According to a survey ran in October 2023, France had the highest share of active and casual lifestyle brand purchasers who were more concerned about the sustainability of products than they were the previous year, with over ************** of respondents making this claim. Germany had the lowest share with ** percent.
In 2023, about ** percent of consumers surveyed worldwide had paid a premium of one to just under **** percent more for a sustainable product, which is an increase compared to 2020. That said, the number of surveyed people who spent an additional **** percent or more for goods that were manufactured sustainably dropped noticeably in that time. This would demonstrate that price remains one of the leading purchasing factors among consumers, as well as a potential drop in willingness to meet these high price points.
According to a survey conducted among consumers in the United States in October 2023, ** percent of Gen Z and ** percent of Millennial respondents said they only bought from brands they considered sustainable or that matched their values. Sustainability was considered alongside with other factors when choosing brands by ** percent of Gen Z and ** percent of Millennial respondents. The generation with the largest share of consumers who said to seldom consider sustainability while choosing between brands was Gen X, with ** percent of its respondents saying so.
The Compendium of Environmental Sustainability Indicator Collections, Version 1.1 contains 426 indicators for 239 countries from five major environmental sustainability indicator efforts: the 2006 Environmental Performance Index (EPI), 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), 2004 Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI), the Rio to Johannesburg Dashboard, the Wellbeing of Nations, and 2006 National Footprint Accounts. It also incorporates 38 ancillary variables such as region name, dummy variables for landlocked countries and small island states, population, GDP, and land area.

Abstract Some Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are becoming a reference to practice environmentally sustainable, contributing to the formation of its academics and for sustainable development, to the extent that there is in sustainability a guideline for managing the campuses of the institutions. The objective of this article was to investigate the profile of research and the development of the theme of environmental sustainability in HEIs located in Brazil. It is a study of bibliometric analysis to examine the scientific literature on the topic and guide future directions and strategies for future research. These studies are dispersed in a large number of journals because there is no nationally a particular publication for the theme. The studies are dispersed in fifteen different journals and twenty-seven articles were found. The surveys were developed by eighty-nine authors and there is no individual research. The evolution of academic learning obtained by the experience of researchers isbringing a mature work, which already has a history of research, concepts and results that are being aggregated over time, building up the knowledge in the area.
Many communities are working to enhance the sustainability of their physical, economic, and social systems. While economic and physical systems are routinely measured (e.g., money, energy, greenhouse gas emissions), important psychological and behavioral elements of social systems (norms, attitudes, individual behavior) are seldom tracked. This research evaluated a potentially scalable approach to measuring the impact of local sustainability initiatives on these variables in a community engaged in a holistic effort to promote sustainability. Survey data were collected at two timepoints measuring pro-environmental thought and behavior in two small towns in Ohio: Oberlin, a community engaged in holistic efforts to enhance environmentally sustainable behavior; and Berea, a similar community used as a control. Despite verifiable changes in Oberlin due to sustainability programs and awareness of these programs, our survey results did not provide strong evidence that program efforts resulted ...
The Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Annual Report (AR) datasets contain the following data submitted by Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) and Alternative Agencies as part of their GSP AR or Alternative to GSP AR: groundwater extraction, surface water supply, total water use, and change in storage volumes for a given water year. All data was originally submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) through the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Portal’s AR Modules (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/gspar/submitted and https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/alternative/annualreport/submitted). Data records within each dataset correspond to either an entire basin or one of multiple GSP areas which collectively correspond to an entire basin. The GSP Regulations established the AR data requirements (23 CCR § 356.2) and tasked DWR with developing an online reporting system for GSAs and Alternative Agencies to electronically submit these data (23 CCR § 353.2). The data fields associated with these datasets were created by DWR to ensure GSAs and Alternative Agencies electronically submitted the required AR data to DWR’s online reporting system, the SGMA Portal (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/). For additional information regarding the AR Modules and the AR submittal process, please view the DWR’s AR resources (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/resources).
According to a survey conducted in February 2021 on attitude to company and brand sustainability behavior, nearly ** percent of respondents expected companies and brands to do a lot more to reduce their carbon impact. About ** percent of the respondents wanted companies to put people and planet before profit.

This table presents economic data for the environmental goods and services sector by activity. It contains data on labour volume, output, gross value added and export of the environmental goods and services sector. Output, gross value added and export are measured in basic prices and labour volume is measured in full time equivalents (fte). The environmental activities are assigned to an environmental domain (environmental protection and/or management of natural resources).
The economic data are presented in the following quantities: -Labour volume, 1000 fte -Output at basic prices, mln Euro -Gross value added at basic prices, mln Euro -Export at basic prices, mln Euro
The environmental goods and services sector consists of companies and institutions that are involved in activities with respect to measuring, preventing, limiting, minimalizing or correcting environmental damage to water, air and soil as well as problems related to waste, noise and ecosystems (OECD, 1999; Eurostat 2009). This definition includes 'cleaner technologies 'and 'cleaner goods and services' which reduce environmental risk and minimize the use of natural resources and pollution. The definition of the environmental goods and services sector is determined on European level and it is used by EU-countries accordingly.
The environmental goods and services sector is part of de Dutch system of environmental accounts, which brings together economic and environmental information in a common framework. The Dutch environmental accounts are compiled following the general concepts, definitions and classifications as described in SEEA 2012 and the 2008 SNA. As it is in line with de definitions and classifications of the national accounts system, there exists a small difference between environmental accounts and environmental statistics. More information on the methodology can be found elsewhere on the website of CBS.

The Chicago Building Energy Use Benchmarking Ordinance calls on existing municipal, commercial, and residential buildings larger than 50,000 square feet to track whole-building energy use, report to the City annually, and verify data accuracy every three years. The law, which phases in from 2014-2017, covers less than 1% of Chicago’s buildings, which account for approximately 20% of total energy used by all buildings. For more details, including ordinance text, rules and regulations, and timing, please visit www.CityofChicago.org/EnergyBenchmarking
The ordinance authorizes the City to share property-specific information with the public, beginning with the second year in which a building is required to comply.
