The study highlights that per capita consumption and income are primary drivers of China's industrial process-related GHG emissions, with emission intensity and product structure changes serving as key offsetting factors, emphasizing the importance of macroeconomic and technological considerations for effective mitigation.

This study develops a capacity expansion model with grid operational detail and high spatial resolution to examine decadal pathways to carbon neutrality by 2060 considering localized and temporal impacts.

This study finds that high levels of air pollution in India, including in rural regions, are significantly associated with respiratory illness in young children, a significant source of childhood morbidity and mortality. 

Heatwaves driven by climate change significantly increase the frequency and duration of power outages in China, with projected future increases emphasizing the need for grid upgrades and adaptive strategies.

This study projects China's agricultural environmental impacts under different socioeconomic pathways, showing that sustainable development (SSP1) could reduce impacts by up to 76% by 2050, while less cooperative scenarios (SSP3) may lead to smaller reductions or increases. The results highlight the critical influence of agricultural policies in driving environmental sustainability and decarbonization across China's regions.

The Elsevier Foundation and RIKEN's report, ‘Envisioning Futures: Amplifying women’s voices and leadership in Japanese Science’, calls on research institutions to expand definitions of excellence beyond traditional metrics to include mentorship, collaboration and societal impact.  Ylann Schemm, executive director of the Elsevier Foundation is among the leaders featured, sharing insights on the importance of resilience and flexibility in shaping diverse STEM careers. 

This study applied sodium lignosulfonate (SL) and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as functional filler and structure components, respectively, on the cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)-based films, which shows promise towards improving shelf life in food packaging.

Focusing on the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), this study examines how drought and salinity intrusion from 2000 to 2020 influences rice cropping, aquaculture area, and rice yield across seven coastal provinces.

The article concludes that meeting South East Asia ’s protein needs demands a dual focus on both quantity and quality, tailored to population-specific requirements and life stages. Sustainable solutions should leverage a mix of animal, plant, and novel protein sources, prioritizing local resources and innovations that enhance nutritional value and consumer acceptance. It cautions against simplistic shifts to plant-based diets, given persistent undernutrition and socioeconomic disparities, and stresses that future food policies and innovations must be guided by nutrient adequacy, environmental sustainability, safety, and cultural relevance to ensure robust and equitable improvements in regional nutrition.

This study takes a hybrid approach for predicting features of future food security in China
