  • Navigating the winds of change

    Open AccessJason Jabbour, D J Davidson et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026Referências: 13

    In an era of increased complexity, interdependence, uncertainty and rapidly advancing technology, the ability to identify and swiftly adapt to current and future trends is key to progressing sustainability. Intersecting drivers and stressors are converging to destabilize socioecological systems and reshape national, regional and global outlooks. The intersecting and converging crises of the 21st century have exposed the limits of planning that re…

  • Cooling efficacy of trees across cities is determined by background climate, urban morphology, and tree trait

    Open AccessHaiwei Li, Yongling Zhao et al.ARTICLECommunications Earth & Environment2024

    Urban planners and other stakeholders often view trees as the ultimate panacea for mitigating urban heat stress; however, their cooling efficacy varies globally and is influenced by three primary factors: tree traits, urban morphology, and climate conditions. This study analyzes 182 studies on the cooling effects of urban trees across 17 climates in 110 global cities or regions. Tree implementation reduces peak monthly temperatures to below 26 °C…

  • Balancing energy transition

    Open AccessSouran Chatterjee, Alessio Mastrucci et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2024Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    Achieving low energy demand in buildings is crucial in climate change mitigation. In the Global South, however, reducing the energy demand blanketly is not advisable due to critical gaps in access to the basic services supporting Decent Living Standards (DLS). Current energy demand scenarios mostly overlook achievement of DLS. Furthermore, model limitations in representing distributional aspects hinder modelling future energy demands to meet DLS.…

  • Ipcc, 2023

    Katherine Calvin, Dipak Dasgupta et al.REPORTIPCC, 2023: Climate Change 2023:…2023

    The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Synthesis Report (SYR) of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a component of the SYR which provides a policy-relevant but policy-neutral summary of the SYR. It is consistent with the Sections of the SYR and is approved line by line by the Governments at a plenary session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

  • Ipcc, 2023

    Katherine Calvin, Dipak Dasgupta et al.REPORT2023

    The Synthesis Report (SYR) is a stand-alone synthesis of the most policy-relevant evidence from the scientific, technical, and socio-economic literature assessed in the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The SYR distils and integrates the main findings of the three reports of the Working Groups of the IPCC during the AR6, and the three AR6 Special Reports into a concise document. It consists of …

  • Relating three-decade surge in space cooling demand to urban warming

    Open AccessHaiwei Li, Yongling Zhao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Rising demand for space cooling has been placing enormous strain on various technological, environmental, and societal dimensions, resulting in issues related to energy consumption, environmental sustainability, health and well-being, affordability, and equity. Holistic approaches that combine energy efficiency optimization, policy-making, and societal adaptation must be rapidly promoted as viable and timely solutions. We interpret the 30 year cl…

  • Existing tools, user needs and required model adjustments for energy demand modelling of a carbon-neutral Europe

    Open AccessSouran Chatterjee, Vassilis Stavrakas et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2022Referências: 3

    To achieve the European Union's target for climate neutrality by 2050 reduced energy demand will make the transition process faster and cheaper. The role of policies that support energy efficiency measures and demand-side management practices will be critical and to ensure that energy demand models are relevant to policymakers and other end-users, understanding how to further improve the models and whether they are tailored to user needs to suppo…

  • Urgent need for post-growth climate mitigation scenarios

  • Recalibrating climate prospects

    Open AccessAmory B Lovins, Diána Ürge-Vorsatz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    IPCC’s 2018 Special Report is a stark and bracing reminder of climate threats. Yet literature, reportage, and public discourse reflect imbalanced risk and opportunity. Climate science often understates changes’ speed and nonlinearity, but Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and similar studies often understate realistic mitigation options. Since ∼2010, global mitigation of fossil CO 2 —including by often-uncounted modern renewable heat comparable…

  • Six research priorities for cities and climate change

  • Global scenarios of urban density and its impacts on building energy use through 2050

    Open AccessBurak Güneralp, Yuyu Zhou et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2017

    Significance Urban density significantly impacts urban energy use and the quality of life of urban residents. Here, we provide a global-scale analysis of future urban densities and associated energy use in the built environment under different urbanization scenarios. The relative importance of urban density and energy-efficient technologies varies geographically. In developing regions, urban density tends to be the more critical factor in buildin…

  • Carbon Lock-In

    Open AccessKaren C Seto, Steven J Davis et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2016

    Existing technologies, institutions, and behavioral norms together act to constrain the rate and magnitude of carbon emissions reductions in the coming decades. The inertia of carbon emissions due to such mutually reinforcing physical, economic, and social constraints is referred to as carbon lock-in. Carbon lock-in is a special case of path dependency, which is common in the evolution of complex systems. However, carbon lock-in is particularly p…

  • Measuring the Co-Benefits of Climate Change Mitigation

    Open AccessDiána Ürge-Vorsatz, Sergio Tirado Herrero et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2014

    Co-benefits rarely enter quantitative decision-support frameworks, often because the methodologies for their integration are lacking or not known. This review fills in this gap by providing comprehensive methodological guidance on the quantification of co-impacts and their integration into climate-related decision making based on the literature. The article first clarifies the confusion in the literature about related terms and makes a proposal f…

  • Risk perception by industrial radiographers

    B R Orton, Lennart Sjoberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Risk Research2001Referências: 1

    Perceptions of risks from two groups of industrial radiographers, one from Hungary, (n = 45) and from the United Kingdom, (n = 29) were compared by the psychometric method. The comparison was made because both groups were at risk for high doses of ionizing radiation. We found the groups had similar demographic profiles but poor socio-economic conditions of Hungarians were associated with higher levels of emotional distress. Correlation HU-UK for …
