“…However, the trend is shifting now, and some recent research has focused on the chief executive officer (CEO) and its role in transparency and accountability [7]. Under this prism, researchers have tried to link sustainability and CEO traits (e.g., power, educational background, political ideology, gender, age, experience, personality, media exposure, religiosity, leadership style, and experience) [8][9][10].…”

The current study analyzed whether the enhancement in managerial ability accelerates the environmental, social, and economic sustainability practices or not. Using panel data methodology on Chinese listed firms data from 2010 to 2019, we report that CEOs’ managerial ability impacts the overall (environmental, social, and economic) sustainability practices of the firms positively. Moreover, we find that social sustainability and economic sustainability also increase with the increase of the CEO’s managerial ability in the firm. The results remain robust after several alternative empirical tests. The findings justify the relationship between management skills and sustainability and demonstrate how each one of the sustainability pillars is affected individually. The support for sustainability practices that can be achieved through the communication of management skills is an essential conclusion for practitioners. Findings establish the link between CEO’s managerial ability and environmental, social, and economic sustainability performance by taking insights from upper echelon theory.

“…Despite being a worry on a global scale, the implications of human-caused climate change vary depending on the location, system, family, and community. Because of this, the susceptibility of each object varies ( Adger and Kelly, 1999 ; Adger et al, 2004 , 2006 ; Zahid and Khurshid, 2018 ; Zahid et al, 2022a , b ). This has led some researchers to advocate using local assessments to gauge a region’s vulnerability to climate change ( Deressa et al, 2009 ; Below et al, 2012 ).…”

The present study was conducted in one of the major agriculture areas to check farmers indigenous knowledge about the impacts of floods on their farming lives, food security, sustainable development, and risk assessment. In the current study, primary data was used to analyze the situation. A semi-structured questionnaire was distributed among farmers. We have collected a cross-sectional dataset and applied the PLS-SEM dual-stage hybrid model to test the proposed hypotheses and rank the social, economic, and technological factors according to their normalized importance. Results revealed that farmers’ knowledge associated with adaption strategies, food security, risk assessment, and livelihood assets are the most significant predictors. Farmers need to have sufficient knowledge about floods, and it can help them to adopt proper measurements. A PLS-SEM dual-stage hybrid model was used to check the relationship among all variables, which showed a significant relationship among DV, IV, and control variables. PLS-SEM direct path analysis revealed that AS (b = −0.155; p 0.001), FS (b = 0.343; p 0.001), LA (b = 0.273; p 0.001), RA (b = 0.147; p 0.006), and for FKF have statistically significant values of beta, while SD (b = −0.079NS) is not significant. These results offer support to hypotheses H1 through H4 and H5 being rejected. On the other hand, age does not have any relationship with farmers’ knowledge of floods. Our study results have important policy suggestions for governments and other stakeholders to consider in order to make useful policies for the ecosystem. The study will aid in the implementation of effective monitoring and public policies to promote integrated and sustainable development, as well as how to minimize the impacts of floods on farmers’ lives and save the ecosystem and food.

“…A growing body of literature has discussed the volatility spillover from energy consumption to stock markets in developed and developing countries [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. e primary study in this regard was stepped by Hamilton [15] by focused on the impact of oil prices on the economy of the U.S. and found that sharp fluctuation in oil prices has a significant impact on the economy.…”

The proportionate use of energy represents economic activity as well as environmental degradation. This study intends to examine the volatility spillover of environmental fluctuations (energy prices) to the stock markets of south Asian countries (i.e., Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan). In this regard, the data have been gathered from the Thomson Reuters DataStream from 2013 to 2021. This study has applied the Granger causality test and ARCH-GARCH (1, 1). It concludes that the bidirectional causality exists between the environmental prices (i.e., energy market) and Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India stock markets (BSE-100, DSE-30, and KSE-100, respectively). The empirical findings of this study show that there are volatility spillovers from the energy to the stock markets of Pakistan and India. On the other hand, no volatility spillover is observed from the energy to the stock market of Bangladesh. Moreover, the study implies that investors should invest in these stock markets to reduce the risk involved with diversification.
