“…They find that the following three enabling processes are needed for urban WWS to emerge: (i) co-creation of sustainable values between business and society; (ii) co-evolution between the business and the city's visions and policies; and (iii) co-governance between society, business and government at multiple levels. Yazar et al (2019) explore the sustainable urban renewal strategy in Istanbul as a WWS, promoting urban economic growth and improving environmental quality, as well as its distributional implications in the context of the current "green gentrification" debate. They find that sustainable urban renewal has been steered by a powerful construction lobby, which has resulted in parcelled 'redeveloped neighbourhoods' that realise only marginal environmental benefits, while substantially increasing real estate prices in the redeveloped areas and displacing existing populations.…”

Arguably, a doom and gloom narrative, which emphasizes problems, costs and adverse impacts, is the most dominant narrative about climate change. Narratives are socially constructed "stories" that make sense of events and phenomena, integrating them into worldviews (van der Leeuw 2019). By doing so, narratives shape preferences and opinions giving direction to human action (Fløttum and Gjerstad 2017). In the context of climate change, it is widely acknowledged that narratives, rather than climate information per se, play the decisive role in motivating or demotivating climate action (Chapman et al. 2017; Fløttum and Gjerstad 2017; Hulme 2009; Moser 2010). Consequently, there has been intense debate about whether the doom and gloom narrative is counterproductive for climate action as fear may demotivate climate action (Chapman et al. 2017). Conversely, narratives can also empower people to act upon problems such as climate change. In this context, Tàbara et al. (2018), for example, put forward the notion of transformative narratives, which are bottom-up narratives that tell a positive and engaging story, articulate a vision of "where we want to go" and provide solutions for attaining this vision, rather than articulating problems to avoid. This special issue focuses on transformative narratives for climate action that highlight economic and other opportunities in climate action. The narratives have been co-developed and empirically validated in the GREEN-WIN project, an international transdisciplinary research collaboration supported by the EU from

“…In Brooklyn, New York (NY), the restoration of Prospect Park was associated with increases in median household income, loss of Black residents, and increased median home values in some neighborhoods surrounding the park [ 44 ]. Although green gentrification has been studied and documented more extensively in higher-income countries, research has also found disparities in access to greenspace [ 45 ] and evidence of green gentrification in lower- and middle-income countries [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Importantly, these green gentrification processes are not uniform within cities; recent studies examined how neighborhood and park characteristics modify the relationship between greenspace and gentrification [ 17 , 43 , 49 , 50 ].…”

Neighborhood greenspace may attract new residents and lead to sociodemographic or housing cost changes. We estimated relationships between greenspace and gentrification-related changes in the 43 largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) of the United States (US). We used the US National Land Cover and Brown University Longitudinal Tracts databases, as well as spatial lag models, to estimate census tract-level associations between percentage greenspace (years 1990, 2000) and subsequent changes (1990–2000, 2000–2010) in percentage college-educated, percentage working professional jobs, race/ethnic composition, household income, percentage living in poverty, household rent, and home value. We also investigated effect modification by racial/ethnic composition. We ran models for each MSA and time period and used random-effects meta-analyses to derive summary estimates for each period. Estimates were modest in magnitude and heterogeneous across MSAs. After adjusting for census-tract level population density in 1990, compared to tracts with low percentage greenspace in 1992 (defined as ≤50th percentile of the MSA-specific distribution in 1992), those with high percentage greenspace (defined as >75th percentile of the MSA-specific distribution) experienced higher 1990–2000 increases in percentage of the employed civilian aged 16+ population working professional jobs (β: 0.18, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11, 0.26) and in median household income (β: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.31). Adjusted estimates for the 2000–2010 period were near the null. We did not observe evidence of effect modification by race/ethnic composition. We observed evidence of modest associations between greenspace and gentrification trends. Further research is needed to explore reasons for heterogeneity and to quantify health implications.

“…Structuring plans in a region can have an impact on the performance of wind energy investments [31]. For example, if there are high-rise buildings in an area, this may lead to the wind power plants in that area not getting enough wind [32]. Therefore, the efficiency of the mentioned investments will decrease.…”

This study aimed to analyze the systematic risks of wind energy investments. Within this framework, E7 countries are included in the scope of the examination. A large literature review was carried out and 12 different systematic risk factors that could exist in wind energy investments were identified. The analysis process of the study consisted of two different stages. First, the specified risk criteria were weighted with the help of the interval type 2 (IT2) fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Second, E7 countries were ranked according to the risk management effectiveness in wind energy investments. In this process, the IT2 fuzzy Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) approach was taken into consideration. The findings show that volatility in exchange rates and interest rates were the most important risks in wind energy investments. In addition, it was determined that China and Indonesia were the most successful countries in managing risks in wind energy investments. In contrast, India, Russia, and Turkey were determined to be the least successful. Additionally, the IT2 fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was applied as a robustness check of the extended VIKOR method. It was concluded that the ranking results of the IT2 fuzzy TOPSIS method were similar to the results of the IT2 fuzzy VIKOR. It can be understood that the proposed ranking method was consistent with the comparative analysis results. From this point of view, it was observed that countries should take measures regarding their exchange rate and interest rate risks in order to increase the efficiency in wind energy investments. In this context, companies should first ensure that they do not have a foreign exchange short position in their balance sheets by conducting an effective financial analysis. In addition, it is important to use financial derivatives to minimize the exchange rate and interest rate risks. Using these results, it will be possible to manage this risk by taking the reverse position for the existing foreign currency and interest risk. In this way, it will be possible to increase the efficiency of wind energy investments, which will contribute to the social and economic development of each respective country.Energies 2020, 13, 1423 2 of 25 their own energy resources can benefit from these resources [1]. This situation gives these countries a serious cost advantage. On the other hand, countries that do not have sufficient energy resources have to supply the energy they need from outside, which makes these countries dependent on energy. Because of this problem, countries are developing several strategies to produce their own energy [2].Renewable energy sources are an important alternative that allows countries to produce their own energy. The most important feature of these energy alternatives, which come in different forms, such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and hydroelectricity, is that they obtain their resources from natur...
