Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

In the context of global climate change and rapid urbanization, floods caused by extreme rainstorms in Chinese cities have been on the rise. Consequently, urban flood risks evolve into a systematic threat to urban safety...

Abstract Background Climate change is increasingly influencing the prevalence and severity of various diseases. While previous studies have linked climate variables to emergency department (ED) admissions, few have exami...

BackgroundClimate gerontology examines the intersections between climate change and population ageing, yet empirical evidence on how older adults perceive climate-related environmental change remains limited, particularl...

Climate change and biodiversity loss have heightened global awareness on environmental design, unfolding paradigms of ecological design. Concepts such as nature-based solutions, urban nature, biophilic design and sponge ...

The significance of this work is multifaceted, reflecting a wide range of potential impacts that free public transportation could have on society, the environment, and urban fabric. Delving into this topic, the researc...

Hunger remains one of the most persistent barriers to human development, with progress uneven across regions and increasingly exposed to economic instability, climate pressure and structural vulnerabilities. This study i...

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of the Anthropocene. The goal of Paris-compatible development (climate warming to 1.5°C or well below 2°C) therefore also addresses spatial planning. However, althou...

Climate change is associated with manifold consequences worldwide and thus also at the German North Sea coast. Climate adaptation is therefore important as a consideration in land-use plans for sustainable spatial devel...

Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

Abstract This study considers an alternative framework for sustainable and equitable human prosperity in the city of Glasgow. The city’s ambition to transform to a Green Wellbeing Economy is explored through cross-sect...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

ABSTRACT The fire frequency in the Amazon increased rapidly after the 1990s due to deforestation and forest degradation, and it is expected to increase in response to climate change. We analyzed the fire occurrence and a...

Against a backdrop of growing environmental awareness and the need to mitigate climate change impacts, urban spatial planning and management policies inspired by European sustainable development recommendations are gaini...

The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted in 2022 triggering a deadly tsunami and causing widespread disaster. Coastal communities in small Pacific Island countries were seriously affected including the Ohonua comm...

Culverts play a critical role in stormwater conveyance, roadway safety, and flood mitigation, particularly within low-lying urban communities vulnerable to extreme rainfall events. In Louisiana, increased rainfall intens...

Soil moisture is an important part of the land water cycle. It affects ecosystem health, agricultural output, and climate regulation. Several factors influence its variability, especially land use and land cover (LULC). ...

Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical processes, an estimated 30% of irri...

Delhi, one of the fastest-urbanising megacities in the Global South, has undergone severe fragmentation of blue-green spaces (BGS) over three decades, driving deterioration of urban ecosystem health through impervious-su...

ABSTRACT Background & Aims Dengue is a significant vector‐borne disease that has severely impacted public health in Bangladesh, underscoring the growing importance of digital health in enhancing surveillance and preven...

Radiative cooling is a passive cooling strategy that leverages thermal radiation to dissipate heat into a cooler environment, offering an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cooling ...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

The significance of honey in the socio-economic livelihoods of rural and semi-urban populations is paramount, as it tackles issues such as unemployment, income, and ecosystem preservation. The decrease in the timber indu...

ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequ...
