.5% between 2019 and 2020 (Brazil, 2020). These data raise national and international concern, as the country has made commitments at global-level environmental agendas in terms of biodiversity and carbon emissions (Loyola, 2014;Mackey et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2023), the non-compliance to which causes damage to climate regimes in other regions and countries (Arraut et al, 2012). In this context, despite being established with the aim of improving the performance of countries in combating these threats, PAs carry natural wealth, generating strong economic interest, meaning they are not exempt from facing these threats (Gazoni & Brasileiro, 2021).…”

Can the ocean economy in Brazil become blue?

“…Finally, tourism sector is characterized by its complexity since it encompasses a variety of activities, products and services, such as hospitality, food, access infrastructure, recreation, water sports and marinas (Câmara et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2022). Thus, tourism represents an important economic and social activity that generates impacts throughout its supply chain (Silva, 2023a;Soares et al, 2020). It is essential that management of the tourism sector be based on sustainability principles and consider aspects related to environmental preservation and cultural identity (Santos and Carvalho, 2020;Marroni and da Silva, 2015).…”

“…Therefore, the BE is necessarily associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established in the 2030 Agenda action plan. The 17 SDGs are the result of an agreement among multiple stakeholders from participating countries, marking a historic and effective global movement to achieve a set of shared social, economic and environmental priorities (Sachs, 2012;Silva, 2023a). Lee et al (2020) observe that the SDGs are aligned to some extent with the BE since there is a collective effort across countries to ensure better conditions for sustainable development in the oceans.…”
