Summary China faces the challenge of balancing unprecedented economic growth and environmental sustainability. Rather than a homogenous country that can be analyzed at national level, is vast with significant regional differences in physical geography, economy, demographics, industry structure, household consumption patterns. There are pronounced between much‐developed Eastern‐Coastal zone less developed Central Western zones China. Such variations lead to large discrepancies carbon dioxide...
Abstract. This paper develops a systematic hazard interaction classification based on the geophysical environment that natural hazards arise from – hazard-forming environment. According to their contribution hazards, environmental factors in were categorized into two types. The first are relatively stable which construct precondition for occurrence of whilst second trigger factors, determine frequency and magnitude hazards. Different combinations induce different Based these some major used...
It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of permeable pavements on flood mitigation at different spatial scales for their effective application, example, sponge city construction in China. This study evaluated three types (i.e., asphalts (PA), concretes (PC), and interlocking concrete pavers (PICP)) a community scale China using hydrological model. In addition, effects clogging initial water content performance were assessed. The results indicated that 12 scenarios, reduced total...
The Water Footprint, as an indicator of water consumption has become increasingly popular for analyzing environmental issues associated with the use resources in global supply chain consumer goods. This is particularly relevant countries like UK, which rely on products produced elsewhere world and thus impose pressures foreign resources. Existing studies calculating footprints are mostly based process analysis, results mainly available at national level. current paper assesses domestic...
Multi-hazard risk assessment is a major concern in analysis, but most approaches do not consider all hazard interactions when calculating possible losses. We address this problem by developing an improved quantitative model—Model for multi-hazard Risk with consideration of Hazard Interaction (MmhRisk-HI). This model calculates the loss caused multiple hazards, explicit interaction between those hazards. There are two main components to model. In first, based on hazard-forming environment,...

Climate change knowledge can inform regional and local adaptation decisions. However, estimates of future climate are uncertain methods for assessing uncertainties typically rely on the results model simulations, which constrained by quality assumptions used in experiments limitations available models. To strengthen scientific services decisions, we explore use structured expert elicitation to assess change. Using Lower Yangtze region China as a case study, elicit judgements from six experts...
Abstract A new paradigm for risk analysis is proposed. It a holistic conceptualization which recognizes an intrinsic duality between scientific and social perspectives. defines states in terms of minimal but necessary set properties qualities issues at various scales resolution (macro, meso, micro), aggregations them. founded philosophy knowledge‐based processes as fundamental both to life (and turn physical aspects risk) cognition (social risk). through these that explanations are be found....

Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of climate forecasts and projections. While there expanding body international research on identifying what information users need to know about uncertainty, how this should be communicated, very little has been conducted in a Chinese cultural context. In paper, we report the findings interviews with experts (n = 28) (potential) China 18) at seasonal multidecadal timescales, objective addressing following questions: (1) What uncertainty projections...
