Climate Change and Circular Economics: Human Society as a Closed Thermodynamic System, 2024, Pages 131-165
The content aligns with UN SDG 13 (Climate Action) by analyzing temperature and precipitation data to assess climate change risks, map hazard risks related to floods, droughts, snow, and freezing events, and calculate associated damage, while also indirectly supporting SDG 15 (Life on Land) by evaluating the impact on various regions and ecosystems.
The content of the chapter aligns with UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by discussing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote clean energy technologies, and address the impact of climate change through the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.
Until now, the absence of data on global building floorspace has impeded the measurement of building carbon intensity (carbon emissions per floorspace) and the identification of ways to achieve carbon neutrality for buildings. For this study, we develop a global building stock model (GLOBUS) to fill that data gap.
The study demonstrates that natural levee evolution in the central Kanto Plain is controlled by river migration and sea-level fluctuations, which are influenced by climate change, providing insights that can inform climate action.
