This study shows that the growth of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles significantly contributes to rising carbon dioxide levels and global warming, and suggests that investing in clean energy vehicles and implementing effective policies are crucial to reducing climate change and promoting sustainable development. As part of the research, the authors develop a new mathematical model to analyze the impact of fossil fuel vehicle emissions on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global warming.
This piece demonstrates the extent to which switching to clean electricity can create co-benefits for climate and human health. Right timing given Trump's love of coal.
By addressing the health, energy, urban, climate, and environmental aspects of air pollution and climate change, the article supports the achievement of SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 15: Life on Land.
This article describes a method to measure the water use efficiency or adaptability of plants in response to atmospheric changes like temperature and carbon dioxide.
This research demonstrates how the engineering concept of dynamic similitude can be successfully applied to a lab-scale carbon capture column, allowing its performance to accurately predict that of a larger pilot-scale system. Accurately scaling these technologies is a crucial step for the rapid, widespread deployment of carbon management solutions needed to effectively limit global temperature increase and mitigate the severe impacts of climate change.
This review investigates the emerging market for Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, which is crucial for mitigating climate change by actively removing $\text{CO}_2$ from the atmosphere. By detailing the technologies used by over 50 DAC startups and identifying their potential customers, this work aims to accelerate the worldwide commercial deployment of a technology necessary to meet global temperature limits.
This article ties to SDG3 by examining new methods to assess impact of climate change
This article ties to SDG3 by examining ambient temperature and inpatient mortality
Excessive heat due to climate change and air pollution are both worse in cities, but many pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) policies synergistically address both. This One Earth Research Article shows the health benefits of such efforts, which are necessary for improving life in cities (SDG 11).
This One Earth Research Article shows how reducing emissions of pollutants that contribute to unhealthy ozone levels in cities* can have benefits for both pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) for improved life in cities (SDG 11). *Note that ozone is a pollutant in the lower atmosphere but necessary for UV protection in the stratosphere.
