Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am very happy to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Sustainability titled “Going Green: Pro-environmental Behavior and Civic Participation for a Sustainable Future”.

Tackling environmental issues is not just the goal of governments or global initiatives, it also requires conscious and informed individual action privately and publicly. Through the transformation of everyday habits and through decisions grounded in factual environmental knowledge, individuals can have a strong influence on both governments and businesses, shaping products and services through their actions.

This Special Issue is directed at research that uncovers the mechanisms through which individual action can lead to sustainable outcomes and pro-environmental behavior in general, prioritizing novel approaches, especially those that include an element of civic participation.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Pro-environmental behaviour;
  • Environmental behaviour and its links to psychological well-being;
  • Environmental citizenship;
  • Civic participation in environmental actions;
  • Community initiatives for sustainability.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential for sustainable development, yet several constraints make achieving them difficult. A strategic management tool is required to address these challenges and manage objectives and goals effectively. This study aims to redesign Balanced Scorecard (BSC), a strategic management tool for gender equality, to enable the strategic management of goals and indicators related to the fifth sustainable goal (SDG 5) proposed by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The BSC for gender equality was developed through a comprehensive literature review on gender-specific targets and indicators and the restructuring of the traditional architecture of the BSC to include new dimensions, guiding questions, and objectives to achieve this study’s goals. Moreover, a strategy map was constructed to illustrate the strategy and cause-and-effect relationships across the BSC dimensions. This research provides concrete gender strategies that help organizations implement a management tool to measure and manage their performance related to gender equality and sustainable development. The findings suggest that the BSC for gender equality can contribute significantly to a clearer understanding of how organizations can measure and promote gender equality. The implications of this study are significant for promoting and advancing gender equality, helping organizations, researchers, and civil society translate this goal into practical terms, and applying the concepts discussed for sustainable development and women’s empowerment in practical circumstances. Ultimately, using the BSC for gender equality is expected to result in social and economic benefits for current and future generations, making it a valuable tool for organizations and policy makers to promote sustainable development and gender equality.
