“…There are explicit or implicit assumptions in some narratives about behaviours compatible with, or even assisting, deep decarbonisation. We agree with other research that finds social science approaches to understanding the complex dynamics of policy implementation for emissions reduction are not well integrated into climate scenarios (Hewitt et al, 2021). We suggest digitalisation pathway narratives should draw more on social sciences, with lessons for policy makers on governance of digitalisation of society that will maximise energy demand reduction.…”

“…Nonlinear social change acting as 'social tipping points' could help mitigate climate change (Otto et al, 2020), with (mostly government led) interventions to precipitate them; others consider the importance of civil society and social movements as agents of change (Smith, Christie and Willis, 2020). Hewitt et al (2021) 2013) consider the potential role of specific actors, and their influence on evolving pathways; they suggest being too focused on present actors' roles can miss disruptions and transformation inspired by visions and values. Overall, scenarios would do well to consider the magnitude and non-linearity of social changes they assume, including the precipitating events and actors' changing roles, and justify the plausibility of such changes and drivers of change.…”

“…We follow this approach (scaled for different geographical and sectoral applications [75], and regularly revised given the challenges it faces [76]), although we recognize that there are other possible approaches, e.g., those more focused on specific aspects of green growth, degrowth, equity, more radical social policies, certain technological visions, better reflection of the role of competition, relative scarcity of resources, climate change dynamics, and so on (see e.g., [77][78][79][80]). Accordingly, our study consists of five general scenarios based on the SSPs (1) SSP1 "Sustainability", taking the green road, the only one which, in principle, does not pose challenges for mitigation and adaptation; (2) SSP2 is the "middle of the road" scenario;…”

The food, energy, and water (FEW) nexus has gained increased attention, resulting in numerous studies on management approaches. Themes of resource use, and their subsequent scarcity and economic rents, which are within the application domain of the World Trade Model, are ripe for study, with the continuing development of forward- and backward-facing economic data. Scenarios of future food and energy demand, relating to supply chains, as well as direct and indirect resource uses, are modelled in this paper. While it is possible to generate a substantial number of economic and environmental scenarios, our focus is on the development of an overarching approach involving a range of scenarios. We intend to establish a benchmark of possibilities in the context of the debates surrounding the Paris Climate Agreement (COP21) and the Green New Deal. Our approach draws heavily from the existing literature on international agreements and targets, notably that of COP21, whose application we associate with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP). Relevant factor uses and scarcity rent increases are found and localized, e.g., on the optimal qualities of water, minerals, and land. A clear policy implication is that, in all scenarios, processes of energy transition, raw material use reduction, and recycling must be strengthened.

This paper investigates the correlation between the quality of corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and financial performance (FP). It also investigates the moderating role of chief executive officer power (CEOP) in the relationship between the quality of CSR disclosure and firm value (FV) in Chinese listed companies. The evidential research used the up-to-date sample (3, 248) of unbalanced findings for the period of 2014–2020, from the registered Chinese firms in the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges as samples for the study. As a starting point technique, the STATA 15 has been used to test pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression on a sample of Chinese listed companies. We use 1-year lagged regression and two SLS regressions to monitor the potential endogeneity problem. The imbalanced data set was received from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) web page, which is the most significant source of information for Chinese publicly listed firms. Data on CSR information items and media reporting are compiled manually. The findings of the study revealed that there are positive FP consequences for the companies engaged in the quality of CSR disclosure. We also report that higher CEO power negatively enhances the quality of CSR disclosure effect on the FP of FV. The research investigates the impact of CSR disclosure and FP by presenting evidence of the moderating role of CEO power. Therefore, it is suggested that a higher law for CSR engagement and disclosure be implemented in China, and robust measures for the implementation of CEO power, although there are financial advantages to be gained. A key relevance to the empirical quality of CSR disclosure research can be recognized as the moderating role of CEO power in the quality of CSR disclosure, FP, and FV in the context of Chinese study. The findings are robust with the use of an instrumental variable method.
