Integrating the social and natural sciences to effectively tackle intertwined challenges represented by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been advocated for years. However, practice is challenging, especially with respect beliefs, morals, practices of individuals groups or, more succinctly put, culture, which, despite attracting growing awareness, remains understated in sustainability. Here, we examine how what extent cultural values are linked achievement SDGs. Synthesizing knowledge...
We review the state of knowledge concerning international CO 2 emission transfers associated particularly with trade in energy-intensive goods and concerns about carbon leakage arising from climate policies. The historical increase aggregate developing to developed countries peaked around 2006 declined since. Studies find no evidence that policies lead leakage, but this is partly due shielding key industrial sectors, which incompatible deep decarbonization. Alternative or complementary...
A consequential life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted to evaluate the trade-offs between water quality improvements and incremental climate, resource, economic costs of implementing green (bioretention basin, roof, permeable pavement) versus gray (municipal separate stormwater sewer systems, MS4) alternatives infrastructure expansions against a baseline combined system with overflows in typical Northeast US watershed for typical, dry, wet years. Results show that bioretention basins can...
Abstract Asia-Pacific (APAC) has been the world’s most dynamic emerging area of economic development and trade in recent decades. Here, we reveal significant imbalanced environmental socio-economic effects region’s growths during 1995–2015. Owing to intra-regional goods services, APAC economies grew increasingly interdependent each other’s water energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) PM 2.5 emissions, labor productivity, while disparity widened within region. Furthermore, our results highlight...
Increased water demand and scarce freshwater resources have forced communities to seek nontraditional sources. These challenges are exacerbated in coastal communities, where population growth rates densities the United States highest. To understand current management dilemma between constrained surface groundwater sources potential new sources, Tampa Bay, Florida (TB), San Diego, California (SD), were studied through 2030 accounting for changes population, demand, electricity grid mix....
As the fifth global water footprint assessment, this study enhanced previous estimates of national blue consumption (including fresh surface and groundwater) main economic activities with (1) improved spatial sectoral resolution (2) quantified impacts virtual trade on use stress at both basin level. In 2007, 1194 Gm(3) was consumed globally for human purposes. The consuming (producing) primary manufactured goods services from sectors "Primary Crops Livestock", Energy Minerals", "Processed...
The severe water scarcity in China poses significant economic risks to its agriculture, energy, and manufacturing sectors, which can have a cascading effect through the supply chains. Current research has assessed losses for global countries Chinese provinces by using risk (WSR) method. However, this method involves subjective functions parameter settings, it fails capture adaptive behaviors of economies scarcity, compromising reliability quantified loss. There is pressing need new assess...
Anji white tea is a unique variety of green that rich in polyphenols. In this study, the effect polyphenols (AJWTP) on prevention carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)-induced liver injury through its antioxidant properties was studied. Biochemical and molecular biology methods were used to analyze serum tissue mice. The capacity preventive AJWTP determined, mechanism elaborated. results showed decreased levels aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC)...
The global popularity of green roofs (GRs) rises as urban runoff becomes a primary environmental concern in both developed and developing countries. Although growing number studies have measured the retention (RR) performance GRs investigated underpinning factors, systematic quantitative understanding is lacking. This study applies statistical approach on dataset 2375 original experimental samples associated with RR observed across 21 countries, consolidated from 75 internationally...
Many cities are confronted with both water scarcity and urban flooding as centralized infrastructures becoming increasingly inadequate in a changing climate. Decentralized like rainwater harvesting (RWH) can ease issues. Yet, most studies find RWH offers limited infrastructure capacity at high cost. Previous assessments, however, fail to consider two critical advantages: multi-functionality adaptability. By improving the incorporation of these advantages our analysis 1.06 million buildings...
Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems implemented in office buildings under heterogeneous urban settings the United States, including combined and separated storm sewer systems, will result varying environmental economic costs benefits across multiple water sectors. The potable saving stormwater abatement potentials were found to strongly correlate with local annual precipitation totals patterns, specifically long-period antecedent dry weather period. Given current rates fees large U.S. cities,...
China is working hard to reconcile growing demands for freshwater with already oversubscribed renewable water resources. However, the knowledge essential setting and achieving intended consumption cuts remains limited. Here we show that on-farm management interventions such as improved irrigation soil practices maize cultivation can lead substantial reductions, by a simulated total of 28–46 % (7–14 billion m3/year) nationally, or without impacts climate change. The cut equivalent 16–31...
Lacking systematic supply-use information of agricultural biomass and food products within China makes the existing provincial environmental pressure assessments (e.g., water consumption) either not detailed enough by input-output table-based approach) or comprehensive process-based approach). This study develops a symmetric inter-provincial multi-regional (MRIO) model that hybridizes physical system with monetary supply chain China. First, we construct supply, use, tables in units 84...
Summary The limited access to natural resources is a major constraint for sustainability at various spatial scales. This challenge has sparked scholarly interest in the linkages or nexus between resources, with view helping anticipate unforeseen consequences, identify trade‐offs and co‐benefits, find optimal solutions. Yet, despite decades of research, limitations scope focus studies remain. Recently constructed multiregional input‐output (MRIO) databases, which cover global economy its use...
Human health and economic prosperity are vulnerable to freshwater shortage in many parts of the world. Despite a growing literature that examines vulnerability various spatiotemporal contexts, existing knowledge has been conventionally constrained by territorial perspective. On basis spatial analyses monthly water electricity flows across 2110 watersheds three interconnected power systems, this study investigates water-electricity nexus (WEN)'s transboundary effects on continental United...
Nations must curtail carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 7% per annum to meet the Paris Agreement temperature targets. A perceived economic growth-climate mitigation trade-off has diminished political will act. However, there is no scholarly consensus regarding magnitude of between growth and CO2 a lack ex post evidence extent which measures can effectively lower emissions. Here, we present structural equation model integrating energy system characteristics over period 1970–2016 empirically...
