- Summary/Abstract: Climate change, air pollution and noise, among other environmental problems, are increasingly affecting human society and the natural environment. Among the main sources of greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions in the atmosphere is the transport sector. To decrease the use of fossil fuels in the transportation sector, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEVs) have been proposed as a potential alternative, among others. Although not completely green, from a life-cycle perspective, HFCEVs can have a lower climate impact than conventional vehicles, depending on how the hydrogen is produced. Widespread use of renewable energy sources can significantly reduce this impact. The research results show an increase in HFCEV sales recently (but far below the level of battery electric vehicles), concerns about the introduction of hydrogen in all transport sectors (road, rail, sea or air), still limited distribution of the infrastructure refuelling, and high production costs. HFCEVs could contribute to the decarbonization of transport and all efforts, including research and development, should be stepped up to support them and identify the best solutions to current challenges.

- Keywords: Climate variability; adaptation strategies; Central Plateau region; Burkina Faso
- Summary/Abstract: Climate variability presents major challenges across Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso. This article analyses the adaptation strategies implemented by local populations and development actors to cope with this phenomenon in the Central Plateau region. Conducted in October 2023 in three villages in the region, the research combines field observations, semi-structured interviews and documentary research. The results reveal a range of coping strategies adopted by local people. In agriculture, these include the use of short-cycle varieties, the planting of trees to counter the high heat, and soil conservation techniques to combat drought. Livestock farmers have also developed strategies such as transhumance and the construction of shelters adapted to the climate. In market gardening, the use of compost and innovative irrigation techniques is widespread. Development players, particularly technical services and NGOs, are supporting these initiatives by promoting sustainable agricultural practices and encouraging the construction of resilient infrastructure. This article thus highlights the importance of local adaptation to climate change and the crucial role of development players in strengthening community resilience to climate variability.

- Keywords: nature-based tourism; motivation; satisfaction; tourist inflow; perception
- Summary/Abstract: Tourism refers to the act of individuals or groups spending time away from home for amusement, relaxation, and pleasure while utilizing commercial services. Meanwhile, the patronage of tourist destinations in Nigeria is influenced by various factors, including motivations and perceptions visitors had when they visit such destinations, which can impact customer patronage. This study was carried out in LUFASI in Lagos state, Nigeria. A total number of 359 respondents were selected using Yamane (1967) formula. A well-structured close-ended questionnaire was used for data collection, and the results were statistically analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. This study revealed that the primary motivation for most respondents to engage in tourism was fun, with 49.9% of the respondents agreeing and 44.3% strongly agreeing. Additionally, 45.4% were satisfied and 44.0% of the respondents were very satisfied with the park. The visitors were motivated to visit the park for the followingreasons: novelty, relaxation/escape, relationships, nature, and self-development. The study also found that the management of LUFASI Park is doing a commendable job in managing and protecting their natural environment by ensuring that the inflow of tourists and their activities does not affect the natural resources. Lufasi Park has an impressive environment that provides a high level of satisfaction for tourists from diverse backgrounds.

- Keywords: EXIT Festival; EXIT Foundation; corporate social responsibility
- Summary/Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a term used to describe strategies companies apply to make them more ethical and friendly towards the community. The subject whose CSR activities proved to be of special interest, because of the scope of their influence, is the EXIT Foundation, the official organizer of the famous EXIT Festival, which has been held at the Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia since 2000. On the tenth anniversary of the founding of the EXIT Foundation, it was decided to conduct a retrospective analysis of the socially responsible activities conducted by this foundation. This analysis aimed to determine what types of CSR activities were conducted by the Foundation to pinpoint the main field of action, what fields were neglected, and to whom further attention should be given in the future. The multidimensional approach of implemented socially responsible initiatives made it impossible to identify a key field that could potentially be considered the focus of the CRS activities of the EXIT Foundation. However, based on the impact achieved by the festival itself, the need to focus future initiatives on the dimension of environmental protection was identified.

- Keywords: urban regeneration; urban wasteland; urban requalification; Bardo; Constantine
- Summary/Abstract: This article explores the urban regeneration project of an old, decaying district called Bardo, located in the city center of Constantine, Algeria, examining its impact on the physical transformation of the district and its image, as well as the reactions of the local population. The study focuses on the conversion of a former shantytown into an urban park, the beautification of the riverside area, and the resulting changes in the neighborhood’s perception. The research utilizes a qualitative methodology, including interviews with stakeholders and analysis of historical and administrative documents. It finds that while the urban park has significantly enhanced the city’s landscape and created a new public space, the project’s focus on visual appeal has not fully addressed the underlying social and economic challenges faced by residents. The project’s success in attracting tourism and investment comes at the expense of neglecting long-term community needs, raising concerns about the sustainability and equity of development. Ultimately, the study argues that urban regeneration projects must adopt a holistic approach that considers the social and economic needs of local communities, going beyond purely aesthetic transformations to create inclusive and equitable urban environments.

- Keywords: globalization; global cities; urbanization; global economy; ecological challenges
- Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on globalization and its impact on the world’s urban centers, i.e., on the interaction of globalization and (large) cities. The globalization of cities refers to the process by which the cities become increasingly involved in global economic, political, social and cultural networks. This process means that cities, especially large and important urban centers, become key actors on the international scene, transcending national borders and establishing a direct connection with global markets, cultures, communications and political structures. Special attention is devoted to the development of the so-called global cities, which represent key centers of economic, political and cultural power. The environmental challenges that globalized cities bring are also examined. Finally, the paper considers specific aspects of globalization within the context of Montenegro, analyzing how global processes affect development in that country.
