Understanding variation in sustainable development goal relationships across spatial scales matters for making consistent priorities
Energy transition towards photovoltaic and wind mitigates trade-offs between energy water use and irrigation in the Yellow River Basin
Reconciling societal water needs and ecosystem services is integral to sustainable development in big river basins. Renewable energy such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power provides opportunities to mitigate sectoral water use, but quantifying their effects on the water-energy-land nexus remains challenging. Using an engineering-economic optimization model, this study quantifies how, and to what extent, energy transition towards PV and wind miti…
Synergizing sustainable development goals for disaster risk reduction
Beyond economic gains
Ecologically fragile regions face heightened challenges in balancing ecosystem restoration with human well-beings. While ecological restoration projects like China’s Grain for Green Program (GFGP) significantly alter land use and livelihoods, the pathways through which ecosystem services (ESs) affect multidimensional human well-beings, especially across diverse smallholder livelihood types, remain poorly quantified. This study developed an integr…
Nonlinear and weak interactions among sustainable development goals (SDGs) drive China's SDGs growth rate below expectations
Beyond borders
The many complex interconnections among countries driven by natural and socio‐economic processes have a crucial impact on regional and global sustainability, yet a robust and systematic way to quantify this impact is lacking. Here we introduce two complementary approaches to bridge this key methodological gap. The first entails constructing a new sustainability index capable of systematically considering pertinent indicators of interdependencies …
Spatio-temporal changes in the causal interactions among Sustainable Development Goals in China
Extensive efforts have been dedicated to deciphering the interactions associated with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, these developments are hampered by a lack of efficient strategies to avoid beneficial synergies being offset by harmful trade-offs. To fill these gaps, we used causal diagnosis and network analysis methods to construct 1302 directed networks of SDGs for 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2020. We observed a dramatic…

Finding pathways to synergistic development of Sustainable Development Goals in China
While the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) index is a widely employed method of measuring progress in the United Nations (UN) SDGs, as it allows comparisons across countries and regions, it does not usually offer any indication as to how to move the SDGs forward. To address this deficit, we analyzed the impact of the offsetting effects of changes in individual SDG scores on the SDG index from 2015 to 2018 at the provincial level in China. Futur…
Quantifying responses of net primary productivity to agricultural expansion in drylands
There is a limited understanding of agricultural land dynamics across global drylands and the impacts of transitions between agricultural land and land cover on net primary productivity (NPP) changes. This study attempted to fill this gap by examining agricultural land changes and NPP responses in drylands. A data‐driven assessment of effects on the NPP of individual agricultural land displacement was carried out using three methods: the mean dif…
Achieving a fit between social and ecological systems in drylands for sustainability
Socioeconomic impacts of a protected area in China
Challenge of political globalization
Globalization represents an intriguing new way to increase global prosperity. However, it represents a dramatic contrast to events in previous centuries, both in the West and in China, when most unions resulted from warfare and conquest rather than from peaceful negotiations. This can be seen in the increase in military conflict and decrease in political stability in many parts of the world in recent years. Therefore, achieving a union of nations…
How deep is China’s environmental Kuznets curve? An analysis based on ecological restoration under the Grain for Green program
Net value of grassland ecosystem services in mainland China
Transforming flash floods into resources in arid China
Critical thresholds in ecological restoration to achieve optimal ecosystem services
Risk analysis of water scarcity in artificial woodlands of semi-arid and arid China
Opportunity cost of water allocation to afforestation rather than conservation of natural vegetation in China
Institutional change to compensate for low birth rates
Despite fears of global overpopulation, population declines are becoming a significant demographic problem in developed and rapidly developing countries. If we have no effective measures to solve the problem, the world's population will continue to age, and some small ethnic groups will face a risk of extinction. The human race's social and genetic diversity therefore face significant challenges. The failure to raise birth rates in developed regi…
