The impacts of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have provided a valuable global experiment into the extent improvements in air quality possible with reductions vehicle movements. Mexico City, London and Delhi all share problem failing WHO guideline limits, each unique situations influencing factors. We determine, discuss compare changes across these cities during COVID-19, to understand how findings may support future their associated health citizens. analysed ground-level PM10, PM2.5, NO2, O3...
There is a growing concern about the unforeseen negative consequences of climate change. In response, important scholarly efforts have produced valuable frameworks to help decisionmakers construct adaptation plans. Drawing on success and failures current plans, these been developed prevent maladaptations, meaning We argue that while focusing planning risk management are crucial, inherent uncertainty change requires more nuanced approach. propose novel "adaptation grid" aligns existing with...
One of Earth's foremost ecological challenges is the degradation land habitats. This often caused by deforestation and desertification resulting from unsustainable management natural resources. Land restoration seeks to reverse this trend repair ecosystems better health. Indigenous peoples local communities have a key role in realizing long-term, sustainable restoration. Local indigenous intimate knowledge an interest preserving ecosystem services. Areas managed especially overlap with...
The consequences of climate change on different sectors society are interrelated. threats posed by rising global temperatures, intensifying extreme weather events, and shifting climatic patterns becoming increasingly evident all around the world. Policymakers face daunting task assessing risks, encompassing impacts response strategies, to guide sustainability transformations. In this study, we introduce a four-step qualitative Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty (DMDU) approach in context...
Background Previous studies found exposure to air pollution leads exacerbations of asthma in paediatric and adult patients increases asthma-related emergency hospital admissions (AREHA). Methods AREHAs levels pollutants (PM 10 , PM 2.5 NO 2 ) were obtained from Mexico City for the period 2017–2019. A time-series approach was used explore relationship between AREHA. Relative risks AREHA estimated using a negative binomial regression young children (less than 5 years) adults (greater 18...
It is becoming clear that fires in boreal forests are not uniformly stand-replacing. On the contrary, marked variation fire severity, measured as tree mortality, has been found both within and among individual fires. important to understand conditions under which this can arise. We integrated forest sample plot data, allometries historical records a diameter class-structured model of 1.0 ha patches mono-specific black spruce jack pine stands northern Québec, Canada. The accounts for crown...
Air pollution is one of the most challenging global sustainability problems in world. Roughly 90% citizens live areas that exceed acceptable air levels according to World Health Organization quality guidelines. However, socially disadvantaged groups are disproportionately located exposed higher pollution. Understanding association between risk exposure pollutants and underlying socio-economic factors determining central for sustainable urban planning. The purpose this study was explore...
Capacity building is defined as a process by which stakeholders increase their knowledge, skills and resources in order to improve ability adapt fast-changing world. Universities play key role the promotion of sustainability implementation 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through capacity building. However, universities developing countries face significant challenges programmes for given lack procedures that facilitate systematic integration multiple stakeholderś...
Achieving more sustainable adaptation to social–environmental change demands the transformation of narratives that provide rationale for risk governance. These often reflect long-standing beliefs about social and political relationships, ascribe actions responsibilities, specify solutions risk. When such are implemented through material investments in landscapes, these become embedded physical infrastructure with long legacies. Dominant can mask a range divergent problem framings. By masking...
We present here MEGADAPT (MEGAcity-ADAPTation), a hybrid, dynamic, spatially-explicit, integrated modeling approach to simulate the vulnerability of urban coupled socio-environmental systems – in our case, Mexico City socio-hydrological risk. Although is widely understood be influenced by human decision-making, these decisions are rarely captured as endogenous dynamic models. The objective this paper use demonstrate methodological that allows simulated reflexive process: result interplay...
Urbanization impacts the surface temperature fields increasing vulnerability of urban residents to heat exposure. Identifying vulnerable populations extreme exposure is crucial develop mitigation and adaptation strategies towards sustainability. We used an growth model (SLEUTH) simulate emerging areas in Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) under a hypothetical land-use policy scenario projected 2060 which no restrictions were posed growth. SLEUTH outputs numerical Weather Research...
