Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic and its global response have resulted in unprecedented rapid changes to most people’s day‐to‐day lives. To slow the spread of virus, governments implemented practice physical distancing (“social distancing”), which includes isolation within home with limited time spent outdoors. During this extraordinary time, nature around may play a key role mitigating against adverse mental health outcomes due measures taken address it. assess whether is case, we conducted...
Abstract Climate mitigation is reported to benefit biodiversity globally. However, the impacts of measures based on large-scale land-use modifications can be concentrated in regions where they are introduced, resulting regional mismatches between efforts and benefits. Here, we evaluated deployment bioenergy with carbon capture storage afforestation attain climate stabilization target stated by Paris Agreement global using an integrated model framework. Our results highlight that regardless...
We applied a geographic approach to the analysis of current food-related behaviors in peri-urban Bangkok, Thailand, better understand potential for building local food system sustainable agriculture during period rapid urbanization. addressed three main working questions: (1) Do traditional wet markets keep functioning as an important hub vegetable and fruit systems under influence modern supermarkets? (2) How "local" are multiple actors? (3) do distributions actors their environments change...
Sustainable management and informed policy making at the sub-national level requires an understanding of regional resource base regeneration demand it places on wider geographical areas. Ecological Footprint is one most widely used accepted ecological accounting methodologies available for calculating multiple consumption categories such as food, housing transportation. Japan's 47 prefectures are diverse in their urbanization ageing situations provide opportunity relationship between...
Red meat consumption is associated with an elevated risk of mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). In contrast, forage fish, as highly nutritious, environmentally friendly, affordable, and the most abundant fish species in ocean, are receiving increasing interest a global food system perspective. However, little research has examined impact replacing red diet on diet-related NCDs. Methods We based our study datasets projections 2050 for 137 countries catches. replaced each country...
Can shrinking cities harness population decline to improve their sustainability by repurposing land use, for example, localizing food production? Whether such a transition is feasible depends on the pre-shrinkage state of urban agricultural including ongoing trends in local use change. This study examined from 2007–2017 Kyoto City, Japan. brink large projected (~190,000 or ~13% until 2040) and serves as representative number regional Japanese similar situation. Analysis was based public 2007...
Background: The need to address the dual challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss is pressing requires collective efforts in both land-use energy sectors. However, interactive impacts between mitigation conservation measures, especially indirect through energy-land nexus, have not been comprehensively investigated. question arises as whether what levels synergies or trade-offs exist targets, are implications on system decarbonization pathways corresponding costs.Methodology: By...

Abstract There is concern about the increasing loss of people's direct interactions with fauna and flora. This extinction experience has many potential far‐reaching implications for both biodiversity humans, including decrease public support conservation issues a reduction in health benefits that humans when interacting nature. However, knowledge how experiences are distributed among different sectors society key drivers this distribution remains poor. Here, we report on results nation‐wide...
Dietary changes can affect both human health and the environment. Reducing meat consumption, especially ruminant meat, has been proven to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, agricultural land use, improve health. Whereas shift a plant-based diet from is by far most commonly investigated dietary change pattern, nutrient-rich forage fish with low carbon footprint receiving increasing interest global food system perspective. In this study, we attempted fill current research gap...
The recycling of urban green waste generated from forests is important in enhancing circularity; however, most remains underutilized. An effective way to recycle composting. Recent studies show the effectiveness decentralized composting home and community gardens; little yet known about linkage commercial agriculture, which could play a critical role food supply. This study aims investigate community-scale system integrated into farming, using Tokyo as case where agricultural land uses are...
Summer high temperatures affecting urban areas pose a significant problem to human health. The Japanese megacity, Tokyo Metropolitan Area (TMA) in Kanto region, where shrinkage is expected occur the coming decades, also vulnerable such temperature issues. We investigated impacts arising from changes land use on future maximum surface air (Tsmax) at regional scale region. For our numerical experiments, we introduced parameters (i.e., albedo, evapotranspiration coefficient, and heat capacity)...
As society becomes increasingly urbanized, children are becoming much less likely to experience nature. This progressive disengagement from the natural world, often termed ‘extinction of experience’, has been viewed both as a key public health issue and one most fundamental obstacles halting global environmental degradation. School education an important role in mitigating reversing ongoing extinction experience. Here, we examine several factors that determine implementation intensities...
On the temperate lowland plain of lower Tumen River, agricultural development has converted most marshland into paddy fields. However, locations old fields in zone, where vegetation structure is dominated by herbs adapted to seasonally wet or waterlogged conditions, are poorly known, and impact land use history on diversity shifts plant functional groups been scantly researched. In this study, we used a chronosequence approach investigate herbaceous wetland communities different recovery...
