This study aims to analyze the relationship between human industrial production and sustainability, considering the concepts of Industry 4.0, Manufacturing, Green Marketing, and the Sustainability Triple Bottom Line, to identify innovative and sustainable solutions for manufacturing goods. The methodology adopted is a bibliographic review of specialized literature, emphasizing sustainability and discussing it from social, environmental, and economic aspects. A balanced approach to these three pillars is proposed, seeking a conscious, responsible, and integrated manufacturing that is aligned with the interests of society and the planet. Opportunities for innovation and reducing environmental and social impacts are presented through Industry 4.0, Manufacturing, and Green Marketing. The Sustainability Triple Bottom Line highlights the importance of social responsibility, environmental preservation, and economic viability. It is crucial that all stakeholders involved in industrial production commit to adopting sustainable and innovative solutions that promote a balanced and prosperous future. This study emphasizes the urgency of responsible manufacturing practices, which are essential for sustainable development in the 21st century.

“…In this framework, the dramatic economic effects of gas import dependency on household energy consumption and, consequently, on bills [16] have made citizens much more eager for accessible and reliable information; however, this is hard to find. This is especially true when it comes to topics with a high degree of complexity [17], such as the ecological and energy transition, and the new means of information make it difficult to distinguish between true and fake news [18][19][20]. This calls for the production of accountable information and widespread knowledge dissemination among citizens in order to fulfil the EU's aim to not leave anyone behind and to promote energy democracy.…”

Exploring Energy Literacy in Italian Social Housing: A Survey of Inhabitants Preparing the Ground for Climate Transition

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A low level of energy literacy can hamper the adoption of climate-responsive solutions in the built environment. This is often the case of social housing neighborhoods, where the implementation of improvement measures such as those from the EU Recovery Plan (PNRR in Italy) may become difficult because of the specific socio-cultural and economic criticalities. Here, inhabitants are more prone to misinformation as well as energy poverty. Therefore, understanding the level of knowledge and willingness to implement certain design actions at both site and building levels is of utmost importance to make the transition as effective and just as needed. The article presents a pilot survey conducted in two Italian social housing neighborhoods to assess residents’ understanding and preparedness to implement climate-responsive strategies, as well as literacy gaps about energy transition and related public fundings. This can prepare the ground for developing effective solutions to improve the livability of the built environment based on local needs and features that can be combined synergistically with financial incentives. The survey results are discussed, in addition to the upscaling potential.

“…The World Health Organization defines this scenario as an "infodemic," where the proliferation of excessive information, especially misleading or false information, generates misbelief among individuals and fosters a lack of confidence in health-care systems (Ferrara et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2021). In addition to this particular example, misinformation has led to the formation of substantial public misbeliefs regarding numerous other global issues, including climate change, poverty, sustainable supply chains and others (Vasist and Krishnan, 2023).…”

“…Social media can significantly impact the attainment of the SDGs, but the public's misbeliefs about various SDGs can hinder progress toward these goals (Killian et al, 2019;Ferrara et al, 2020). Previous studies have examined public misbelief about many topics, such as climate change, vaccines and supply chain management (Vasist and Krishnan, 2023). However, to date, no scholarly investigation has examined the collective sentiments…”

Purpose Misinformation surrounding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has contributed to the formation of misbeliefs among the public. The purpose of this paper is to investigate public sentiment and misbeliefs about the SDGs on the YouTube platform. Design/methodology/approach The authors extracted 8,016 comments from YouTube videos associated with SDGs. The authors used a pre-trained Python library NRC lexicon for sentiment and emotion analysis, and to extract latent topics, the authors used BERTopic for topic modeling. Findings The authors found eight emotions, with negativity outweighing positivity, in the comment section. In addition, the authors identified the top 20 topics discussing various SDGs and SDG-related misbeliefs. Practical implications The authors reported topics related to public misbeliefs about SDGs and associated keywords. These keywords can be used to formulate social media content moderation strategies to screen out content that creates these misbeliefs. The result of hierarchical clustering can be used to devise and optimize response strategies by governments and policymakers to counter public misbeliefs. Originality/value This study represents an initial endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of the public’s misbeliefs regarding SDGs. The authors identified novel misbeliefs about SDGs that previous literature has not studied. Furthermore, the authors introduce an algorithm BERTopic for topic modeling that leverages transformer architecture for context-aware topic modeling.
