The climate crisis requires rapid and substantial emission reductions from all economic sectors, aviation included. Given the limited impact that existing policies in aviation will provide in the next decade, national policies might be required to rapidly ...
Affected by both future anthropogenic emissions and climate change, future prediction of PM2.5 and its Oxidative Potential (OP) distribution is a significant challenge, especially in developing countries like China. To overcome this challenge, we estimated ...
In transitioning toward a sustainable economy, mycelial materials are recognized for their adaptability, biocompatibility, and eco-friendliness. This paper updates the exploration of mycelial materials, defining their scope and emphasizing the need for pre ...
SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition) aims to answer: how to improve wellbeing for all with a much lower energy use? Wellbeing is a state of thriving, which involves full participation in society, a ...
The development of new catalytic methods for organic synthesis is a critical endeavour in order to obviate the economic and ecological drawbacks of stoichiometric organic synthesis. While catalysis can offer significant advantages in terms of atom-economy, ...
Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less infra ...
This study addresses the critical need for sustainable architectural designs within the context of climate change and the significant role the built environment plays in greenhouse gas emissions. The focus of this paper is on understanding the influence of ...
Extractive resources are indisputably a necessary component of international sustainable development. Despite current advancements in the circular economy, world production needs for raw materials are ever increasing, and still a long way remains for it to ...
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) have seen a rapid development over the past decade. However, wide diffusion of high level CAVs is still decades to come, and will depend on many technological, policy and public acceptance factors. Merging a traditio ...
Connectivity between the hyporheic zone and the flow is essential for the development of benthos and the reproductive success of spawning fish. The infiltration of fine sediment leads to clogging of the riverbed, reducing porosity and vertical water exchan ...
