SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
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.
How Climate-related Financial Policies Drive Emissions Reductions and Renewable Energy Growth
Climate-related financial policies (CRFPs) address climate change and financial stability by reducing risks and driving green investments. This study examines how their sequencing and enforcement shape CO2 emissions and renewable energy across 87 countries, offering policy insights.
Roles of Cu(I) in H2O activation for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C2+ compoundsCO2
Copper is the promising catalyst for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction to ethylene and ethanol, but the working state of Cu is under dispute. The operando spectroscopy confirms the presence of Cu+ in a nanocomposite during CO2RR. The catalyst with Cu+ promotes H2O activation, enhancing C2 formation.
Aerosols from boreal fires are making the Arctic warmer!
Climate warming is widely recognized as a key driver of boreal wildfires. Our satellite-constrained modelling reveals a positive feedback loop: boreal fires, driven largely by climate warming, intensify Arctic warming through aerosol emissions.
Bitcoin’s Global Climate Challenge: New Study Reveals Alarming Carbon Footprint of Cryptocurrency Transactions
Tackling Bitcoin’s global climate challenge requires a global effort
Burned Area Increasingly Explained by Climate Change
Climate change is increasingly recognized as a key driver of wildfire activity. But the seemingly simple question, "How much has climate change altered burned area?" has not been answered before. Here, we provide a first quantification of this.
