It has been widely recognised that the threats to human health from global environmental changes (GECs) are increasing in Anthropocene epoch, and urgent actions required tackle these pressing challenges. A scoping review was conducted provide an overview of nine planetary boundaries population posed by activities exceeding Anthropocene. The research progress key knowledge gaps were identified this emerging field. Over past three decades, there a great deal on risks climate change, land-use change urbanisation, biodiversity loss other GECs. However, several significant challenges remain, including misperception relationship between nature; assessment compounding GECs; strategies reduce prevent potential impacts uncertainties fulfilling commitments Paris Agreement. Confronting will require rigorous scientific is well-coordinated across different disciplines various sectors. imperative for international community work together develop informed policies avert crises ensure safe sustainable planet present future generations.

Published: Aug. 30, 2022

Global warming is a serious environmental problem facing the world in 21st century. Carbon dioxide, an important greenhouse gas, driver of global warming. Rapid urbanization has not only improved quality life, but also led to radical increases carbon emissions. In order achieve win-win situation between and emissions reduction, research on decoupling relationship great significance, especially Africa, where advancing rapidly. This study explores different types (demographic urbanization, spatial economic social urbanization) Africa. The results show that demographic similar Only 4 33 African countries studied have achieved four from long period (2000-2018). These findings can provide some guidance for sustainable development

Combustion is an essential process for humanity, but it has created turbulence in society due to the pollutant emissions from partial completion of its and byproducts. The regular population unaware repercussions being faced terms health deterioration, product quality degradation, biodiversity loss, environmental harm. Although strategic planning against effects applied sideways by authorities local industrial facilities, awareness still minimal. indicators bioremediation required, observed through increased sales pharmaceutical medicines supplements, air filters, new techniques, include smog, elevation respiratory disease, immune system decreasing life span, increasing mortality rate, degradation food water quality. This article gives a brief overview problems uncontrolled combustion activities, sources pollutants, their creation, emission, dispersal process, along with mitigation techniques developed overcome after-effects on human environment.
