Halting global warming (SDG 13) requires at minimum achieving net-zero GHG emissions; keeping warming under 2C or 1.5C requires reaching net-zero emissions before the GHG levels exceed concentrations compatible with those temperature targets. This One Earth research article models how countries working in their own self-interest might collaborate to reach those agreed upon goals.
Shows how practical economic levers can make the shipping industry more environmentally sustainable.

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.
