“…Travel restrictions led to a substantial decrease of 74% in tourist numbers across the continent, as estimated by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, 2021). Tourism, specifically cultural tourism, holds immense importance as it contributes to various aspects such as social value creation, environmental sustainability, community development, and global cultural understanding (Jawad et al, 2023; Li, Abbas, et al, 2022; Shah, Zhang, & Abbas, 2023). It serves as a catalyst for economic development, bringing about positive changes in local communities and fostering a sense of appreciation for diverse cultures (Abbas, Mubeen, et al, 2021; Mamirkulova et al, 2020).…”

This study examines the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic on Moroccan female‐led firms, considering both short‐term and long‐term impacts. It investigates the influence of different pandemic waves on these firms, taking into account their size and location, to gain valuable insights into their crisis management strategies. Using a micro‐level database made up of 1,096 Moroccan firms observed during the initial three waves of the pandemic, we extract data from the World Bank ‘Enterprise Survey: impact on firms’ database. Our analysis, using a logit model, reveals that the impact of the pandemic varied by the gender of the firm head and survey period. Female‐led firms were more severely affected by the health crisis compared with their male peers. The quick application of policy adaptations played a crucial role in reducing the impact of the health crisis on male‐led enterprises. Small firms, particularly those situated in regions such as Beni Mellal‐Khenifra, Drâa‐Tafilalet, Oriental, and Marrakech‐Safi, have been significantly affected by the COVID‐19 crisis. This study makes two key contributions. Firstly, it provides an empirical analysis of the pandemic's impact on Moroccan firms using enterprise‐level data, which is unprecedented in Morocco. Secondly, it investigates the repercussions of the pandemic on female‐led Moroccan firms of varying sizes and regions, acknowledging the disproportionate impact on women during economic crises. The study aims to offer valuable insights for supporting the recovery of female‐led firms in the future. Our findings emphasize the importance of targeted assistance for small firms and those located in affected regions to mitigate the crisis's consequences and promote economic revival. These businesses play a crucial role in the local economy, and supporting their survival and resilience in the post‐COVID‐19 era is essential.

“…Regarding renewable energy use, the extant literature is replete with studies that test the effect of renewable energy on environmental quality (Abbas et al, 2023; Ben Jebli et al, 2015; Khan et al, 2020; Maji & Adamu, 2021; Mehmood, 2021; Salahuddin et al, 2020). However, most of these studies did not account for the interactive roles of good governance and income, and renewable energy transition and income.…”

“…In order to make sustainable use of resources and mitigate the effects of climate change, several policy efforts have been made to promote sustainable development. These efforts have helped to conserve resources and protect the environment and climate (Abbas et al, 2023; Iorember et al, 2022; Noubissi et al, 2021). Such policy efforts include reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, building alternative energy sources, and increasing the share of renewables in the total energy mix.…”

The economies of the African countries are gradually expanding, but they mostly depend on fossil fuels for energy use. This exacerbates environmental damage, which renders the continent susceptible to the effects of climate change. Therefore, this study aims to examine the integrating role of renewable energy transition and governance quality in the income–environmental quality nexus in Africa. The study applies second‐generation econometric techniques on annual panel data of 34 African countries covering the period 1996–2018. The fixed effect ordinary least square (OLS‐FE), feasible generalized least squares (FGLS), system generalized method of moments (SYS‐GMM) and cross‐sectionally augmented ARDL (CS‐ARDL) are applied to both the baseline model and the interactive models. The results provide diverse findings. In the baseline models, the study verifies the increasing effect of income on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which continues to dampen environmental quality. Regarding the interaction effect models, the findings show that the interactive term of renewable energy transition and income per capita has a significant negative effect on CO2 emission levels which implies that renewable energy transition ensures green growth. Further, the results indicate that the interactive terms of governance quality have significant reducing effect on emission levels. In terms of policy, achieving green growth necessitates increased renewable energy deployment and policies that will enhance governance effectiveness towards enforcing environmental regulations.

“…The worsening climate crisis has prompted firms to enhance their sustainability excellence and environmental performance to embark on a new carbon‐neutral trajectory (Khan et al, 2021; Roh et al, 2022). Sustainability has now become a major phrase in both the business world and broader aspects of modern society (Abbas et al, 2023). To remain competitive in a global world with multiple climate and environmental challenges, organizations must prioritize the flow of information and use supply chain management (SCM)‐related competencies as a strategic tool to enhance their performance and contribute to the overall green environment (Aslam et al, 2021).…”

The global climate crisis hampers emerging economies, hindering textile manufacturers from implementing innovative measures to address climate change impacts in their daily operations amidst a complex and dynamic business environment. The key focus of the current study is to investigate the impact of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on the operational, organizational and environmental performance of textile firms. Data from 210 textile firms in a developing country context severely impacted by climate change and global warming was collected using cluster sampling for the study. The study shows that implementing SSCM practices can improve operational efficiency and organizational and environmental performance. Furthermore, the findings indicate that environmental goals (environmental cost savings and environmental impact) can be enhanced by implementing proper SSCM practices through operational excellence. In conclusion, this study offers implications for managers and insights to policymakers and managers of the textile industry.
