Abstract Urbanization, followed by reduced green space, often leads to increased land surface temperatures (LST), which is also known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Urban cooling ecosystem services provided forests and parks play a crucial role in reducing UHI effect (which reflected LST) improving liveability sustainability of cities. The pandemic has changed many people’s views about importance their well-being. post-pandemic era turning point for infrastructure environmental improvements increase services’ benefits. This study aims look at potential increasing benefits through provision based on conditions Surakarta city. In this study, was identified from LST Landsat 8 9 remote sensing images. spatial pattern analyzed block units using road boundaries cluster outlier statistical analysis. formulating alternatives provide parks, we interviewed stakeholders village revitalization program Kampung Mojo, results show that after pandemic, revitalized neighborhood, temperature still high. did not include because basic issue ownership legality. Nevertheless, provides evidence needed central southern sides city enhance services.

Indian cities have frequently observed intense and severe heat waves for the last few years. It will be primarily due to a significant increase in variation wave characteristics like duration, frequency, intensity across urban regions of India. This study determine impact future climate scenarios SSP 245 585 over characteristics. present comparison between historical time (1981 2020) with projections, i.e., D1 (2021-2046), D2 (2047-2072), D3 (2073-2098) different smart cities. is that Coastal, Interior Peninsular, North-Central observe frequent under scenarios.

As a pandemic hotspot in Japan, between March 1, 2020–October 2022, Tokyo metropolis experienced seven COVID-19 waves. Motivated by the high rate of incidence and mortality during seventh wave, environmental/health challenges we conducted time-series analysis to investigate long-term interaction air quality climate variability with viral Tokyo. Through daily time series geospatial observational pollution/climate data, death cases, this study compared environmental conditions multiwaves. In spite five State Emergency (SOEs) restrictions associated pandemic, (2020–2022) period recorded low improvements relative (2015–2019) average annual values, namely: Aerosol Optical Depth increased 9.13% 2020 year, declined 6.64% 2021, 12.03% 2022; particulate matter PM2.5 PM10 decreased 2020, 2022 years 10.22%, 62.26%, 0.39%, respectively 4.42%, 3.95%, 5.76%. For (2021–2022) ratio PM2.5/PM10 was (0.319 ± 0.1640), showing higher contribution aerosol loading traffic-related coarse particles comparison fine particles. The highest rates cases wave (1 July 2022–1 October 2022) may be attributed accumulation near ground levels pollutants pathogens due to: 1) peculiar persistent atmospheric anticyclonic circulation strong positive anomalies geopotential height at 500 hPa; 2) lower Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) heights; 3) maximum temperature land surface prolonged heat waves (HWs) summer 4) no imposed restrictions. Such findings can guide public decision-makers design proper strategies curb pandemics under stable weather HWs large metropolitan areas.

High levels of sulfur dioxide (SO2) due to human activities pose a serious air pollution issue in China, especially urban agglomerations. However, limited research has investigated the impact anthropogenic emissions on higher SO2 concentrations regions compared rural areas China. Here, we analyzed trends from 1980 2021 China using Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2 (MERRA-2) dataset. column Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Ozone Instrument (OMI) during years 2007–2021 were also examined validation comparison purposes. Eight representative areas, including four (Pearl River Delta [PRD], Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei [BTH], Yangtze [YRD], Sichuan Basin [SCB]) (Northeast Region [NER], Mongolian [MR], West [WR], Tibetan Plateau [TR]) selected analysis. Overall, significant but fluctuating increase over was observed 1980–2021. During 1980–1997 2000–2010, there an concentration, while 1997–2000 2010–2021, decreasing trend observed. The average concentration approximately 16 times than background. We found that dynamics highly associated with expansion population density, gross domestic product. Nonetheless, since 2007, have exhibited downward trend, which is mainly attributed policies implemented by Chinese government. Our findings highlight need further studies regional climate change
