Shows how practical economic levers can make the shipping industry more environmentally sustainable.
This study evaluates the relationship between the road network and deforestation and other negative impacts on indigenous people in Brazil.
Background: COVID-19 and the climate crisis have caused unprecedented disruptions across the world. Climate change has affected the mental health and wellbeing of children and adolescent.
This article This Article supports SDGs 9, 11 and 13 by looking at the case of FuelEU maritime as an example of policy change for decarbonisation of international maritime transport.
This study evaluates climate change impacts on U.S. agriculture using process-based and econometric models.
Castellanos-Barliza and León-Peláez 2023 investigated the recovery of physical-chemical and biological properties of Technosols in a chronosequence of drylands (over 7,10 and 21 years) in the El Cerrejón coal mine in Colombia. Their results showed significant improvements in soil properties, especially near the surface, with notable increases in soil N content and P solution after 7 years. Enhanced vegetation development over time contributed to higher soil organic matter, indicating successful rehabilitation and positive impacts of the restoration strategy in degraded mine spoils.
This article advances SDG # 13, 14, and 15 by arguing that ecosystem integrity is neglected but important for climate adaptation goals, and shows how linking ecosystem integrity to climate, biodiversity and sustainable development goals is crucial for optimal outcomes.
This article advances SDG # 13 and 9 by making recommendations for unlocking the mechanism by which the plastics industry is tied to the fossil fuel-based economies.
The article emphasizes the critical role of biodiversity in ensuring sustainable diets and nutrition security. It demonstrates that the Mediterranean diet, with its higher diversity in cultivated food plants, provides a model for sustainable eating patterns. The study highlights the need for integrated approaches in nutrition and agricultural policies to enhance biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and promote public health. Adopting sustainable diets such as the MD can lead to more resilient agro-food systems and healthier environments, benefiting both human and ecological well-being.
Monitoring the ocean carbon cycle is key to improved understanding. Satellites play a major role in our global carbon monitoring system. To make full use of satellite observations for ocean carbon monitoring the remote-sensing community needs to work closely with in-situ data experts, physical and biogeochemical modellers, Earth system scientists, climate scientists and marine policy experts.
