Effective management of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) represents a sound strategy to mitigate global climate change. ELVs are contaminants that pollute water, air, soil, and landscape. This waste flow must be adequately treated, but no proper rule oversees the disposal of ELV waste in Malaysia. This study aims to determine the extent of implementing the ELV policy and the social readiness in implementing environmentally friendly ELV disposal in Malaysia. The questionnaire seeks public input on critical ELV concerns such as public perception of the phenomena, environmental and safety standards, and recycling and treatment facilities. This research uses a cross-sectional design with 448 respondents in the survey. Fit models in structural equation modeling are evaluated using a variety of goodness-of-fit indicators to ensure an actual hypothesis. This study's advantages include the availability of representative samples and allowing for comparable and generalizable conclusions to larger communities throughout Malaysia. It is found that personal experience is significantly correlated with social readiness. The cause of ELV vehicles knowledge was the vital mediator, along with recycling costs knowledge. Thus, knowledge regarding ELV management costs is the most decisive mediation variable to predict public acceptance. The recommended strategy to reduce resentment and rejection of ELV policy is to disseminate information about the negative ELV impact on environmental and social sustainability.

“…Tzanakakis et.al [45] reported that according to the findings of an OECD survey on the circular economy in regions and cities, 66% of the surveyed circular economy initiatives discovered water and sanitation as crucial sectors for circular economy application, closely followed by the waste sector (78%). In addition, the effective treatment of waste to be used as a resource in the future is critical to achieving environmental sustainability and moving toward a circular economy [50].…”

The increasing demand for essential resources such as water, food, and energy will hurt the environment. Nexus thinking emerges as a way of thinking about the interdependence of multiple resource flows within a specific temporal and spatial context, such as energy, water, and food flows in a region. The nexus approach is a type of systems thinking that focuses on natural resource interdependence and how that interdependence can be managed and steered into more integrated and sustainable configurations. The goals of this paper are to systematically review existing research on the energy-water-food-environment nexus and circular economy implementation globally published in the last five years (2019 – 2023) and to identify future research needs in the context of Indonesia. The Scopus database was used in this study. Microsoft Excel and VOS viewer software were applied for the bibliometric analysis. Almost all of the articles reviewed in this study were taken place in other countries. Energy, water, and food security as well as environmental sustainability have become major challenges in Indonesia. Therefore, research regarding the energy-waterfood-environment nexus and circular economy to support the SDGs for Indonesia context is required in the future.

Can Environmental Regulation Improve Labor Allocation Efficiency? Evidence from China’s New Environmental Protection Law

The environmental regulatory stringency and labor reallocation are two defining features in developing countries. This study empirically estimates the impact of environmental regulation on labor allocation efficiency. We adopt the implementation of New Environmental Protection Law (NEPL) as an exogenous shock on environmental regulation to carry out a quasi-natural experiment. We find that the increase in environmental regulatory stringency has a significant and positive impact on labor allocation efficiency. The impact is mainly driven by job transition from heavy polluting industries to non-heavy polluting industries. The heterogeneity analysis results show that NEPL promotes the allocation efficiency of economically developed cities, men, union members, and low- and middle-educated laborers. Our study provides empirical evidence for regionally differentiated environmental regulation policies.
