“…It is believed that public favour can be achieved by satisfying society overall; this is in line with the theory of reasoned action, which suggests that people are motivated to perform behaviour which will improve personal gain, and perceived behavioural control also plays a role here as explained by the theory of planned behaviour because it assesses how much control consumers have on their actions and how much of it is influenced by external factors (Palm et al 2020 ). Regarding the current study, Wee et al ( 2021 ) observed that purchasing environmentally friendly products can be seen as noble, indicating to society that the individual is displaying pro-social and pro-environmental behaviour and will help the individual in improving their social status.…”

As the global warming crisis is increasing daily, it is crucial to find ways to reduce the carbon footprint generated by activities like the production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services. This empirical study has looked at one approach through which environment-friendly production and consumption can be encouraged. The developed model has studied the relationship between retailers’ access to green finance and consumer purchase intention of green products by incorporating the role of environmental, status, and future consciousness. Theoretical foundations for this model have been taken from the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and theory of reasoned action (TRA), which have extensively discussed the role of consciousness and societal norms while making purchase intentions. To gain insights about the purchasing behaviour of consumers, this study collected data from the Jiangsu province of China, where a non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to distribute a questionnaire to 400 respondents between February 2022 and August 2022. The collected data was analysed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in SmartPLS in order to study the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Results of this study show that retailers’ access to green finance positively impacts consumer purchase intention towards green products, and adding a consciousness perspective in the model strengthens this relationship. Moreover, the theory of planned behaviour and the theory of reasoned action were validated through this study, providing insights for policymakers on the importance of promoting green finance to influence green product purchase intention. Overall, this study shows that policymakers should give green financing to retailers and environmental and future awareness to consumers to encourage environment-friendly behaviour.

“…Nudging has been acknowledged as a successful strategy to bring together aim and action in facilitating behavioural change (Momsen & Stoerk, 2014). When applying a nudging intervention, it is important to consider the characteristics of the particular group as well as the current environmental setting to achieve the best results (Wee et al, 2021). The foundation of a country's soft power is its culture, values and policies.…”

Land-use change, globalisation and climate change are rapidly altering wildlife-livestock-human interfaces, increasing the rate of disease emergence and spread. To combat these risks, land managers and policymakers at all scales are increasingly aligning their activities with the One Health framework: "an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals, and ecosystems". One Health policy should explicitly incorporate protected and conserved areas (PCAs), because PCAs are widespread and important wildlifelivestock-human interfaces. PCAs vary in their priorities, resources, disease risks and other challenges, so there is an urgent need for research, funding and support that will allow PCA managers and planners to implement contextspecific actions for minimising, mediating and monitoring infectious disease risks. This will require collaborations between health and environment ministries and PCA managers of all kinds. Therefore, IUCN WCPA has established a two-year Task Force on Protected Areas and One Health. Following careful evaluation, the Task Force will make recommendations regarding how WCPA and PCA managers can maintain or improve efforts to integrate One Health, and how One Health policy can better incorporate PCAs -both urgent needs for reducing the spread of pathogens among wildlife, domestic animals, and people.

“…We also recognize that, in isolation, changing the social context is insufficient for effectively reversing the declines in freshwater biodiversity. However, the evidence increasingly suggests that influencing human perceptions, values, and behaviors is an important pre-condition for advancing conservation actions (e.g., Byerly et al, 2018;Maynard et al, 2020;Wee et al, 2021), providing the impetus for and acceptance of the broader suite of actions required to elicit biodiversity recovery (e.g., Arthington, 2021;Tickner et al, 2020;van Rees et al, 2020). Here, we outline what these diverse groups can do to run a good race together in a way that leads to a win for freshwater biodiversity, and a win for humanity (Figure 3, Table 1).…”

Freshwater habitats are experiencing two to three times the rate of biodiversity loss of terrestrial and marine habitats. As status quo actions within the conservation community are not reversing the downward trajectory for freshwater biodiversity, we propose four actions to shift the narrative such that freshwater biodiversity is no longer invisible and overlooked, but rather explicitly recognized, valued, and protected: (1) Reshape our relationship with freshwater habitats and biodiversity, (2) Appreciate indigenous knowledge systems relating to freshwater habitats, (3) Connect science more directly to action, and (4) Elevate freshwater habitats as a unique “domain” that requires explicit recognition in conservation planning (RACE). We highlight roles that both freshwater scientists and the wider conservation community can play in implementing the four actions such that the “RACE” can be won.
