Sea level rise (SLR) has and will continue to impact coastal communities in the coming decades. Despite the widespread availability of data on SLR projections, little is known about the differential impact of SLR on minority or economically disadvantaged populations. In this study, we aim to identify the geographic areas in which low-income and communities of color along the North and South Carolina coastline in the United States will experience the most severe effects of SLR.
To limit global warming to well-below 2°C (WB2C), fossil fuels must be replaced by low-carbon energy sources. Support for this transition is often dampened by the impact on fossil fuel jobs.
Background: Europe has emerged as a major climate change hotspot, both in terms of an increase in seasonal averages and climate extremes.
Owing to its versatility, biomass can be used for a range of CO2 mitigation and removal options.
Record climate extremes are reducing urban liveability, compounding inequality, and threatening infrastructure.

This chapter advances UN SDG goal 12 by ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns
Within recent years, demand as well as supply of products to replace meat, so called meat alternatives, have increased. For future products, new plant-based protein sources are of high interest.
Global warming is adversely affecting the earth's climate system due to rapid emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
