Promotion or inhibition of land use change impacts on the carbon neutrality target
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the ‘Third Pole,’ plays a key role in the global climate system. This study analyzes the characteristics and drivers of CO2 emissions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, based on land use and energy consumption data from 2000, 2010, and 2020. Emissions and their spatial – temporal dynamics were assessed using a land use transfer matrix, emission coefficients, the carbon footprint model, and the Geodetector met…
Bridging awareness and investment behavior
Advocating for low-carbon residential energy usage is crucial for attaining China's carbon neutrality objectives. This study utilizes a stratified survey of 741 households in Zhongshan to investigate the interplay between educational attainment and environmental responsibility awareness in influencing the willingness to pay extra for energy-efficient appliances. It also examines the spatial and behavioral dynamics underlying these decisions. The …
Adaptive management for improving livestock production and grassland conservation in pastoral Qinghai, China
Balancing grassland conservation with livestock production often involves trade-offs, yet synergy can be achieved through strategic adjustments in herder behaviors for livestock husbandry, particularly in regions dominated by traditional extensive grazing practices where investigations into optimal solutions that reconcile ecological and economic benefits remain limited. In this study, the grassland‒livestock balance at the county level in Qingha…
Household energy carbon emissions and energy inefficiency in high-altitude urban areas
Hybrid polymer network cathode-enabled soluble-polysulfide-free lithium–sulfur batteries
Among the emerging ‘beyond lithium-ion’ technologies for maximized sustainability, lithium–sulfur (Li–S) is a favoured chemistry because of its exceptional energy density from the conversion of sulfur, an element in abundant supply. However, the dissolution of several intermediate polysulfides formed during conversion leads to rapid performance degradation over cycling. Here we address this issue by sulfurizing a hybrid polymer network with polyp…
Prevention capacity significantly reduced the livestock exposure to snow hazards across the Qinghai Plateau
Livestock snow disaster is one of the most serious natural disasters in pastoral areas during cold seasons, leading to substantial livestock losses over the past few decades. Accurate assessment of livestock exposure is crucial for reducing the risk of livestock snow disaster, while much less is known about the livestock exposure due to the lack of available gridded livestock density data with long time series. In this study, the gridded density …

Future climate change significantly alters interannual wheat yield variability over half of harvested areas
Climate change affects the spatial and temporal distribution of crop yields, which can critically impair food security across scales. A number of previous studies have assessed the impact of climate change on mean crop yield and future food availability, but much less is known about potential future changes in interannual yield variability. Here, we evaluate future changes in relative interannual global wheat yield variability (the coefficient of…
Quantifying livestock vulnerability to snow disasters in the Tibetan Plateau
Quantitative vulnerability relationships describing the susceptibility of socioeconomic losses in response to climate change are critical for natural disaster loss modeling and risk assessment. Modeling such vulnerability requires methods capable of handling complicated multi-factor, non-linear, and interactive relationships. Here, we compared the performance of generalized additive models (GAM) and random forest (RF) and boosted regression trees…

How did the urban land in floodplains distribute and expand in China from 1992–2015
Urban land in floodplains (ULF) is a vital component of flood exposure and its variations can cause changes in flood risk. In the context of rapid urbanization, ULF is expanding rapidly in China and imperiling societal sustainability. However, a national-scale analysis of ULF patterns and dynamics has yet to be conducted. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the spatiotemporal changes in China’s ULF at different spatial scales (the country, …
Natural Disasters in China
Farmers’ crop insurance perception and participation decisions
The measurement of risk perception and risk attitudes, and their link to actual risk behaviors have been extensively discussed. However, the potential impact of perception of risk management instruments on the decision to use those instruments has rarely been addressed. This article hypothesizes that the degree of perception of insurance contracts and participation decisions could have substantial mutual influence depending on the development of …
Public perception and responses to environmental pollution and health risks
Concerns have been raised among policy-makers, researchers and Chinese citizens regarding the widespread environmental degradation that has occurred in China in recent decades. Years of environmental education and media coverage on pollution harm and health risks have not only provided information about pollution to the public, but have also strengthened people’s concerns. However, an ‘intense focus’ on pollution is far from sufficient; at presen…

Measuring social vulnerability to natural hazards in the Yangtze River Delta region, China
Social vulnerability emphasizes the different burdens of disaster losses within and between places. Although China continuously experiences devastating natural disasters, there is a paucity of research specifically addressing the multidimensional nature of social vulnerability. This article presents an initial study on the social vulnerability of the Yangtze River Delta region in China. The goal is to replicate and test the applicability of the p…
Integrated Risk Governance
"Integrated Risk Governance: Science Plan and Case Studies of Large-scale Disasters" is the first book in the IHDP-Integrated Risk Governance Project Series. It consists of two parts: Part I: Integrated Risk Governance Project Science Plan, which outlines the challenge, research programme, outcomes, and implementation strategy of the IRG Project; and Part II: Case Studies of Large-scale Disasters, which includes case analyses of experience, lesso…
Landscape Urbanization and Economic Growth in China
Accelerating urbanization has been viewed as an important instrument for economic development and reducing regional income disparity in some developing countries, including China. Recent studies (Bloom et al. 2008) indicate that demographic urbanization level has no causal effect on economic growth. However, due to the varying and changing definition of urban population, the use of demographic indicators as a sole representing indicator for urban…
The 2011 eastern Japan great earthquake disaster
This article briefly reviews the causes and impacts of the massive eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011, and comments on the response measures taken by Japan to cope with this devastating disaster. Mass losses occurred mostly because the intensity of the quake and the induced tsunami exceeded local coping capacity. Particularly, the nuclear power plant crisis triggered by the tsunami significantly increased the short- and long-te…
Evaluation of an Ecological Security Model in Zhalute Banner, Inner Mongolia
The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive index system based on remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to evaluate the status quo of ecological security in the farming–pastoral zone of northern China, for the purpose of facilitating sustainable development in ecotone regions. Taking a typical transitional piedmont region with farming–pastoral production mode as a case study area, the region's present eco…
