Prof. Magdalena Osińska – Dr. Muhammad Alamgir | Green Bonds and a Greener Future: How Smart Finance Can Power the Energy Transition
Imagine if buying a financial investment could help build a wind farm, expand a solar park, or modernise an electricity grid. That is the promise of green bonds, a rapidly growing form of investment designed to fund projects with environmental benefits. As the world searches for practical ways to tackle climate change while meeting rising energy demand, these financial tools are attracting increasing attention from governments, businesses, and investors alike. Yet an important question remains. Do green bonds genuinely make a measurable difference, or are they simply another well-intentioned financial product with limited real-world impact?
Sue Jaffer | Why Better Corporate Governance Could Save England and Wales’ Water Industry
Every time someone turns on a tap, they expect it to work. Clean water should arrive reliably, wastewater should disappear safely, and rivers and beaches should remain healthy for future generations. Most people rarely think about the companies and regulators working behind the scenes because these systems are supposed to function quietly and effectively. Yet in recent years, England and Wales have experienced repeated controversies over sewage pollution, rising public frustration, and questions about the financial health of some water companies. The obvious question is how an industry with extensive regulation could produce such disappointing outcomes.
Prof. Vibeke Vågenes – Cecilie Grevstad | When a Monthly Cycle Becomes a Barrier: Why Menstrual Health Matters for Girls’ Education in Tanzania
For millions of girls around the world, education represents hope. It offers the possibility of independence, financial security, improved health, and the chance to shape a different future from previous generations. Yet for many girls, the path to education is filled with obstacles that receive little attention. Some are obvious, such as poverty or long journeys to school. Others are far less visible, hidden behind silence, embarrassment and social expectations. One of the most overlooked is menstruation.
Dr. Gary Blau – Dr. Kyle Stephens | The Hidden Costs of the Digital Workplace: Why Employee Deviant Work Behaviour Needs an Additional Lens
The work of Dr. Gary Blau and Dr. Kyle Stephens of Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA asks an important question that is becoming increasingly relevant around the world. If the workplace has fundamentally changed, shouldn’t the way we measure employee deviant work behaviour change too? Their research argues the answer is yes because the consequences reach far beyond academic debate. Traditional work behaviour deviance examples include: someone deliberately arrives late, spending long coffee breaks chatting with colleagues, or working more slowly than usual. Others are spreading rumours, bullying coworkers, or damaging company property. These are the kinds of in-person, on-site deviant behaviours researchers have investigated, that is, why employees sometimes act against the interests of employing organisations.
