Based on findings from a review of the effectiveness of large dam projects worldwide, the World Commission on Dams (WCD) has stressed the need for an assessment of alternative options to improve decision-making processes in water resources and energy development. Besides the importance of rights affected and risks caused by the projects, the need t...
In a low carbon energy system, concentrated solar power is of particular interest for its ability to store solar energy as heat. This allows the delivery of power even when the sun sets, so to complement and compensate other intermittent clean sources of power. However, CSP investment costs are high compared to other options such as fossil fuel gen...
While concentrated solar power (CSP) currently contributes less than 0.1% of total electrical capacity worldwide, its potential is significant enough for many experts and international institutions to suggest it could supply up to 10% of global energy demand by 2050.
CSP’s costs are coming down but, in most cases, they still remain above alternati...
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an extremely promising, potentially scaleable renewable energy technology. Because it stores solar energy as heat, CSP can deliver stable, low-carbon power even after the sun sets. By supplying power reliably and flexibly whenever it’s most needed, CSP can help balance gaps between supply and demand, complementing...
Mangroves are vital intertidal ecosystems that support biodiversity and protect coastal communities, but face increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities that sustain local livelihoods. It is crucial to integrate the social dimension into conservation efforts by encouraging community participation in mangrove restoration. Chame Bay, located o...
In late 2000, the European Union adopted the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and funded a series of research and innovation projects to support its implementation. One of these was the MULINO project (MULti-sectoral, INtegrated and Operational Decision Support System for Sustainable Use of Water Resources at the Catchment Scale). Its main product w...
Weighing cultural legacies is crucial to better understand the opportunity costs of lagoon restoration. It may be necessary for local populations whose well-being and culture are closely linked to heritage. This paper investigates the preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) of local fishermen for contributing to the restoration of the Bizerte lago...

En Europa practican la pesca marítima recreativa (PMR) nueve millones de aficionados que generan un gasto de 6 000 millones de euros anuales. En España se estima que hay 300 000 pescadores recreativos que realizan un gasto de 217 millones de euros anuales para desarrollar su actividad. Por estos motivos, la Política Pesquera Común (PPC) reconoce qu...
Marine ecosystem services are the contributions of marine ecosystems to people, supporting, directly or indirectly, people’s survival and quality of life, and also the development of the global economy [1]. Humans have always benefited from marine ecosystems, either more obviously in the form of food resources or materials, or more subtly in the fo...

El año 2016 se ha caracterizado por una caída del TEA, que ha pasado de 5,51 a 3,99 puntos porcentuales. La lectura detallada de esta cifra nos lleva a situarnos en una caída del TEA por necesidad, de modo mayoritario entre los hombres. Así, por primera vez en 10 años, con 4,09 la ratio TEA femenina supera a la masculina y contribuye a amortiguar l...
Despite international commitments (e.g., the Convention on Biological Diversity; the IPBES and the Sustainable Development Goals), the vast majority of the world’s nations declared that human actions were dismantling the Earth’s ecosystems at an alarming rate, crossing safe planetary boundaries.Although formal recognition in science and policy of m...
The aim of this chapter is to highlight the properties presented by the international human capital that
allows us to conceptualize it as a strategic resource of organizations, and therefore, a potential source of
sustainable competitive advantage. We highlight the role of international assignments as a preferred way
for companies to contribute to...
The recycling and later use of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) as construction materials present a strategic inconvenience for many stakeholders involved in the sustainable construction. In some countries, the recycling percentage of C&D waste is around 80% of the C&D generated. However, in other countries this percentage is much lowe...
The frequent construction and demolition of buildings and civil works causes excessive waste of energy and natural resources. It is generally accepted that asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures made with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) promotes sustainable construction. However, our analysis identifies an environmental downside: increased consumption of...
This article reviews the consequences of introducing certain policies in consulting firms, from the point of maintaining intellectual capital. Consultancies base the competitive edge of their offering on the knowledge of their professionals, despite the difficulties inherent in depending internally on a resource which may of its own volition choose...
