    Teoría y práctica de los convenios de transición justa una decidida apuesta por la sostenibilidad ambiental.
    (Colex, 2025) Rodríguez Escanciano, Susana; Prieto Padín, Patricia; Sin departamento asociado
    Este trabajo examina cómo los Convenios de Transición Justa (CTJ) se han convertido en una herramienta clave dentro de la estrategia española para hacer frente al cambio climático, combinando sostenibilidad ambiental con justicia social. Se parte del compromiso con un modelo de desarrollo más respetuoso con el entorno, que a su vez impulse la creación de empleo verde y digno, especialmente en territorios y sectores vulnerables.A lo largo del análisis, se abordan las principales políticas públicas adoptadas en este contexto, prestando especial atención al diseño legal de los CTJ, su implementación práctica y los mecanismos de seguimiento que permiten evaluar su impacto. También se destacan los avances más relevantes logrados hasta ahora, sin dejar de lado los desafíos que aún persisten, como la desigualdad territorial, la lentitud en la ejecución o la necesidad de integrar sectores como el turismo que también enfrenta reformas estructurales y ambientales en el contexto de la transición ecológica.Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre el papel del empleo en el nuevo modelo energético, subrayando la importancia de garantizar que la transición ecológica sea también una oportunidad para mejorar la calidad del trabajo y reducir las brechas sociales.

    The moderating effect of economic viability between sustainable tourism dimensions and tourist satisfaction in Ethiopia using partial least squares
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2023) Girma Dibiku, Mulugeta
    Visitors’ contentment is essential to the development of sustainable tourism and eco-nomic development. In order to examine the moderating role of economic value between environmental sustainable tourism, a destination’s local prosperity, socio-cultural issues, and the sustainability and satisfaction of tourists, this study was conducted using empirical research design. 382 valid replies for the current investigation were used for further analysis. Overseas travellers were asked to fill the questionnaires at Harar, Gondar, Bahardar and Dire Dawa that are the Ethiopia’s most popular tourist destinations. The proposed hypotheses were tested using partial least squares (PLS) after careful screening of the data. Results from this study show that economic ability is an important moderator of local prosperity, environ-mental sustainability, socio-cultural stability and tourist satisfaction. As a result, the nation’s economy must be strengthened in order to provide a healthy environment and a positive visitor experience, both of which appear to be directly linked.

    (2023) León Gómez, Ana; Garza Sánchez, Héctor Horacio; Santos Jaén, José Manuel; Palacios Manzano, Mercedes; Economía Financiera y Contabilidad
    This research inquiry explores the interplay between environmentally sustainable practices, technological innovations and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) performance in Mexico’s tourism sector. The tourism industry in Mexico holds immense economic signifcance, contributing signifcantly to employment and revenue generation. However, the sector also faces challenges related to environmental sustainability. Thus, the objective of this research is to assess how the integration of sustainable environmental practices infuences the operational outcomes of SMEs. Furthermore, it also aims to conclude the role of technological innovation, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), digitalization and gender in this relationship. A structural equation modeling approach was applied to a sample of 797 Mexican SMEs in the tourism sector. Our fndings provide evidence of several contributions: frst, environmental sustainability practices improve performance; second, technological innovation, ICT and digitalization play a critical mediating role in specifc relationships to foster performance; fnally, incentives encourage sustainable practices related to environmental improvement, especially when the SME’s CEO is a woman. The results of this study hold practical signifcance for the SME sector, as it demonstrates that by adopting sustainable practices, SMEs can strengthen their market position, improve technological innovativeness, minimize environmental impact and capitalize on emerging business prospects.
