Coproducing “Planetary” Eating Futures from Dakar
Reform of the global food system needs to be initiated and coordinated on a global level to meet the challenges of sustainably producing sufficient food within planetary boundaries. The EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet sought to establish a set of “planetary” eating norms that would constitute “healthy and sustainable” diets “for all.” In this article we present the findings from a co-production workshop held in Dakar that examined dilemmas of de…
A critical air quality science perspective on citizen science in action
Air pollution is a hybrid phenomenon, understood and produced through social practices and material environmental processes. This hybridity leads us to engage critically with how air quality science is carried out. In dialogue with the critical physical geography subdiscipline, we propose a critical air quality science (CAQS) framework to study air pollution’s sociomateriality. We use CAQS to illuminate four tensions in the dynamics of knowledge …
Amazonian secondary forests are greatly reducing fragmentation and edge exposure in old-growth forests
Restoration of tropical landscapes through the expansion of secondary forests is crucial for climate change mitigation and offers co-benefits for biodiversity. However, the strength of these benefits is influenced by the position of these secondary forests within the landscape. Recovery of both carbon stocks and biodiversity in secondary forests are enhanced by proximity to old-growth forests, and old-growth forests may benefit from secondary for…
Breathing in the polyrhythmic city
Inspired by Lefebvre’s meditation on the rhythms seen from his apartment in Paris, we develop a novel rhythmanalytic account of urban air pollution, its breathing-in and impact in vulnerable bodies. We conceptualise urban air pollution as entwined in its making and consequence with the diverse rhythms of technologies, social practices and socio-temporal structures, environmental and atmospheric processes, bodily movements in space and time, and r…
Incroyable and Merveilleuse
In Les Chouans, Balzac casts two central characters – Corentin and Marie de Verneuil – as an Incroyable and a Merveilleuse, extravagantly-dressed figures from the revolutionary era. Analysing the historical and cultural significance of the Incroyable and the Merveilleuse underscores an ambiguity inherent in this novel, as these dandies (here, sent to disable royalist forces) were known for opposing the Revolution. Corentin and Marie de Verneuil, …
Old-growth forest loss and secondary forest recovery across Amazonian countries
There is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale forest restoration in the Amazon as a ‘nature-based solution’ to climate change. However, our knowledge of forest loss and recovery beyond Brazil is limited, and carbon emissions and accumulation have not been estimated for the whole biome. Combining a 33 year land cover dataset with estimates of above-ground biomass and carbon sequestration rates, we evaluate forest loss and recovery a…
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
Our understanding of the processes that control the burden and budget of tropospheric ozone has changed dramatically over the last 60 years. Models are the key tools used to understand these changes, and these underscore that there are many processes important in controlling the tropospheric ozone budget. In this critical review, we assess our evolving understanding of these processes, both physical and chemical. We review model simulations from …
Urbanisation’s contribution to climate warming in Great Britain
Urbanisation is changing the climate of the world we live in. In Great Britain (GB) 5.8% of the total land area is covered by artificial surfaces, increasing from 4.3% in 1975. Aside from associated loss of farmland, biodiversity and a range of ecosystem services, changing to urban form warms the Earth’s surface: the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Standard estimates of temperature changes do not account for urbanisation (i.e. use of rural-only s…
Estimating the multi-decadal carbon deficit of burned Amazonian forests
Wildfires in humid tropical forests have become more common in recent years, increasing the rates of tree mortality in forests that have not co-evolved with fire. Estimating carbon emissions from these wildfires is complex. Current approaches rely on estimates of committed emissions based on static emission factors through time and space, yet these emissions cannot be assigned to specific years, and thus are not comparable with other temporally-e…
Ozone depletion, ultraviolet radiation, climate change and prospects for a sustainable future
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
The goal of the Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) is to provide the research community with an up-to-date scientific assessment of tropospheric ozone, from the surface to the tropopause. While a suite of observations provides significant information on the spatial and temporal distribution of tropospheric ozone, observational gaps make it necessary to use global atmospheric chemistry models to synthesize our understanding of the process…
Diverse policy implications for future ozone and surface UV in a changing climate
Due to the success of the Montreal Protocol in limiting emissions of ozone-depleting substances, concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane will control the evolution of total column and stratospheric ozone by the latter half of the 21st century. As the world proceeds down the path of reducing climate forcing set forth by the 2015 Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change …
Is the ozone climate penalty robust in Europe
Peripheralizing Modernity
This essay explores how global modernism might be understood to reveal the agency of the periphery in the creation of modernity, thus countering Eurocentric understandings of global history and exposing to view the exploitation, violence and uneven development that characterizes the modern world
