This study aimed to evaluate the impact of built environment (i.e., walk, transit, and bike scores) on location transportation or “alternative transportation” credit (LTc1) in Leadership Energy Environmental Design for Existing Buildings version 4 (LEED-EB-v4) Platinum (n1 = 24), Gold (n2 112), Silver (n3 46), Certified (n4 34) office buildings USA. Spearman’s test was used estimate correlation between scores LTc1 each certification level. The Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney pairwise comparison unpaired Platinum, Gold, Silver, groups. levels showed positive significant correlations (0.44 ≤ r 0.74, p 0.0312). By contrast, a non-significant (0.18 0.33, ≥ 0.0579). Pairwise that groups outperformed terms (Cliff’s δ 0.37, 0.0099). Thus, LEED-EBv4-certified projects located downtown areas, can be seen as lever achieve high LEED certification.

We provide a summary of the progress all 53 assessed components describing global alignment with Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) International Energy Agency (IEA), an intermediate trajectory scope 2030. The (grouped in eight categories) cover sectors (such as Transport, and Buildings), subsectors Aviation, Building Envelopes), technologies Biofuels, Electrification), infrastructure cross-cutting strategies CO2 Transport Storage, Electrolyzers). For each component, IEA assigned one three qualitative levels; namely “On track”, “More efforts needed”, or “Not on track”. IEA’s assessment results were made publicly available form online web-based report, titled “Tracking Clean Progress”, TCEP, which was published 12/July/2023. Out TCEP’s components, only rated these are (1) Solar Photovoltaic (PV), (2) Electric Vehicles (EV), (3) Lighting. remaining 50 TCEP; 28 22 propose quantitative aggregate numerical score to describe overall clean energy transition reflected TCEP we compute it 2.23/4 (or 55.7%). Finally, present selected historical records (based data) about satisfactory for transition.

Clarifying the spatial relationships and impact mechanisms of forest carbon storage is essential for designing sink policies promoting coordinated regional sustainable development. Using panel data from 21 cities in Guangdong Province between 2012 2021, this study employs accumulation expansion method, exploratory analysis (ESDA), econometric models to investigate distribution, spillover effects, storage. The results show following: (1) During period, exhibited a fluctuating upward trend notable disparities, with highest levels observed northern region. (2) Forest exhibits correlation characteristics positive effect, value 0.2394. (3) Temperature has negative effect on storage, while gross product demonstrates direct effect. In contrast, labor afforestation are key factors that possess significant effects. Therefore, developing sinks, it recommended government implement adaptation strategies strengthen inter-city cooperation promote
