Overcoming the coupled climate and biodiversity crises and their societal impacts

Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 380(6642)

Опубликована: Апрель 20, 2023

Earth's biodiversity and human societies face pollution, overconsumption of natural resources, urbanization, demographic shifts, social economic inequalities, habitat loss, many which are exacerbated by climate change. Here, we review links among climate, biodiversity, society develop a roadmap toward sustainability. These include limiting warming to 1.5°C effectively conserving restoring functional ecosystems on 30 50% land, freshwater, ocean "scapes." We envision mosaic interconnected protected shared spaces, including intensively used strengthen self-sustaining the capacity people nature adapt mitigate change, nature's contributions people. Fostering interlinked human, ecosystem, planetary health for livable future urgently requires bold implementation transformative policy interventions through institutions, governance, systems from local global levels.

Climate Change and Small Island Developing States

Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 45(1), С. 1 - 27

Опубликована: Май 14, 2020

Despite their heterogeneity, small island developing states (SIDS) are recognized as being particularly at risk to climate change, and, they share numerous common traits, the United Nations recognizes them a special group. SIDS have been quite vocal in calling attention challenges face from change and advocating for greater international ambition limit global warming. Here, we unpack factors that helpful understanding relationship between through review of studies span disciplines methodologies. We assess patterns hazards, exposure, vulnerability; impacts risks; awareness knowledge; adaptation planning implementation; mitigation; loss damage; justice provide an overarching literature on SIDS.

Atomic Tuning of Single-Atom Fe–N–C Catalysts with Phosphorus for Robust Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction

Nano Letters, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 22(4), С. 1557 - 1565

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2022

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals possesses huge potentials alleviate current environmental problems. However, it is confronted by great challenges in the design active electrocatalysts with low overpotentials high product selectivity. Here we report atomic tuning a single-Fe-atom catalyst phosphorus (Fe-N/P-C) on commercial carbon black as robust electrocatalyst for reduction. Fe-N/P-C exhibits impressive performance CO, Faradaic efficiency 98% mass-normalized turnover frequency 508.8 h-1 at overpotential 0.34 V. On basis ex-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements DFT calculations, reveal that P catalysts reduces oxidation state Fe center decreases free-energy barrier *CO intermediate formation, consequently maintaining electrocatalytic activity stability catalysts.

The importance of food systems and the environment for nutrition

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 113(1), С. 7 - 16

Опубликована: Окт. 7, 2020

Global and local food system transformation is necessary in order to ensure the delivery of healthy, safe, nutritious foods both sustainable equitable ways. Food systems are complex entities that affect diets, human health, a range other outcomes including economic growth, natural resource environmental resiliency, sociocultural factors. However, contribute vulnerable ongoing climate changes threaten their sustainability. Although there has been increased focus on this topic recent years, many gaps our knowledge persist relation between factors, systems, nutritional outcomes. In article, we summarize emerging field describe what innovative nutrition research needed bring about policy era disruption degradation.

Changing Lengths of the Four Seasons by Global Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 48(6)

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2021

Abstract How long will the four seasons be by 2100? Increasing evidence suggests that length of a single season or in regional scales has changed under global warming, but hemispherical‐scale response past and future remains unknown. We find summer Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes lengthened, whereas winter shortened, owing to shifts their onsets withdrawals, accompanied shorter spring autumn. Such changes lengths can mainly attributed greenhouse‐warming. Even if current warming rate does not accelerate, still exacerbated future. Under business‐as‐usual scenario, is projected last nearly half year, less than 2 months 2100. The changing seasonal clock signifies disturbed agriculture rhythm species activities, more frequent heat waves, storms wildfires, amounting increased risks humanity.
