“…This transformation needs to fully integrate reflections about our relationships with nature (which includes human beings) and those that we want to build in the future (something that environmental ethics incite us to do [61]). Many pathways remain possible: for example, raising the awareness of decision-makers and elected representatives [121] who have significant power and influence; meeting the individual and collective expectations of local populations [122,123]; integrating the finiteness of the territory and changing the relationship with the land [124,125]; and questioning the governance [126] and means of environmental "control" [127], as well as the division of labor within companies and institutions [81]. Behind these issues lies the need to embrace interdisciplinarity [59,128,129], especially because science and its application are inherently "imperfect" [130].…”

Scientific research on the mitigation hierarchy has steadily increased over the past few years at the international level. While some seek to improve the application of this public action instrument, others point out its shortcomings and risks. This opinion paper—which focuses on the French context—does not provide an exhaustive overview of existing research but instead targets specific issues considered to be a “priority”. We mainly investigate the relevance and implementation of the mitigation hierarchy, especially from an ecological point of view. Part of this paper thus questions the very principle of biodiversity offsetting (BO)—the last resort of the mitigation hierarchy that brings together numerous controversies—and the adequacy of the mitigation hierarchy with the objective of no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity. The general idea underlying this paper is to show how the mitigation hierarchy has been built and based on what values (mainly economic and legal, which leads us to conclude about the lack of ecology in the policy itself). In doing so, we provide a few perspectives as to what should be done to (better) integrate ecology into land use planning and development.

“…According to the study, kilns that exhibit superior environmental sustainability are more likely to be situated in regions where the general public has a higher degree of care for the environment. The authors speculate that this is the case because investors and customers may put pressure on kilns to switch to more environmentally friendly operations (Werdiningtyas, Wei, & Western, 2020). The association between climate change perceptions and kiln environmental sustainability in the US electrical industry is investigated.…”

“…These environmentally friendly practices not only help in reducing the ecological footprint of the brick industry but also enhance the organization's performance by improving its brand image, aligning it with consumer preferences, and often reducing long-term operational costs. Furthermore, environmentalism influences the way stakeholders perceive and interact with an organization, thereby impacting its performance (Werdiningtyas et al, 2020). Companies in the brick industry, embracing environmentalism can lead to better stakeholder relationships, increased customer loyalty, and even access to new markets that prioritize sustainability.…”

Both air pollution and global warming pose serious risks to human health and ecosystem. The study underlined that developing and enforcing environmental policies may alleviate some of these problems, especially those that are small-scale in nature. Further, thoughtful actions and legislative measures are necessary to ensure environmental sustainability. The purpose of this study is to identify factors that the brick sector in Pakistan might use to enhance organizational performance. The study analyzed how government regulation, public involvement, and environmental management techniques affect both environmental sustainability and organizational performance. The study used self-administered survey questionnaire to collect the data. The sample was selected using convenient sampling technique from respondents and in total 403 sample was analyzed through SmartPLS. The results demonstrated that these factors have a major effect on both organizational and environmental success. Smart-PLS-3 was employed to assess the data and test hypothesis. Environmental sustainability and Organizational performance are perceived to be significantly influenced by governmental laws, public involvement, and an organization's environmental management system. The study also embarked significant theoretical and practical implications.

“…Institutions are "sets of rules, decision-making procedures, and programs that de ne social practices, assign roles to the participants in these practices, and guide interactions among the occupants of individual roles" (Young 2002, p.5). They function as rules of interactions in SES (Werdiningtyas et al 2020), and the interactions of institutions with other institutions can affect the effectiveness of environmental governance of SES (Young 2002). Policy instruments (such as CBs) are a form of institutions (Corbera and Brown 2008;Mann and Absher 2014).…”

“…Policy instruments (such as CBs) are a form of institutions (Corbera and Brown 2008;Mann and Absher 2014). Instruments interact with other instruments and abide by the context conditions of the institutional framework (Werdiningtyas et al 2020). Understanding how instruments interact can help align these instruments with their objectives and may lead to effective policy solutions in SES (IPBES 2019).…”

Regulation, the hybrid market, and species conservation: The case of conservation banking in California

Conservation Banking in California is a long-established offset program. Banks are hybrid instruments that hover between market autonomy and regulatory oversight. Challenges that may affect program success include aligning regulation with the scales and objectives of the hybrid market and conservation and interaction with other compensation instruments. I use an analytical framework combining socialecological t (does the regulation t the spatial, functional, and temporal scales of the market or conservation?) and instrument interaction (are compensation instruments redundant, synergetic, etc.?) to analyze the institutional framework of the conservation banking program. Results show that the program fails to re ect the hybrid market or species conservation objectives, creating a social-ecological mismatch. The institutional framework disincentivizes banking, while its success in conserving species cannot be measured. Competing and redundant instruments can lead to weaker compensation. The program needs equal standards that re ect conservation objectives for all compensation instruments. Findings on t can be useful for other banking programs, and considerations on instrument interaction could improve offsets anywhere.
