Recent trends in tropical forest loss continue to challenge global sustainability and conservation efforts
Tropical forests are central to global sustainability, underpinning biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and disaster risk reduction. Yet, it remains unclear whether recent efforts have reduced tropical forest loss (TFL) and improved protection of ecologically and socially important areas. This study provides a global, spatially explicit assessment of TFL before (2011–2015) and after (2016–2022) the mid-2010s, a period coinciding…
Quality of Life and Climate Change: Impacts, Sustainable Adaptation, and Social-Ecological Resilience
Has the IPCC’s revised vulnerability concept been well adopted
In the Third and Fourth Assessment Reports (TAR and AR4, respectively) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), vulnerability is conceived as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. However, in its Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) and Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), the IPCC redefined and separated exposure, and it reconceptualized v…
Spatiotemporal pattern of global forest change over the past 60 years and the forest transition theory
Forest ecosystems play an indispensable role in addressing various pressing sustainability and social-ecological challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. However, global forest loss has been, and still is today, an important issue. Here, based on spatially explicit data, we show that over the past 60 years (1960–2019), the global forest area has declined by 81.7 million ha (i.e. 10% more than the size of the entire Borneo island),…
High-resolution urban change modeling and flood exposure estimation at a national scale using open geospatial data: A case study of the Philippines
Remotely sensed tree canopy cover-based indicators for monitoring global sustainability and environmental initiatives
With the intensifying challenges of global environmental change, sustainability, and biodiversity conservation, the monitoring of the world’s remaining forests has become more important than ever. Today, Earth observation technologies, particularly remote sensing, are at the forefront of forest cover monitoring worldwide. Given the current conceptual understanding of what a forest is, canopy cover threshold values are used to map forest cover fro…

Heat health risk assessment in Philippine cities using remotely sensed data and social-ecological indicators
More than half of the world’s population currently live in urban areas and are particularly at risk from the combined effects of the urban heat island phenomenon and heat increases due to climate change. Here, by using remotely sensed surface temperature data and social-ecological indicators, focusing on the hot dry season, and applying the risk framework of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we assessed the current heat health risk i…
