Conservation and restoration of mangrove blue carbon ecosystems are vital for climate mitigation. Our study shows that former aquaculture ponds remain suitable for restoration, offering significant carbon benefits and guiding cost-effective strategies.

Global climate overshoot scenarios rely heavily on land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), but the IPCC’s optimistic technical and economic potentials overlook the unquantified “feasible” potential shaped by socio-cultural, environmental, and institutional factors. This article proposes research frameworks to quantify this feasible potential, urging caution in using techno-economic CDR assessments for policymaking.

This article proposed a new research framework to help better account for the broader sustainability (e.g. local community well-being, affordability, accessibility) in the net-zero energy transition

The paper explores maritime environmental regulations, analyzing industry perspectives and their operational execution.

Mitigating urban overheating is crucial for livable cities, yet this study of 7,500+ actions in 2,500+ European cities reveals a heavy focus on green and water solutions, limited use of smart systems, and gaps in addressing vulnerable populations and combinatorial strategies.
