“…It would involve a drastic reduction in per capita consumption in the rich world and a cultural shift toward frugal communities based on collaboration and intangible values [172]. There are calls in the literature for changing consumption patterns as well as production methods [173]. Ahmed points out that the impulse for this type of transformation may provide deterioration of the situation on a global scale [174].…”

Energy Security: A Conceptual Overview

et al. 2023

In a dynamically changing socio-economic environment with significant technical and technological progress, the notion of energy security takes on a new, broader meaning. Modern literature presents a variety of operational definitions of energy security. Most authors dealing with the issue of energy security expose its different aspects while standing in opposition to competing concepts. As a result, literature that addresses the problems of energy policy is becoming a platform for debates on the essence of energy security and the applicability of its various approaches to individual situations. There is no unanimity among authors with regard to the theoretical framework or the components of this notion. However, the issue of diversity of views is quite typical in social sciences and should not be taken negatively. Despite this, and perhaps contrary to the definitional wealth, experts in the field of energy policy constantly stress the necessity and urgency of undertaking work on the conceptualization of energy security. The aim of the article is a comprehensive review of the concept of energy security in the context of new trends in the development of the energy sector based on a narrative review of scientific literature. The main differences in the perception of energy security have been identified, and it has been pointed out that the “supply concept” of energy security is giving way to an approach in which energy is a factor initiating deep transformations of social systems by changing consumption patterns, reducing energy consumption, and forcing changes in economic systems by imposing energy efficiency standards and environmental standards.

“…In other to successfully implement GM, total support from the management is required which will involve strict adherence to regulations and process compliance to encourage stakeholders [7], [44]. Consequently, this will enhance firms to be more conscious of their responsibilities to protect the environment by redesigning the production systems and reconfiguration of their waste disposal strategies to ensure adherence to sustainable environmental policies and regulations [45][46]. Research has shown that it is essential for manufacturing firms to advance their manufacturing strategies to be more eco-friendly driven by proper waste recycling, efficient disposal of harmful products, and protection of personnel.…”

Recently, there is a significant increase in the number of people pursuing healthy living and expecting firms to adopt green manufacturing practices leading to improvement in the standard of living. The rapid deterioration of the environment has harmfully affected the socio-economic growth and development across the nations of the world. The severity of this effect is more pronounced among developing nations. The concern for a sustainable environment is thriving as one of the priorities for strategic firms, organization management, manufacturers, and product designers. The study present a critical review of the existing works of literature on green manufacturing,its evolution,definition and concept. The economic, environmental, social impacts from a global perspectives were discussed. The various challenges militating against its implementation and its possible drivers were examined. However, there are numerous opportunities and future research in the area of green manufacturing that are yet to be explored.

“…It is observed that to fulfil and continue needs based on present lifestyles, it might require about three planets and their natural resource base by 2050 globally [5]. Fulfilling expanding demands for scarce natural resources such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, and fuel have reduced Earth's biodiversity significantly and irreversibly [6,7].…”

India is the most populous country in the world which shares eighteen percent of the total population. Consequently, its states and union territories are in ecological overshoot, depleting and polluting the biophysical basis of its own existence. In this context, understanding ecological footprint which is a land-based composite indicator for assessing the environmental impact of human activities at sub-national level and assessing the sustainability has become crucial. By employing environmentally extended Multi-Regional Input Output (MRIO) model, this study estimates consumption-based ecological footprint and bio capacity of 28 states and 4 union territories (UTs) in the country for the year 2015, and analyse the estimated Ecological Footprint and Bio Capacity across the states in India through sustainability quadrants. The study finds that most Indian states and union territories had a negative ecological balance and was completely unsustainable in the year 2015, which means that states’ Ecological Footprint (EF) exceeded their Bio Capacity (BC). In other words, most Indian states were depleting their natural resources faster than their regeneration or import from elsewhere. The present study confirms that the most efficient way of improving ecological balance and making states ecologically sustainable can be achieved by reducing carbon footprint through dynamic and rational change in consumption behaviour.
