From Green Space to Green Prescriptions: Challenges and Opportunities for Research and Practice

From Green Space to Green Prescriptions: Challenges and Opportunities for Research and Practice

Research on the healthy and restorative effects of green space has been rapidly expanding over the past decades, and the field is fast moving toward maturity (van den Berg and van den Berg, 2014; Capaldi et al., 2015). Findings converge in showing that regular contact with green space can enhance well-being and alleviate stress, and may even mitigate income-related health inequalities regarding...

Green networks: Opportunities and challenges

One of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century is to investigate new technologies that can enable a transition towards a more sustainable society with a reduced CO 2 footprint. We need to reduce energy consumption

Green Supply Chain: challenges and opportunities

Sustainability legislation, new consumer behaviour and the complexity of global trade are increasingly changing the way of designing and managing supply chains. In this context, one should take into consideration sustainability factors, such as minimization of carbon emission, treatment of reverse flows, optimization of energy consumption; etc., simultaneously with the product’s life cycle desi...

Green Supply Chain Management- Challenges and Opportunities

Green Supply Chain Management can be defined as “integrating environment thinking into supply chain management, including product design, material sourcing and selection, manufacturing process, delivery of the final product to the consumers, and end-of-life management of the product after its useful life.” These days people are more concerned of the world’s environmental problems such as global...
