Spatial dynamics of biodiversity and cycling behaviour
Active travel infrastructure is widely acknowledged for promoting healthy behaviours in cities, yet participation is sparse. Being exposed to biodiversity during active travel may facilitate physical activity but has yet to be explored within the context of urban active travel networks. Existing research lacks spatial granularity, meaning the effect of local benefits of biodiversity on active travel networks is unknown. By analysing over 6 millio…
Decent work in fishing in a changing climate
Climate change will increasingly impact the working conditions of employed fishers, who work in the most hazardous occupation in a sector already at high risk for forced labor and other decent work deficits. However, in comparison to other sectors, there has been little attention afforded to how climate change will impact working conditions onboard industrial vessels. Although the absence of a well-organized workforce makes it challenging to iden…
Beyond the Walls
The new Domestic Workers Dataset is the largest single set of surveys (n = 11,759) of domestic workers to date. Our analysis of this dataset reveals features about the lives and work of this “hard-to-find” population in India—a country estimated to have the largest number of people living in forms of contemporary slavery (11 million). The data allow us to identify child labour, indicators of forced labour, and patterns of exploitation—including l…
The future of decent work
The impacts of climate change‐induced heat stress on workers are most prevalent in sectors with decent work deficits and this requires consideration for sustainable development. This paper focuses on the informal economy of brick kilns in India, a sector reliant on piece‐rate payments to its migrant labour force. We forecast to 2050, through satellite mapping and climate modelling, the number of days with extreme heat, loss of labour capacity, an…
Informing action for United Nations SDG target 8.7 and interdependent SDGs
This article provides an example of the ways in which remote sensing, Earth observation, and machine learning can be deployed to provide the most up to date quantitative portrait of the South Asian ‘Brick Belt’, with a view to understanding the extent of the prevalence of modern slavery and exploitative labour. This analysis represents the first of its kind in estimating the spatiotemporal patterns in the Bull’s Trench Kilns across the Brick Belt…
Growing evidence of the interconnections between modern slavery, environmental degradation, and climate change
Modern slavery, environmental degradation and climate change
In this commentary paper, the current state of research on the tightly connected and bi-directional relationships among modern slavery, environmental degradation and climate change is critically assessed and reviewed. An emerging branch of research has begun to conceptualize linkages between slavery and environmental change. Responding to a gap in the extant literature, this paper synthesizes and makes sense of this emerging research base and pro…
Automated classification metrics for energy modelling of residential buildings in the UK with open algorithms
Estimating residential building energy use across large spatial extents is vital for identifying and testing effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve urban sustainability. This task is underpinned by the availability of accurate models of building stock from which appropriate parameters may be extracted. For example, the form of a building, such as whether it is detached, semi-detached, terraced etc. and its shape may be used a…
Applications in Remote Sensing to Forest Ecology and Management
Remote sensing provides valuable insights into pressing environmental challenges and is a critical tool for driving solutions. In this Primer, we briefly introduce the important role of remote sensing in forest ecology and management, which includes applications as diverse as mapping the distribution of forest ecosystems and characterizing the three-dimensional structure of forests. We describe six key reasons why remote sensing has become an imp…
On the Reliable Generation of 3D City Models from Open Data
A 3D model communicates more effectively than a 2D model, hence the applications of 3D city models are rapidly gaining significance in urban studies. However, presently, there is a dearth of free of cost, high-resolution 3D city models available for use. This paper offers potential solutions to this problem by providing a globally replicable methodology to generate low-cost 3D city models from open source 2D building data in conjunction with open…
Exploring temporality in socio-ecological resilience through experiences of the 2015–16 El Niño across the Tropics
In a context of both long-term climatic changes and short-term climatic shocks, temporal dynamics profoundly influence ecosystems and societies. In low income contexts in the Tropics, where both exposure and vulnerability to climatic fluctuations is high, the frequency, duration, and trends in these fluctuations are important determinants of socio-ecological resilience. In this paper, the dynamics of six diverse socio-ecological systems (SES) acr…
