Determinants of climate change risk perception in Latin America

Abstract Climate change risk perceptions are subjective constructs that individuals use to interpret the potential harms of climate change and influence their engagement in mitigation and adaptation efforts. While research in high-income We...

Cost Optimisation of Supply Chains in the Food Industry: Cost Function Modelling

The food industry faces complex challenges in managing supply chains, significantly affecting operational performance and costs. This paper explores the critical factors influencing the efficiency of food supply chains, such as product pe...

Tracking Hydrological Regime Shifts Through the Anthropocene: The Samara River, Southern Cis-Urals

The Samara River is a left-bank tributary of the Volga with a total basin area of 46,500 km2, of which 22,800 km2 is the gauged area analyzed in this study. This river system serves as a case study for examining hydrological transformations...

RESEARCH-DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION IN ROMANIA BETWEEN REALITY AND IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS

Research and innovation contribute to economic growth and, thus, to better living and working conditions in the European Union. For this reason, research and innovation are an important part of policies by which the European Commission seek...

Development of Power-to-X Catalytic Processes for CO₂ Valorisation: From the Molecular Level to the Reactor Architecture

Nowadays, global climate change is likely the most compelling problem mankind is facing. In this scenario, decarbonisation of the chemical industry is one of the global challenges that the scientific community needs to address in the immedi...

Framework for Enhancing Urban Living Through Sustainable Plant Selection in Residential Green Spaces

Residential greening is a critical strategy for mitigating the negative impacts of urbanization on the environment, biodiversity, and human well-being. Proper plant species selection is essential for the success of residential greening proj...

Vulnerability assessment of urban remnant mountain ecosystems based on ecological sensitivity and ecosystem services

Urban remnant mountains (URMs) are precious natural green habitat patches that can provide a series of ecosystem services for multi-mountainous cities. The increase in ecological sensitivity and degradation of ecosystem services affected by...

Photosynthesis and Rubisco kinetics in spring wheat and meadow fescue under conditions of simulated climate change with elevated CO2 and increased temperatures

Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.cv.Polkka)and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Hudson cv. Kalevi)cwere grown in ambient and elevated (700 µl l -1 )carbon dioxide concentration both at present ambient temperatures and at temperatures 3°C h...

Non sustainable development. CO2, Plants and Climate.

The crucial role of plant photosynthesis has been emphasized in relation to the atmospheric CO2 concentration and climate change. Because of the irreplaceable role of plants in ecosystem services, potential changes of both crop and wild pla...

Berlin Pankow: a 15-min city for everyone? A case study combining accessibility, traffic noise, air pollution, and socio-structural data

Abstract Cars are dominating urban traffic in cities around the world, even though daily trips in many cities are often realized with active modes of transportation or public transport. Urban transport planning processes need to adapt to th...

Fishing, predation, and temperature drive herring decline in a large marine ecosystem

Abstract Since 1960, landings of Atlantic herring have been the greatest of any marine species in Canada, surpassing Atlantic cod and accounting for 24% of the total seafood harvested in Atlantic Canada. The Scotian Shelf‐Bay of Fundy herri...

Membership-linked issue specialization within the G77 in UN climate negotiations

Abstract The Group of 77 and China (G77) coordinates developing-country positions in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), while many members also participate through overlapping negotiating ...

Impact of early life exposure to heat and cold on linguistic development in two-year-old children: findings from the ELFE cohort study

Abstract Background A number of negative developmental outcomes in response to extreme temperature have been documented. Yet, to our knowledge, environmental research has left the question of the effect of temperature on human neurodevelopm...

Boosting precision crop protection towards agriculture 5.0 via machine learning and emerging technologies: A contextual review

Crop protection is a key activity for the sustainability and feasibility of agriculture in a current context of climate change, which is causing the destabilization of agricultural practices and an increase in the incidence of current or in...

An Adaptive Architecture for Long Term Energy Programme Management

Climate change, population growth, changing energy consumption patterns and the advent of feasible renewable energy sources has prompted governments worldwide to set targets for carbon emission reductions. The transition to a ‘near zero emi...

Climate change impacts on renewable energy supply

On the economics of renewable energy sources

The Economics of Renewable Energy

Greater use of renewable energy is seen as a key component of any move to combat climate change, and is being aggressively promoted as such by the new U.S. administration and by other governments.Yet there is little economic analysis of ren...

Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources – bioenergy, solar, ge...
