“…Moreover, (Ulvidienė et al, 2023) highlighted a significant increase in interstate economic competition in recent decades. Collaborative efforts among consumers, as emphasized by (Grashuis and Hakelius, 2023), can foster increased competition and help prevent food price inflation (promoting fairness, equal access to food, and income equality (Hough and Contarini, 2023), further (Tsouli, 2022), it is emphasized that financial inclusion is significantly related to poverty. As per Lulaj (2020), the crucial connection between education, effective budget practices, and environmental influences reveals insights into budget management among groups from Kosovo, Western Balkan countries, and European countries, offering practical recommendations for sustainable finance.…”

This study presents a holistic and longitudinal view of the household budget basket concerning climate change and sustainable finance matters. It aims to understand their impact on the budget basket by examining the relationship between money, climate change and sustainable finance in a global economy for transition countries. Comprehensive CPI data were collected in Kosovo from 2002 to 2022, and data analysis was performed using statistical methods such as t-tests and proximity matrixes in SPSS. The results show significant differences between the average and desired values within the budget basket, indicating changes in consumer behavior, particularly in food expenditures, budget allocations, and climate change impacts. Interesting patterns emerge, such as correlations between bread, cereals, and meat, and the absence of fish in some purchases. Spending on clothing and other goods also deviates from desired values. These findings highlight the complex relationship between money, climate change, sustainable finance, and consumer spending patterns, and underscore the need to address the gap between expected and desired spending values for the global economy in transition economies. Future research should focus on analyzing household spending and its interaction with other factors to improve personal financial management and promote sustainable financial behavior in a larger number of global economies.

Dominant agri-food systems are increasingly seen as unsustainable in terms of environmental degradation, mass production or high food waste. In an attempt to counteract these developments and foster sustainability transitions in agri-food systems, a variety of actors are engaging in socially innovative models of food production and consumption. Using a multiple case study approach, our study examines three contrasting alternative economic models in the city of Berlin: community gardens, the app Too Good To Go (TGTG), and a cooperative supermarket. Based on 15 qualitative interviews, we provide insights into their transformative potential by exploring participants' underlying motivations, the changes they have experienced, and the challenges and potential for future development of these models. We find that participation in community gardens and the cooperative supermarket is similarly motivated by social aspects and dissatisfaction with existing food access options, while TGTG users are more motivated by financial reasons. Our study shows that change is experienced mainly at the individual level, e.g. by building new relationships, changing cognitive framings, and learning (new) practices, especially in community-oriented settings. The individualization of change shows that these models have a rather low potential to lead to more systemic accounts of changes. Yet, they can prefigure regime change, describe resistance, and foster cumulative incremental change that may spill over into society. We conclude that in order to sustain this role and drive transitions, it is important to up- and outscale these models; and we provide recommendations on how these models can mutually support their development, establishment, and protection.

The article is a review of existing research on the concept of a solidarity economy (SE) and the role of cooperation in this area. The authors analyze various aspects of the SE, such as equity, sustainability, resource allocation, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The paper emphasizes the relevance of the study of solidarity economy and cooperation in the context of modern challenges. The authors draw attention to the fact that the SE is focused on meeting social needs, unlike the traditional economy, which is focused on profit and cost reduction. The authors point out that the solidarity economy does not require a complete replacement of existing economic forms, but is complementary and compatible with existing market relations. Various methods were used in the research process, including the analysis of scientific literature and international practices, as well as the study of data and statistics. The authors analyze and compare various studies and approaches related to the SE and cooperation. The main conclusions of the article emphasize the importance of a solidarity economy and cooperation in creating a fair, sustainable and socially inclusive society. The authors note that a solidary economy and cooperation can contribute to an equal distribution of resources, promote environmental sustainability and innovative practices. The article provides valuable information for researchers, economists and practitioners interested in solidarity economy and cooperation. The results of the study and the proposed approaches can be used to develop policies and programs aimed at developing a SE and improving socio-economic conditions. The role of energy cooperatives in the sustainable development and decentralization of energy systems is considered.
