Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
This text ties into SDG 13 (Climate Action) by focusing on innovative methods for CO2 capture using ionic liquids, which can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. It also relates to SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through the use of advanced computational approaches and generative models to accelerate the discovery and optimization of new materials.
This paper presents a novel multi-hazard risk assessment methodology for European coastal cities, which integrates indicators of hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity.
This article provides a valuable tool for developing hypoxia scenarios, aiding in identifying restoration hotspots for climate-threatened lagoons.
In November, 197 countries plus the European Union will convene in Baku, Azerbaijan for the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chang
This paper analyses monthly data on significant changes in mean AQI and PM10 levels from 2017 to 2023 in one of teh most populous states of India, and highlights that intensified provisions may be necessary for cities predicted to fall short of meeting program targets.
This research conducted semi-structured interviews to investigate how secondary school students in England make sense of different creative uses of metaphor and metonymy in a sample of slogans shared on social media for the Global Climate Strikes and #FridaysForFuture. The findings suggest that different creative uses prompted different kinds of thinking about climate change and its relevance to students’ personal lives.

Climate change has adverse consequences on reproduction.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.
This study demonstrates the large rooftop photovoltaic energy potential of China’s capital cities, showing that rooftop installations could also mitigate heat.
This perspective provides recommendations and strategies for the urban ecosystem rehabilitation of future cities, placing biodiversity and ecosystem services at the core of designing healthy and sustainable urban spaces.
