Global emissions embodied in trade (EET) constitute approximately one-third of total carbon emissions. Although countries combat environmental impacts via international cooperation, it is unclear whether these social efforts fit the ecological challenges. It imperative to assess between agreements (IEAs) and EET. The article constructed global social-ecological networks during 1995–2021 for 189 countries. Based on assumption a Poisson-Binomial distribution, were statistically verified by bipartite exponential random graph modeling (ERGM). To measure degree fit, tested quadratic assignment procedure (QAP) correlation logistic regression. Results: (1) Social-ecological IEAs EET decreased last 27 years from 0.313 0.138, with effect network weakened; (2) relative importance world contribution outlines regional blocks; (3) An 8.681-year cycle was modeled predicted future shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenarios until 2050; (4) proposed ERGM-QAP method exhibits computational advantage, applicable other large-scale problems. interpreted as efficiency impact internalization, equity cooperation effectiveness human-nature interactions. Policy implications include accelerating IEA ratification, establishing unified ETS within top-contributing linking cap-and-trade systems issuing common credits internalize externalities.

The latest emerging transdisciplinary marine protected area (MPA) research scheme requires efficient approaches for theoretically based and data-driven method integration. However, due to the rapid development diversification of methods, it is growingly difficult locate new methods in methodological dimensions integrate them utmost utility. This study proposes a deep learning-based classification framework MPA management focused particularly on data theory capabilities using natural language processing (NLP). It extracted keywords from academic sources performed clustering semantic similarity, generating benchmark texts abstract labeling. By training learning NLP model analyzing abstracts 9049 empirical articles 1986 2024, scores were attributed each article, total 19 major categories 110 segment branches identified qualitative, quantitative, mixed genres. Combination types summarized, yielding data-theory neutralization principle where average tend approximate 0.50. Applying broadens traditional boundaries integration extends synthesis higher numbers, practical 2paradigm future research. Implications include bridging social ecological data, theorizing emergent challenges complex systems integrating construction science. applicable quantification other environmental disciplines can serve as guidance multidisciplinary © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
