  • The biomass dilemma

    Open AccessJoana Bastos, Jacopo Giuntoli et al.ARTICLESustainable Production and…2026

    While climate change mitigation strategies across the EU have often promoted the use of wood-based biomass for heat and power supply to reduce the use of fossil fuels, its actual benefits are unclear. The use of wood-based biomass can pose risks to air quality and health, especially when used in small-scale heating systems in cities. To leverage synergies and avoid trade-offs between climate change mitigation, air quality and other environmental …

  • Are cities ready to synergise climate neutrality and air quality efforts

    Open AccessGiulia Ulpiani, Enrico Pisoni et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    The linkage between climate mitigation and air quality is examined for 362 cities. • Sectoral contributions to PM2.5 levels and GHG emissions are strongly aligned. • Cities value air quality as a co-benefit of climate action and can act on it. • Two approaches are identified in ambient air quality action: proactive vs reactive. • Disciplinary and departmental silos need to be overcome. This study investigates the alignment of climate change mitig…

  • Covenant of mayors signatories leading the way towards 1.5 degree global warming pathway

    Open AccessAlbana Kona, Paolo Bertoldi et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2018

    An increasing number of cities and local governments adhere to transnational initiatives on climate change mitigation, but quantification of their contribution to the Paris Agreement commitments is lacking. To address this, the climate mitigation trajectory to 2050 of Covenant of Mayors (CoM) signatories has been studied. As of October 2017 there are more than 7600 signatories covering 238 million inhabitants, mainly from European cities. Of thes…

  • The role of biomass and bioenergy in a future bioeconomy

    Open AccessNicolae Scarlat, Jean-François Dallemand et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Development2015

    The European Commission has set a long-term goal to develop a competitive, resource efficient and low carbon economy by 2050. Bioeconomy is expected to play an important role in the low carbon economy. This paper provides a review of the policy framework for developing a bioeconomy in the European Union covering energy and climate, agriculture and forestry , industry and research. The Europe has a number of well-established traditional bio-based …
