“…A number of authors [27,33,[35][36][37]] consider how SC could play an important role in the acceptance or non-acceptance of new energy practices (local acceptance (or not)), production processes, and the construction of renewable energy facilities. In particular, SC is seen as empowering in protests over new plants [35] or as facilitating transition and adaptation to change in certain contexts, such as rural ones [38]. The relationship aspect of SC is considered an element that fosters cohesion to achieve common goals [27,34,39].…”

The impact of social factors in energy transition has become increasingly important in recent decades. In this context, Social Capital (SC) has been used to give greater importance to social aspects that can influence community involvement in the energy transition. Two approaches were used to select the academic literature on SC and energy transition for this review, (1) a keyword search through the main bibliographical databases to ascertain the number of articles on this topic and (2) a theoretical investigation of certain aspects that unite or differentiate the various articles. Specifically, this review paper considers the different definitions given to SC in the energy field, the dimensions and indicators of SC considered in different studies, and the methods, qualitative or quantitative, used to operationalise SC. The review stresses some weaknesses in the literature, such as the split in the definition of SC in relation to the energy transition, the interaction of SC with social rather than individual factors of the person, and indicators of SC that can influence, positively or negatively, energy transition. A shared methodology should be developed with a multidisciplinary approach that would allow SC to be considered in its totality.

“…Locals may see pollutants as a welcome sign of prosperity (Jovanović ). Supposedly progressive measures like corporate social responsibility may serve as an excellent tool of divide and rule (Knudsen ). Yet, in what the authors clearly see as a model of anthropological engagement, they offer one case from Australia where the slow work of weaving together local knowledge with the state of the art in environmental impact assessment allows a local indigenous group to defeat those threatening their lands on their own terms (Wergin ).…”

European social anthropology in 2018: an increasingly recursive public

In 2018, social anthropology finds itself increasingly concerned with its technical, legal and political conditions of possibility. The long‐term effects of austerity, financialisation and the technological transformation of media on teaching, research and publishing have led to intense struggles over the labour and property regimes underpinning the discipline. In responding to these challenges, anthropologists seem to be re‐conceptualising their own personhood and labour through the diverse conceptualisations of their interlocutors. However, it is also important to remember what makes social anthropology and its unique professional challenges but a small facet of a larger human condition. By way of conclusion, I offer kinship (the public's constitutive other) as one potential means of grappling with the limitations of social anthropology's own publicity.

“…The disclosure of carbon emissions also affects investment decision criteria, including investors' behavior, public policies that require investors to disclose how they can make environmental considerations without further guidance, and potential markets that provide long-term and short-term perspectives for investors. Several reasons companies need to disclose carbon emissions, namely as an expression of public communication, stakeholder interests (customers, employees, and investors), transparency, the importance of understanding the business, reducing costs, legal requirements, and understanding environmental impacts (Blanco, Caro, & Corbett, 2017;Knudsen, 2016;Haigh & Shapiro, 2011). A solid commitment to disclosing reports can reduce the possibility of information asymmetry that arises between the company and its shareholders (Leuz & Verrecchia, 2000).…”

This research was conducted to know the company's characteristics, the determining factors for the disclosure of carbon emissions, and the impact of the disclosure of carbon emissions on economic consequences. The financial result in this study is the decision-making behavior of businesses, governments, and creditors as a result of accounting reporting, in this case, environmental disclosures contained in annual reports and sustainable reports. This study's sample amounted to 45 companies registered in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, with an observation period of 2008 to 2017. To measure the disclosure of carbon emissions by creating a checklist based on information from the CDP. Company characteristics are proxied by profitability, leverage, size, and sales growth, while economic consequences are proxied by the bid-ask spread, trading volume, and stock price volatility. The analytical method used in this study is the Partial Least Square (PLS) method using the WARP PLS version 5.0 application. From the test results, it was found that Profitability and Size had a positive effect on disclosure of carbon emissions, growth sales had a negative effect, and leverage had no effect. Meanwhile, the impact of disclosing carbon emissions on the bid-ask spread, trading volume, and stock price volatility has a positive effect.
