Abstract Coastal communities experience increasing threats from hazards under climate change, yet evidence on household-level disaster resilience remains fragmented, specifically in developing nations. We here propose Coastal Household-level Economic, Social, and Infrastructure Robustness (CHESIR) indicators utilizing data on household survey ( n = 441 households) in two coastal hazards-exposed u…

Abstract The rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems poses critical challenges to material supply security and waste management. Addressing these challenges require integrating circular economy strategies. This study develops a dynamic and probabilistic material flow analysis (MFA) to quantify the lifecycle material flows of crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules from 1998 to 2050, with w…

Abstract Environmental degradation, driven by economic growth, remains a pressing concern. The European Union (EU) has responded by adopting international protocols to mitigate climate change. However, rapid digital transformation has also influenced economic growth and environmental quality. Greenhouse gas (GHG) as well as CO 2 emissions have risen markedly in recent decades. Thus, a major conte…
