A data-driven approach to analyse the co-evolution of urban systems through a resilience lens: A Helsinki case study
(Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, 2024)
Urban areas are dynamic systems, in which different infrastructural, social and economic subsystems
continuously co-evolve. As such, disruptions in one system can propagate to another.
However, open challenges remain in ...
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ...
Declining water resources in the Anduña River Basin of Western Pyrenees: Land abandonment or climate variability?
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2024-06-01)
Study Region: Mountains play a crucial role in supplying water for consumption, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees exemplify a mountainous region ...
Quantifying the role of saltmarsh as a vulnerable carbon sink: A case study from Northern Portugal
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-05-01)
Saltmarshes play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, although they are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR). This study assessed the potential variation in Blue Carbon ...
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)
Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ...
Climate action from a gender perspective: A systematic review of the impact of climate policies on inequality
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2024-06-01)
In 1992 the United Nations committed to promoting a gender perspective in all environmental and development programs and to establishing mechanisms for assessing the impact of environmental policies on women. However, 30 ...
Securing Nature's Contributions to People requires at least 20%–25% (semi-)natural habitat in human-modified landscapes
(One Earth, 2024-01-19)
The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems ...
Climate change as a veiled driver of migration in Bangladesh and Ghana
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-04-20)
People living in deltaic areas in developing countries are especially prone to suffer the effects from natural disasters due to their geographical and economic structure. Climate change is contributing to an increase in ...
Influence of methodological choices in farm sustainability assessments: A word of caution from a case study analysis of European dairy farms
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2024-06-01)
In a context where sustainability assessments are increasingly popular, this perspective article discusses the influence of methodological choices on measurements of farm sustainability. We build the argumentation on the ...
Integrating science and the arts to deglobalise climate change adaptation
(Nature Communications, 2024-12-12)
Setting goals that are context-specific, relevant, and collectively shared is critical in adaptation. As necessary elements in target setting, imaginaries for adaptation and the language connected to them remain vague. ...
