The concept of energy security has gained extensive attention in academic interest. We use firm-level data to evaluate China's energy security from 2013 to 2022. The newly devised energy security index reveals temporal variability, particularly during extreme events. Employing a risk diffusion network matrix, we uncover that risks encountered by energy firms can substantially compromise energy security through two key channels: corporate productivity and energy investment efficiency. Further causality tests reveal that disruptions like COVID-19 have intensified the link between China's energy security and geopolitical risks, suggesting a bidirectional causality. However, the results indicate a unidirectional predictive relationship flowing from global geopolitical risks to China's energy security. This study deepens theoretical insights into energy security and offers vital environmental management implications, underscoring the role of strategic risk management in sustaining energy resilience and efficiency amidst geopolitical and global challenges.

Purpose: This short communication explores how identity erosion among Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India, impacts their wellness and ecological stewardship. It aims to highlight culturally specific disruptions across generations and recommend policy responses that are identity-affirming and context-sensitive.
Methods: This exploratory qualitative study used an epistemological approach to understand tribal perceptions through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with elders and youth from select members of the PVTGs in the Nilgiris.

The global warming crisis, traceable to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, has called for more proactive measures to curb the emission levels. To this effect, several technologies have been suggested. Out of the lot, carbon capture, utilization, and storage have been identified as one of the most feasible and pragmatic methods.

Melamine is an additive used fraudulently to enrich foods with nitrogen, particularly in the dairy industry. It is also known as the main metabolite or degradation phytosanitary product of cyromazine. However, the numerous incidents involving living beings in aquatic environments, children and pets fed with products made from melamine in China and certain African countries have led to distrust of melamine in food.
