Abstract Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is one of the important interventions to mitigate the negative consequences of climate change and is arguably the most practical and sustainable one. It offers three benefits: red...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies are vital for enhancing the climate resilience of high-value, climate-sensitive crops like vanilla in Sub-Saharan Africa. While institutional support through agricultural ext...

Background: Climate change has a negative impact on smallholder farming, affecting both agricultural production and livelihoods. Agricultural extension services offer an essential role in enabling smallholder farmers to...

Researchers and policymakers are putting forth substantial efforts to promote the adoption of clean energy and mitigate environmental degradation in the face of climate change. In this study, we examine the synergistic e...

Abstract Background Climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural production worldwide, with developing countries being particularly vulnerable to its negative impacts. Agriculture, which is a crucial factor ...

This comprehensive review examines the synergistic integration of climate mitigation strategies and circular economy (CE) principles as a pathway toward achieving global carbon neutrality. While traditional mitigation me...

Abstract Background: Food security and nutrition are threatened globally due to climate change. The West African Sahel is particularly vulnerable to climate change given food systems that are highly dependent on rainfall...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Background: The world is experiencing overlapping crises of climate breakdown, ecosystem degradation, rising inequality, and conflict. Traditional evaluation criteria inadequately address equity and environmental sustai...

"This contribution analyzes the policymaking process of the carbon tax in Argentina based on the multiple streams approach (MSA). The study shows how policy entrepreneurs took advantage of a general tax reform bill to ...

ABSTRACT Tree legumes are an underexploited resource in warm-climate silvopastures. Perceived benefits of tree legumes include provisioning (browse/mast, timber, fuel, human food, natural medicines, and ornamentals), reg...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...

Abstract Extreme heat poses increasing public health risks due to climate change, yet adoption of protective behaviours remains suboptimal. This study applied the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behaviour (COM-B...

Protecting soils from degradation is a significant area of research in international environmental law. Almost all states face soil degradation problems and are striving to solve them at a national level. The quality of ...

This review provides a comprehensive examination of carbon capture (CC) technologies, utilization and their integration with e-fuel production as pivotal factors in determining the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potenti...

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, often referred to as the “Third Pole” and the “Asian Water Tower”, plays a pivotal role in global climate regulation due to its exceptional carbon sequestration capacity. Recent evide...

The rise of urban air mobility (UAM) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft necessitates the development of well-designed vertiports that align with consumer expectations. This study examines consumer...

Amid growing water crises, climate change, and intensified human activities, there is an urgent need to assess water conditions from an ecological perspective. This study evaluated Water Security with an Ecological Lens ...

Abstract The Internet plays a pivotal role in tackling global climate challenges, particularly in facilitating a transition toward low-carbon behavior. However, the mechanisms by which the Internet shapes low-carbon beha...

Abstract Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a globally important high-value crop produced for fresh consumption, wine, and processed derivatives. Growing pressure from labor shortages, climate variability, and sustainability de...

Linking Bees, Biodiversity, and Breadwinners highlights the complex and essential relationship between Bees and the survival of rural livelihoods. Although the role of bees in advancing sustainable development objectives...

Amid escalating global climate concerns, the reliance of the transportation sector on high-carbon fossil fuels urgently demands sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a potent solution because of its zero-emis...

Abstract During the first six assessment cycles of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools were not widely available. This has rapidly changed. The IPCC will ne...

Against the global backdrop of accelerating climate change and the urgent need for energy transition, understanding the role of protected areas in shaping renewable energy consumption has become increasingly important. U...
