SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Empowering local voices in shaping land use decisions
Many international as well as grassroots initiatives call for a wider and deeper engagement of local communities not only in managing their present but even in shaping the future of the environment they live in and sometimes highly rely on.
Barriers and opportunities for resilient and sustainable urban forests
Urban forests mitigate rising temperatures in cities but face climate change related challenges. Four key barriers stand in the way of achieving resilient urban forests: species selection, tree supply, tree life cycle (establishment and maintenance, including irrigation), and community engagement.
Advancing Efficient Decarbonization: Trade-offs and synergies among carbon mitigation policies
Our study in Nature Climate Change has considered the mitigation policy interactions using the CEEGE model. With multiple policy combination options, we find that in most cases these interactions will delay the achievement of carbon neutrality in China.
Predicting Daily CO₂ Emissions with Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models
The recent devastating wildfires in California serve as a reminder of the urgent need for actionable climate solutions. These events, fueled by rising global temperatures and unchecked CO₂ emissions, highlight the importance of understanding and predicting carbon output on a more granular level.
From pore to process: an industrially promising application for MOFs in separating the most potent greenhouse gas
SF6/N2 separation is crucial for sustainable development. Here, we prepared low-cost and robust MOF composite pellets and established a vacuum temperature swing adsorption process with both high recovery and high purity of SF6.
