... to grow at a rapid rate" with "the world's economy (GDP), and hence consumption…still strongly dominated by the OECD world," while the earth system trends "in general, continued their long-term, post-industrial rise" (Steffen et al., 2015), thereby making it clear that capitalist macro-economic growth (reflected in socioeconomic trends in Fig. 4) coincide with (if not directly responsible for) the generally negative earth system trends (Fig. 6). The generally ecologically detrimental trajectory of these trends helps explain why the Anthropocene was the springboard of the opening discussions on the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development or Rio+20 (Clémençon, ...

The generally positive national GDP growth rate ( Fig. 11 and Fig. 12) and foreign direct investment data (Fig. 13) point out to macroeconomic growth but conceals regional ( Fig. 14) and class-based socio-economic disparities ( Fig. ...

... The Philippines is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, and landslides. It suffers equally from human-caused environmental degradation aggravated by pollution and deforestation (Juan, 2020). The Philippines is ranked near the tail-end among countries promoting sustainable tourism, and Manila, the capital, has been judged to be one of the least sustainable cities in the 2018 Sustainable Cities Index (Gomez, 2018). ...
The importance of hotel environmental performance has been acknowledged by scholars. However, the factors that drive hotel environmental performance have not been thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, and drawing on the resource-based view perspective, this study investigated the impact of top management green commitment and green intellectual capital on green human resource management and, in turn, its impact on hotel environmental performance. The mediating role of green human resource management was also examined. To collect data from 800 hotel employees in Manila, a longitudinal study using an online survey was employed. The findings suggest that top management green commitment and green intellectual capital had a direct impact
on green human resource management and hotel environmental performance. The results also support the mediated relationships. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed. The limitations and areas of future research are outlined.

The Philippine government passed the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) in 2019, despite a strong and united peasant opposition to rice industry liberalization, which the RTL facilitates and further accelerates. Amid falling Filipino farmers' incomes due to the deluge of imported rice, negligible milled rice price decreases for consumers, rising rice prices globally, and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has already disrupted food supplies and is poised to cause continuing instability in the price of imports, this paper is aimed at reviewing recent rice tariffication policy literature. Such review will be a springboard in making a case in favor of RTL's reversal and presenting alternative policies towards prospective rice self-sufficiency in the Philippines. The paper contends that the RTL will only encourage the Philippines to rely on imports and also fail to make the local rice industry more competitive. Hence, the local rice industry must be supported rather than allowed to be gobbled up by liberalization, especially that the COVID-19 pandemic proved that countries cannot always rely on food imports. The paper prescribes drastic investments in agriculture and R&D, rural solar electrification, and promotion of more agriculture-oriented research focused on increasing yields, boosting productivity, and planting sustainably as feasible steps in the road to rice self-sufficiency.
