Can Universities Learn to Leave Behind Air Travel
Flight quotas outperform focused mitigation strategies in reducing the carbon footprint of academic travel
The carbon footprint of academia has become a prominent concern and a burgeoning research area, with a notable focus on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from research-related travels. Mitigation strategies often promote alternatives, such as developing virtual communication or adopting sustainable transportation modes for short distances. While more ambitious strategies involving the transformation of research practices are increasingly discussed, …
The carbon footprint of scientific visibility
In the face of global warming, academics have started to consider and analyze the environmental and carbon footprint associated with their professional activity. Among the several sources of greenhouse gas emissions from research activities, air travel—one of the most visible and unequal fractions of this footprint—has received much attention. Of particular interest is the question of how air travel may be related to scientific success or visibil…
La frugalité, un terme un peu radioactif: Entretien avec Tamara Ben Ari et Olivier Berné, cofondateurs de Labos 1point5
C’est par une tribune dans Le Monde, publiée en mars 2019, que le collectif Labos 1point5 a annoncé vouloir « amorcer ou poursuivre le changement de nos pratiques professionnelles afin de réduire rapidement notre impact sur l’environnement, en cohérence avec les objectifs de l’accord de Paris ». Les pratiques, ici, sont celles des personnels de la recherche et l'impact correspond en particulier à l’« empreinte carbone » des laboratoires. Tamara B…
Extreme lows of wheat production in Brazil
Wheat production in Brazil is insufficient to meet domestic demand and falls drastically in response to adverse climate events. Multiple, agro-climate-specific regression models, quantifying regional production variability, were combined to estimate national production based on past climate, cropping area, trend-corrected yield, and national commodity prices. Projections with five CMIP6 climate change models suggest extremes of low wheat producti…
Rice yield stability compared to major food crops in West Africa
West Africa is one of the regions the most concerned with structural food and nutrition security. Consequently, agricultural development pathways and scenarios are under high scientific and political scrutiny in this region. Rice, as a rapidly growing staple plays a key role in the West African diet representing close to 40% of the total volume of cereal consumed in the region. In the context of the 2008 food price crisis several West African cou…
When adaptation increases energy demand: A systematic map of the literature
Adaptation is a central component of climate policy, helping manage and reduce risks. Sometimes, however, adaptation to climate change may consume energy, threatening efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Examples are numerous, and include the use of air conditioning or water desalination. Nevertheless, no clear view exists on how energy demand globally can be impacted by climate change. In this paper we systematically map existing evidence…
Evidence map of crop diversification strategies at the global scale
The diversification of cropping systems encompasses different strategies that may help maintain or enhance the sustainability of agriculture. Thousands of experiments have been carried out around the world since almost five decades to evaluate and compare the performances of various diversification strategies in a wide array of agroecosystems and climates. Although these analyses have been synthesized in a growing number of meta-analyses, the inf…
Analysis of the trade-off between high crop yield and low yield instability at the global scale
Decomposing global crop yield variability
Recent food crises have highlighted the need to better understand the between-year variability of agricultural production. Although increasing future production seems necessary, the globalization of commodity markets suggests that the food system would also benefit from enhanced supplies stability through a reduction in the year-to-year variability. Here, we develop an analytical expression decomposing global crop yield interannual variability in…
