Promising climate progress from net-zero ambitions to the Paris Agreement goal
Climate targets require strong commitments from countries to be achieved. Using a multi-model analysis, we show that current net-zero pledges bring the world closer to a well-below 2 °C pathway, but an emission gap remains. Increasing ambition will be crucial: expanding the global coverage of net-zero pledges and speeding up action increases consistency with the Paris Agreement (1.5–2.0 °C range in model mean). However, reaching the 1.5 °C goal w…
Leviathan-like concerns and reflections on medical digital twin technology
Medical digital twin technology leverages big data to create virtual twin models of the entire human body or partial organs. Physicians can utilize these digital twins of patients to simulate disease progression, thereby determining optimal treatment and prevention strategies. We conducted a case study on the current clinical application of medical digital twin technology in China using carotid endarterectomy at Ruijin Hospital as an example. Whi…
Substantial air quality and health co-benefits from combined federal and subnational climate actions in the United States
Publisher of over 50 scientific journals across the life, physical, earth, and health sciences, both independently and in partnership with scientific societies including Cell, Neuron, Immunity, Current Biology, AJHG, and the Trends Journals
Long-term decarbonization impacts on residential energy security across income groups and US states
The impact of a transition to a net-zero economy on the residential energy sector across diverse income groups in the US remains uncertain. Here, we employ an integrated human-Earth system model, incorporating an expanded set of ten income groups in the residential energy sector, to examine the distributional impacts of long-term decarbonization scenarios on residential energy security at the state level through 2050. We use multiple metrics of e…
Provincial-scale assessment of direct air capture to meet China’s climate neutrality goal under limited bioenergy supply
China has large, estimated potential for direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) but its deployment locations and impacts at the subnational scale remain unclear. This is largely because higher spatial resolution studies on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in China have focused mainly on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. This study uses a spatially detailed integrated energy-economy-climate model to evaluate DACCS for 31 provinces in C…
Taking stock of nationally determined contributions
Regional implications of carbon dioxide removal in meeting net zero targets for the United States
Net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets are central to current international efforts to stabilize global climate, and many of these plans rely on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to meet mid-century goals. CDR can be performed via nature-based approaches, such as afforestation, or engineered approaches, such as direct air capture. Both will have large impacts in the regions where they are sited. We used the Global Change Analysis Model for the Unite…
The path to 1.5 °C requires ratcheting of climate pledges
Ratcheting of climate pledges needed to limit peak global warming
Role of non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions in limiting global warming
Integrating air quality and health considerations into power sector decarbonization strategies
Climate change and public health are two interconnected societal challenges. Curbing fossil-based electricity generation reduces the emissions of both CO 2 and air pollutants, which brings tangible health benefits from improved air quality. The potential health benefits from decarbonizing the grid are enormous, immediate, and widespread. From renewable portfolio standards to carbon market, the health co-benefits from clean electricity policies of…
Effectiveness of Exogenous Fe2+ on Nutrient Removal in Gravel-Based Constructed Wetlands
A group of microcosm-scale unplanted constructed wetlands (CWs) were established to evaluate the effectiveness of exogenous Fe 2+ addition on ammonium nitrogen (NH 4 + -N), nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 - -N), and total phosphorus (TP) removal. The addition of Fe 2+ concentrations were 5 mg/L (CW-Fe5), 10 mg/L (CW-Fe10), 20 mg/L (CW-Fe20), 30 mg/L (CW-Fe30), and 0 mg/L (CW-CK). The microbial community in CWs was also analyzed to reveal the enhancement m…
What Influences Customer Flows in Shopping Malls
Offline stores are seriously challenged by online shops. To attract more customers to compete with online shops, the patterns of customer flows and their influence factors are important knowledge. To address this issue, we collected indoor positioning data of 534,641 and 59,160 customers in two shopping malls (i.e., Dayuecheng (DYC) in Beijing and Longhu (LH) in Chongqing, China) for one week, respectively. The temporal patterns of the customer f…
Inferring gender and age of customers in shopping malls via indoor positioning data
Customer profiles that include gender and age information are important to businesses and can be used to promote sales and provide personalized services. This information is gathered in e-commerce by analyzing customer visit records in virtual web space. However, such practice is difficult in brick-and-mortar businesses because the data that can be utilized to infer customer profiles are limited in physical spaces. In this paper, we attempt to in…
State-level drivers of future fine particulate matter mortality in the United States
Future fine particulate matter (PM 2 . 5 ) concentrations and resulting health impacts will be largely determined by factors such as energy use, fuel choices, emission controls, state and national policies, and demographcs. In this study, a human-earth system model is used to estimate PM 2.5 mortality costs (PMMC) due to air pollutant emissions from each US state over the period 2015 to 2050, considering current major air quality and energy regul…
Change in the Distribution of Phosphorus Fractions in Aggregates under Different Land Uses
Phosphorus in agro-ecosystems has attracted much attention due to its impact on the nutrient supply of plants and the risk of loss of non-point source pollution. This study investigated the fraction distribution and release of phosphorus from soil aggregates structure under different land uses (rice, maize and soybean). The soil aggregates were characterized as large macro-aggregates (L-mac, >1 mm), small macro-aggregates (S-mac, 0.25−1 mm), micr…
