“…Article 2 of Forest Law No. 6831 (Gençay et al 2018) states that burned forestlands cannot be regarded as degraded forestlands and authorization to use of the forest purposes outside reforestation cannot be granted for a specific period of time.…”

“…The increase in forest crime gains momentum with the initiation of such legal regulations and with society's awareness of such legal processes (Elvan 2009). For instance, it is possible to state that there is a direct correlation between the law on the sales of degraded forestlands (generally known as 2/B lands, with a reference to Article 2 of the Forest Law; Gençay et al 2018) of 2012 and the increasing number of forest fires in 2013. Because the law gives the public the perception that deforestation is possible, forests may be degraded in time with the expectation that the degraded forests can be sold for profit in the future.…”

Background Because of climate and forest vegetation, Turkey has regions (particularly the Mediterranean and Aegean regions) that are vulnerable to forest fires. Approximately 2000 forest fires have occurred every year for the last 20 years, with at least 48% of them caused by humans. This percentage increases to 71% when the rates of fires of unknown causes are included. In this study, legislation on Turkish forest fires was analyzed based on the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO’s) guide, “Forest Fires and the Law.” The guide was prepared by expert lawyers and addresses the basic topics of definitions; institutional setup and interinstitutional coordination planning, monitoring, and assessment; prevention and preparedness; detection and early warning and suppression; participatory and community-based approaches to fire management; fire use; rehabilitation; and law enforcement. The objective of this study was to reveal the current status of Turkish forestry legislation and its practices based on the FAO guide. Results According to our analysis, Turkish forestry legislation has followed the FAO criteria 78.1% of the time. It is clear that effective regulations exist, with the Turkish Constitution being the foremost touchstone. The results illustrate that, no matter how strong the legislation is, a deficiency in administrative measures and a lack of public awareness make combating forest fires unsuccessful. Conclusions The areas that need to be improved have been determined to be definitions, participatory and community-based approaches to fire management, and creating a fire line. A focus on public participation and the social approach is needed.

“…However, organisations have different motivators to encourage their employees with sustainable practices (Raut, Narkhede, & Gardas, 2017). The organisations mainly work to maintain ease among their employees from the impacts that occurred due to environmental and social international contracts surrounded by regulatory frameworks of different groups, continents, the United Nations, and other bodies that inspire and circulate globally (Menezes, Filho, & Drigo, 2017;Gençay, Birben, & Durkaya, 2018;Kanstrup, Swift, Stroud, & Lewis, 2018;Quesada, Klenke, & Mejía-Ortíz, 2018).…”

“…Environmental sustainability has become one of the most critical factors for the existential survival of the planet and it has gained great momentum worldwide, especially in the UN member states. Governments, environment campaigners, corporations, consumers, and non-government organizations have paved the way for global awareness of environmental challenges and their management (Gençay et al, 2018 ; Kanstrup et al, 2018 ; Quesada et al, 2018 ). The 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC; seven to nine derived from the Earth Summit 1992) lay down guidelines for individuals, governments, and especially business corporations to promote environmental sustainability by incorporating strategies, policies, procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity to respond to challenges faced by people and the planet.…”

Environmental sustainability has gained great momentum worldwide especially in the United Nations (UN), governments, and corporations, and by those who promote global awareness of environmental challenges and are engaged in environmental management. Even as these stakeholders struggle hard, academia has actively engaged in an ongoing debate to make “green human resource management” an independent field of research and teaching. From the large body of academic literature, it has been observed that the field is yet in its embryonic stage in many developing countries such as Pakistan and there is insufficient knowledge on how universities face and manage environmental challenges. Hence, this study addressed this gap in the literature and measured the perception of public and private sector university managers regarding environmental sustainability by using a multi-respondent multi-wave design and collected data from academic heads/supervisors and university faculty in three-time intervals. The data found support for all the hypothetical relationships. The study revealed that the green human resource management (GHRM) practices of public and private universities have a positive impact on environmental sustainability through the mediation of innovative work behavior of employees.
