How residential environment governance improves residents’ health and well-being—evidence from a quasi-natural experiment
Introduction Improvement in urban-rural residential environment is not only vital to national health and well-being, but also an important pillar for safeguarding global public health security and promoting the sustainable development of human health. Methods Taking China’s pilot program of the Ecological Restoration and Urban Renovation (ERUR) as a quasi-natural experiment, this study matches five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitu…
Structural obstacles and the mediated efficiency paradox: A DEA-Tobit exploration of the heterogeneous role of tourism intention in China's tourism enterprises
This study examines how environmental structures and tourism intention jointly influence the operating efficiency of tourism enterprises in China, using travel agencies as a case study. Employing self-determination theory (SDT) and Maslow's hierarchy of needs (MHN) as explanatory frameworks, we interpret structural obstacles as factors that erode the socioeconomic foundations of "tourism rights", thereby suppressing aggregate tourism demand. The …
Prompt Learning With Multiperspective Cues for Emotional Support Conversation Systems
The emotional support conversation (ESC) system is tailored to reduce the distress of individuals who are experiencing emotional challenges. To achieve this goal, the system must fully understand the emotional state of the user and employ appropriate strategies to provide effective emotional support. However, most existing methods predominantly focus on the user’s psychological state and the causes of user’s emotional problem, neglecting key cues…
Urban planning and IPCC-like city assessments integration for climate-resilient cities
The rapidly intensifying effects of climate change on urban settlements demand that cities move to the forefront of resilience planning. Climate extremes, from heatwaves to flooding, are increasingly testing the adaptability limits of urban systems and the vulnerability of their populations. Recognizing the unique position of cities, the IPCC’s seventh assessment cycle has prioritized urban areas in its upcoming Special Report on Climate Change a…
Exploring the impact of urban morphology on heat stress: A high-resolution microclimate simulation study
Extreme heat poses significant environmental and health risks. These risks often disproportionately affect marginalized and disenfranchised communities. Neighborhood-scale planning is essential for addressing climate change through adaptation strategies. Currently, there is a lack of long-term weather data at the neighborhood level, limiting the ability to analyze localized weather trends and compare variations across areas. This gap persists due…
Evaluating temporal trade-offs in climate effects from carbon dioxide removal strategies across different metrics: A case study on wetland restoration
Strategies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), are being pursued given the urgency of climate change. However, CDR measures may unintentionally increase emissions of other climate forcers. If emissions of potent short-lived climate forcers (like methane) are increased, the CDR mechanism could potentially worsen climate change in the near-term despite benefiting the climate in the long-term. This te…
Assessing alternative methane emission metrics conducive to quantifying global warming and setting near-term climate goals
Climate metrics, like Global Warming Potential (GWP), are frequently relied on to relate emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) to globally averaged temperature change. However, most metrics struggle to accurately represent temperature change across different time scales, especially in response to short-lived GHGs such as methane (CH 4 ). GWP* has been developed as a more accurate climate metric, but it has implementation challenges, such as its m…
Forecast-based disruptions in the energy sector: Economic impacts of anticipatory hurricane responses in US Gulf Coast refineries
Critical energy infrastructure along the US Gulf Coast faces hurricane induced risks. While many studies assess the realized impacts of hurricane strikes, less attention has been paid to the economic consequences of anticipatory responses. Using 25 years of weekly refinery crude oil input data and 36 h hurricane forecast information, we estimate the effect of projected storm strength and strike location on regional refinery oil input. We find tha…
Removing atmospheric CO 2 through mass scaleup of crops with enhanced root systems
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that societies may need to remove 5–16 GtCO 2 from the atmosphere annually to reach global net-zero CO 2 emissions within this century. Yet there has been little analysis of how quickly carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies could scale to meet this expected need. We develop a new integrated modeling approach for assessing scalability that combines insights from the history of analogous tec…

Future intensification of co-occurrences of heat, PM 2.5 and O 3 extremes in China and India despite stringent air pollution controls
Heat and air pollution extremes are two leading global health stressors, both of which are particularly serious in China and India. It is well recognized that exposure to co-occurrence of heat and air pollution extremes will cause amplified health outcomes, yet century‐long understanding of future co‐occurrence is still lacking. On the basis of sophisticated regional coupled climate-chemistry modeling, we predict future individual and joint occur…
Beyond the single-basket mindset: A multi-gas approach to better constrain overshoot in near term warming
The remaining carbon budget framework tracks progress towards the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit longer-term warming to well below 2 °C, but no analogous framework exists for constraining mid-century warming. Established single-basket methods of combining gases into CO 2 -equivalents using Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) lead to ambiguity over what combination of short- and long-lived emissions reductions are needed because they obscure the dis…
Observed trends in full-daytime and part-daytime thermal stress conditions in Asia
Changes in environmental thermal conditions affect thermal comfort, work performance and human health. While many studies have focused on heat and cold extremes, which are typically stressful throughout the daytime hours, fewer have examined part-daytime thermal stress conditions, where hours of thermal comfort and discomfort both occur during the daytime. Using a recently developed dataset of the Universal Thermal Climate Index with high spatial…

Evidence of interactive effects of late-pregnancy exposure to air pollution and extreme temperature on preterm birth in China: A nationwide study
Perinatal exposure to heat and air pollution has been shown to affect the risk of preterm birth (PTB). However, limited evidence exists regarding their joint effects, particularly in heavily polluted regions like China. This study utilized data from the ongoing China Birth Cohort Study, including 103 040 birth records up to December 2020, and hourly measurements of air pollution (PM 2.5 , NO 2 , and O 3 ) and temperature. We assessed the nonlinea…
Reduction in European anthropogenic aerosols and the weather conditions conducive to PM 2.5 pollution in North China: A potential global teleconnection pathway
Frequent and severe PM _2.5 pollution over China seriously harms natural environment and human health. Changes in meteorological conditions in recent decades have been recognized to contribute to the long-term increase in PM _2.5 pollution in North China (NC). However, the dominant climatic factors driving the interdecadal changes of the weather conditions conducive to PM _2.5 pollution remain unclear. Here we identify a potential global teleconn…
Acting rapidly to deploy readily available methane mitigation measures by sector can immediately slow global warming
Methane mitigation is essential for addressing climate change, but the value of rapidly implementing available mitigation measures is not well understood. In this paper, we analyze the climate benefits of fast action to reduce methane emissions as compared to slower and delayed mitigation timelines. We find that the scale up and deployment of greatly underutilized but available mitigation measures will have significant near-term temperature benef…
Long-term temperature and sea-level rise stabilization before and beyond 2100: Estimating the additional climate mitigation contribution from China’s recent 2060 carbon neutrality pledge
As the largest emitter in the world, China recently pledged to reach a carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060, which could accelerate the progress of mitigating negative climate change effects. In this study, we used the Minimum Complexity Earth Simulator and a semi-empirical statistical model to quantify the global mean temperature and sea-level rise (SLR) response under a suite of emission pathways that are constructed to cov…
