Item Restricted Climate governance and carbon transparency: Evidence from nonfinancial firms(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-03-18)Purpose: The Asia-Pacific region faces high stakeholder pressures because of its significant carbon emissions and vulnerability to climate change impacts. In this context, integrating climate concerns into corporate governance has the potential to enhance corporate sustainability commitment and address climate concerns from various stakeholder groups. This study examines the determinants of corporate carbon transparency from the perspective of climate governance among Asia-Pacific nonfinancial firms as well as the role of stakeholder pressures in shaping this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a sample of 5,391 firm-year observations from 2016 to 2021, this study uses an ordinal logistic model to analyze how climate governance affects firm carbon transparency, measured by the Carbon Disclosure Project score. This study also uses a lead-lag approach and Heckman’s two-stage method to mitigate potential endogeneity concerns. Findings: Climate governance has a significant positive impact on the level of carbon transparency. Specifically, climate governance mechanisms, including the existence of a sustainability committee, climate risk awareness and environmental, social and governance-related incentives, can promote the level of carbon transparency in Asia-Pacific non-financial firms. Further analysis reveals that stakeholder pressures influence this relationship, with a stronger positive effect observed for firms listed on foreign exchanges and those operating in countries with civil law systems. Originality/value: This study contributes to the growing body of research on how climate governance may encourage more transparent carbon disclosure in Asia-Pacific nonfinancial firms. These insights can help investors, managers and policymakers promote a more sustainable and environmentally responsible business landscape in the region.Item Open Access Direct drilling using the Roto-drill(Lincoln College. New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute)The Roto-drill concept was first used by a New Zealand farmer to introduce new pasture species in native grasslands. The N.Z.A.E.I. has carried out machine development and agronomic trial work to establish the effectiveness of this concept.Item Restricted Protecting and restoring freshwater biodiversity across urban areas in Aotearoa New Zealand — Motivating urban residents to volunteer for waterway restoration(New Zealand's Biological Heritage National Science Challenge | Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho, 2024-03)This synthesis was prepared by New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge | Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho, Empowering Kaitiakitanga & Environmental Stewardship research team. Unless New Zealanders are inspired to act and work together for a common goal, the response to our biodiversity crisis will be disjointed, ad-hoc, and potentially counterproductive. Our research focuses on addressing this dilemma. It is about helping New Zealanders take charge of caring for the environment by understanding the values and motivations that drive some people to actively protect our natural heritage. It is also about understanding the reciprocal relationships between people in the landscape – some of whom actively intervene on behalf of the environment – and the ecosystems in which they live.Item Restricted Protecting and restoring freshwater biodiversity across urban areas in Aotearoa New Zealand: Enhancing public reporting of pollution in urban stormwater drains and waterways 2024(New Zealand’s Biological Heritage Science Challenge | Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho, 2024)This synthesis was prepared by New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge | Ngā Koiora Tuku Iho, Empowering Kaitiakitanga & Environmental Stewardship research team.
