Advancing multiple ecosystem service assessment in the tropics: Evidence from Barekese and Owabi watersheds in Ghana.

Watershed ecosystems are important for the provision of multiple ecosystem services (ES) that are critical to human welfare. Few studies particularly in the tropics assess the multiple ecosystem services, economic value, and effect of land use change on economic value. This paper provides evidence of the quantitative.

Community perception to pay for conservation of Barekese and Owabi watersheds in Ghana.

There is growing concern globally to conserve natural systems including watersheds due to increasing forest degradation and deforestation. The Barekese and Owabi watersheds provide several ecosystem services to communities, health facilities and industries. The watersheds are found in a rapidly degrading environment due to increasing anthropogenic activities.

Extended producer responsibility in developing economies: Assessment of promoting factors through retail electronic firms for sustainable e-waste management.

The adoption of the extended producers' responsibility (EPR) principle as a mitigation strategy for e-waste management has gained impetus over the past few years. However, e-waste management in developing economies through retail electronic firms' or producer responsibility organization is still inceptive. This study identified and analysed promoting factors of EPR principle adoption through retail electronic firms in the Ghanaian electronic industry.

Life cycle stage practices and strategies for circular economy: assessment in construction and demolition industry of an emerging economy.

The strategic implementation of circular economy (CE) practices in the construction and demolition (C&D) industry is critical for achieving environmental sustainability goals. Understanding CE practices based on reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, remanufacture, and redesign (6R) principles from the perspective of the whole life cycle can promote the implementation of CE practices in the C&D industry. However, studies that shed light on this subject especially in emerging economies are generally lacking.
