“…Delmas and Kohli (2021) examine potential solutions to urban air pollution issues by focusing on the relative effectiveness of different approaches to information provision as tools for behavioural change for public health protection. Experimentally manipulating smartphone app messaging strategies, they evaluate participants’ intent and actual engagement with air quality information.…”

“…Taken together, the articles examine the impact of alternative ways to implement sustainability-related policies that influence multiple internal and external stakeholders: customers (Salmivaara & Lankoski, 2019), employees (Burbano, 2021), local communities (Delmas & Kohli, 2021) and suppliers (Wohlgezogen et al, 2021). They also examine the organizational processes that shape sustainability implementation, which can be leveraged not only to enhance the effectiveness of sustainability strategy deployment but also to revise and improve the high-level theoretical constructions that contributed to the policy design in the first place.…”

In this introduction, we first review the lessons learned in development economics about the ability of randomized control trials to analyse what Duflo refers to as the “plumbing problems” of policy implementation, as opposed to “engineering problems” of policy design. We then examine the papers published within this special issue from a plumbing-based perspective to highlight the benefits of the co-creation of knowledge in corporate sustainability through a field-based experimental agenda. We finally propose that field-based experiments can radically influence the future development of our (and related) fields of inquiry in three ways: (1) focusing on the implementation processes of sustainability strategies, (2) shifting attention from the analysis of past events to the design of future actions, and (3) yielding our role as sole owners of the knowledge development process and agreeing to shared ownership with the organizations we study.

“…However, little research has evaluated different AQI visuals to discern optimal approaches for conveying AQI information. Previous studies have focused instead on testing different types of messaging strategies such as the effects of using air quality phone alerts or providing people with information about air pollution health impacts (D’Antoni 2019 , Delmas and Kohli 2020 , 2021 , Rosen et al 2021 , Wu et al 2021 ). Consequently, a need exists for further research to test established strategies for effective visual communication from other domains to the comprehension of AQI information and the adoption of smoke-safe behaviors.…”

Background. Wildfire smoke events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Children are especially vulnerable to health effects even at moderate smoke levels. However, it is unclear how parents respond to Air Quality Indices (AQIs) frequently used by agencies to communicate air pollution health risks. Methods. In an experiment (3 × 2 × 2 factorial design), 2,100 parents were randomly assigned to view one of twelve adapted AQI infographics that varied by visual (table, line, gauge), index type (AQI [0-500], AQHI [1-11+]), and risk level (moderate, high). Participants were told to imagine encountering the infographic in a short-term exposure scenario. They reported worry about wildfire smoke, intentions to take risk-mitigating actions (e.g., air purifier use), and support for various exposure reduction policies. Subsequently, participants were told to imagine encountering the same infographic daily during a school week in a long-term exposure scenario and again reported worry, action intentions, and policy support. Results. Parents’ responses significantly differentiated between risk levels that both pose a threat to children’s health; worry and action intentions were much higher in the high-risk group than the moderate-risk group in both short-exposure (F = 748.68 p<.001; F = 411.59, p<.001) and long-exposure scenarios (F = 470.51, p<.001; F = 212.01, p<.001). However, in the short-exposure scenario, when shown the AQHI [1-11+] with either the line or gauge visuals, parents’ action intentions were more similar between moderate- and high-risk level groups (3-way interaction, F = 6.03, p = .002). Conclusions. These results suggest some index formats such as the AQHI—rather than the AQI—may better attune parents to moderate levels of wildfire smoke being dangerous to children’s health. Our research offers insights for agencies and officials seeking to improve current public education efforts during wildfire smoke events and speaks to the critical need to educate parents and help them act short-term and long-term to protect children’s health.

“…For example, demographic characteristics, economic development, and socio-cultural factors have been found to moderate this relationship (Yao et al, 2022). Additionally, the cost-benefit judgment and the ability to take action to protect oneself against air pollution can also influence individuals' engagement in selfprotective behaviors (Delmas & Kohli, 2019).…”

Central Jakarta has increasingly bad levels of air pollution, it is recorded that Jakarta is ranked third with the worst air in the world. Purchasing an electric vehicle is one way to minimize bad air. This research uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to understand and predict what characteristics or variables influence the purchase of electric vehicles in Central Jakarta. The research sample consisted of 166 respondents who had purchased an electric vehicle. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. The perception of ease of avoiding pollution influences the lack of desire to protect oneself, and the protect intention (PI) influences purchasing behavior (PB). Subjective norms (SN) and attitudes towards electric vehicle purchasing behavior (ATB) are important elements that can increase a person's desire to defend against pollution by purchasing an electric vehicle. Perceived behavioral control (PBC) challenges subjective norms and attitudes toward electric vehicle purchasing behavior. Perceived behavioral control is proven to be a solution to preventing air pollution.
