“…The first step of this method is to define the absolute anti-ideal point. When considering all lower values of the first fuzzy numbers, since these values are the smallest, it can be observed that the minimum value is two (2). Therefore, the value chosen for the absolute anti-ideal point is a value smaller than two.…”

“…In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on sustainability in various industries, including agriculture and agribusiness. As concerns about environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and social responsibility continue to escalate [1][2][3], the need for sustainable practices in supplier selection becomes increasingly crucial [4][5][6]. Optimizing the selection of green suppliers has become a primary objective for organizations operating in the agricultural sector [7], as it allows them to align their supply chain practices with sustainable development goals [8].…”

The evolving customer demands have significantly influenced the operational landscape of agricultural companies, including the transformation of their supply chains. As a response, many organizations are increasingly adopting green supply chain practices. This paper focuses on the initial step of selecting a green supplier, using the case study of the Semberka Company. The objective is to align the company with customer requirements and market trends. Expert decision making, grounded in linguistic values, was employed to facilitate the transformation of these values into fuzzy numbers and subsequently derive rough number boundaries. Ten economic-environmental criteria were identified, and six suppliers were evaluated against these criteria. The fuzzy rough LMAW (Logarithm Methodology of Additive Weights) method was employed to determine the criteria weights, with emphasis placed on the quality criterion. The fuzzy rough MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) method was then utilized to rank the suppliers and identify the top performer. The validity of the results was established through validation techniques and sensitivity analysis. This research contributes a novel approach to green supplier selection, employing the powerful tool of fuzzy rough sets. The flexible nature of this approach suggests its potential application in future investigations. The limitation of this study is more complicated calculations for the decision maker. However, this approach is adapted to human thinking and minimizes ambiguity and uncertainty in decision making, and in future research, it is necessary to combine this approach with other methods of multi-criteria analysis.

“…Still others focused on the (un)willingness and (in)ability of communities to initiate environmental cooperation, benefit from national and international environmental policies, and improve intergroup relations in the process (Dresse et al, 2021; Johnson, 2019). When affected by environmental stress, local communities have the agency to engage in (often complex mixes of) confrontational and cooperative responses.…”

From climate conflicts to environmental peacebuilding: Exploring local dimensions

Environmental change and armed conflict are major challenges of the 21st century. Meanwhile, scholars and practitioners increasingly recognize the environment and natural resources as not only sources of conflict and violence but also as potential means for peacebuilding. While research on both fronts is rapidly progressing, the literature on the climate–conflict nexus and environmental peacebuilding has remained disconnected, although climate conflicts will (and already) require peacebuilding efforts. We address this gap by identifying overlaps that open opportunities for an integrated research agenda. Particularly, we call for a deeper exploration of the local dimensions of climate-related conflicts and environmental peacebuilding. Local actors, knowledge, networks, and identities shape peacebuilding outcomes and are key in building climate-resilient peace. However, romanticizing the local sphere might also mask significant inequalities, power differences, and ethical concerns.

“…The concept of greenwashing has emerged to characterize such potentially harmful effects. For example, scholars have noted how private companies can be potential agents of environmental peacebuilding but should avoid greenwashing (Dresse et al, 2021; Hamann & Kapelus, 2004; Hilson, 2012). This usage of greenwashing refers to a concept frequently discussed in business journals: namely, misleading or deceptive environmental signaling.…”

Beyond greenwashing: Prioritizing environmental justice in conflict-affected settings

Building on recent studies that call for further attention to marginalized communities at the intersection of environment, climate action, and peacebuilding initiatives, this article recommends an environmental justice lens for work in conflict-affected settings. We highlight examples of resistance to environmental action where a justice lens has been missed, amplifying minority voices and perspectives, and including a case where environmental peacebuilding is perceived as greenwashing. Lacking this lens, environmental action and research risk—albeit inadvertently—further entrenching sociopolitical injustices. Employing a conflict-sensitive, peace-positive, and environmental justice-responsive approach can produce more sustainable outcomes.
