This study of 79 municipalities in Central Brazil reveals that extreme heat exposure is significantly associated with increased respiratory mortality, particularly in hot-dry areas characterized by high deforestation and socioeconomic vulnerability, highlighting the need for targeted climate-health adaptation strategies.
This study utilizes the FABIO database to translate the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet into country-level protein benchmarks, revealing a global need to shift from animal to plant-based proteins to reduce emissions and land use while identifying key "Super Producer" and "Super Consumer" nations as critical leverage points for policy and retail strategies.
This study quantifies the significant COe emission reductions achievable through hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) integration in São Paulo's transport sector and demonstrates that an Enhanced Feedforward Neural Network outperforms traditional regression models in projecting these low-carbon pathways to 2050.
This study presents robust simulations indicating that under current warming trajectories, the Greenland Ice Sheet will shrink below its Holocene minimum size by 2300 CE, contributing 26–86 cm to sea-level rise, whereas substantial emissions reductions could limit this contribution to approximately 10 cm.
This study develops a GIS-based multicriteria framework weighted by expert consultation to map Colombia's territorial readiness for green hydrogen deployment, revealing that optimal locations depend on a complex integration of economic, infrastructural, and institutional factors rather than renewable resource availability alone.
This paper presents a methodology for integrating iwi-led qualitative knowledge into the quantitative RiskScape modelling platform through a case study with Rangitāne o Wairau, demonstrating how codifying Indigenous consequence functions reveals the severe cultural and emotional impacts of tsunami scenarios that conventional economic models overlook.
A decade-long analysis of North Pacific debris reveals that fishing gear, particularly from East Asian fleets, constitutes the majority of marine plastic pollution, with evidence suggesting that routine waste management practices rather than accidental loss are the primary drivers of this persistent accumulation.
This study reveals widespread microplastic contamination in cattle and dog feces across the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, demonstrating that microplastic abundance is significantly influenced by management systems and species, with polyolefins being the dominant polymers and fecal profiles reflecting complex environmental exposure beyond just dietary intake.
This study provides the first integrated assessment of the Houxi River watershed, revealing a significant positive correlation between microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons driven by anthropogenic activities, which suggests synergistic accumulation mechanisms and emerging combined ecological risks in coastal small watersheds.
This study presents the first peer-reviewed operational life-cycle carbon footprint of Irish tourist accommodation across three comfort categories, revealing that food and beverage procurement constitutes the largest emission source (40–58%) and reframing hospitality carbon management as a material-flow problem while providing robust, CSRD-compliant benchmarks and methodology.
