Abstract The selection of renewable energy sources (RES) constitutes a strategic decision with significant implications for national sustainability objectives and energy security. This process is inherently complex due to the need to consider multiple interdependent criteria and the subjective, often uncertain, evaluations of decision-makers (DMs). To address these complexities, recent research e…

Abstract Coastal communities experience increasing threats from hazards under climate change, yet evidence on household-level disaster resilience remains fragmented, specifically in developing nations. We here propose Coastal Household-level Economic, Social, and Infrastructure Robustness (CHESIR) indicators utilizing data on household survey ( n = 441 households) in two coastal hazards-exposed u…

Abstract The rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems poses critical challenges to material supply security and waste management. Addressing these challenges require integrating circular economy strategies. This study develops a dynamic and probabilistic material flow analysis (MFA) to quantify the lifecycle material flows of crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules from 1998 to 2050, with w…
