Many countries, subnational jurisdictions, and companies are setting net-zero emissions goals; however, questions remain about strategies to reach these targets, policy measures, technology gaps, and economic impacts. We investigate the potential policy implications of reaching economy-wide net-zero CO2 emissions across the United States by 2050 using results from a multi-model comparison with 14 energy-economic models.

This study analyzes decarbonization efforts of 1,095 European firms, identifying six key strategic pathways—ranging from risk diagnosis to supply chain redesign—and uses a systems dynamics approach to reveal how these interconnected strategies influence climate risk performance. The findings offer valuable tools for managers and policymakers to coordinate supply chain actions more effectively, fostering continuous innovation and improved sustainability outcomes.

This review highlights how the nature crisis, particularly climate change, is reshaping the distribution and intensity of diseases, posing significant challenges for global and local health policies. It underscores the urgent need for adaptive, multidisciplinary health strategies that address vulnerable populations and prioritize mitigation efforts to build a sustainable relationship between humans and nature.

The study finds that Chinese listed companies' increasing carbon footprints, primarily from value chain emissions, are associated with higher expected returns, indicating a carbon damage risk premium recognized by investors.

The article examines the complex systemic risks and vulnerabilities arising from the transition to renewable energy and climate change, emphasizing the need for integrated risk management and collaboration to enhance resilience for first responders and policymakers.

This paper highlights the potential of engineered mineral carbonation to transform cement and concrete into effective carbon sinks by enhancing CO2 storage while maintaining material performance, emphasizing the use of alkaline industrial residues and carbonatable binders. It proposes a strategic roadmap integrating scientific innovation, regulation, and carbon accounting to promote climate-positive construction.

This study examined the link between extreme heat waves and age-adjusted cardio-kideny-metabolic mortality in US counties from 2010 to 2019

The article proposes a predictive control strategy for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that utilizes route information from digital map providers to enable electric driving within zero-emission zones. The study develops a supervisory control with Dynamic Programming in the cloud to calculate an optimal State of Charge (SOC) trajectory, which is then used to guide the rule-based controller in the vehicle.

Current WASH resilience approaches in low- and middle-income countries are too narrowly focused on specific risks and overlook broader socio-environmental impacts of climate change, limiting their effectiveness. The paper argues for a transformative approach, proposing a research agenda to guide when, how, and by whom WASH systems should be restructured and how progress can be evaluated.

This study investigates the use of problem-based learning (PBL) by geography teachers in Northwest Ethiopia to address deforestation and climate change education.
