Transportation electrification is a critical step toward energy transition and a low-carbon society, with wide-ranging social and economic impacts. This study examines the significant role of the 2023 United Auto Workers strike in the context of transportation electrification, with a focus on its implications for the automotive industry and labor market dynamics.

Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.

Until now, the absence of data on global building floorspace has impeded the measurement of building carbon intensity (carbon emissions per floorspace) and the identification of ways to achieve carbon neutrality for buildings. For this study, we develop a global building stock model (GLOBUS) to fill that data gap.

Focusing on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, this piece underscores their significance in realizing sustainability and carbon neutrality goals, particularly within challenging sectors.

The present research focuses on the gap and need for developing global heat wave frameworks to effectively identify dangerous heat wave outdoor conditions over diverse climatic and geographic regions. This development will be helpful for climate scientists, health professionals, policymakers, and communities in developing mitigation strategies and raising awareness of heat risks.

This paper systematically reviews the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives of AI in battery research and applications for EVs.

This article provides a valuable tool for developing hypoxia scenarios, aiding in identifying restoration hotspots for climate-threatened lagoons.

This One Earth Research Article shows how increasing urbanization & land use change is contributing to warmer temperatures at regional and continental scales. The results have important implications regarding the need for climate mitigation and adaptation (SDG 13), urban planning (SDG 11) and the terrestrial biosphere (SDG 15).

This paper provides guidance for assessment of trade-offs from a human valuation perspective, thus supporting policy makers when considering arguments for salt marsh management within the context of the 30x30 targets for protected areas.

This One Earth Commentary discusses how policy makers could accelerate social change towards climate action (SDG 13) in their cities and communities (SDG 11) by reducing early inertia.
