This study compares aboveground carbon (AGC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks across three physiographic regions of Nepal (Himalayas, mid-hills, Terai) using machine learning. Mid-hill protected areas stored the most AGC, while Himalaya…

T. Rednikova

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of sustainable development in the Arctic, covering climate change, permafrost thaw, renewable energy, and indigenous livelihoods. It argues for a holistic strategy balancing industrial developmen…

This paper examines sector-specific Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC) in Croatia from 1995 to 2021 using ARDL models. A stable long-term relationship with short-term adjustments was found in the energy-intensive sector. Inverted U-shaped E…

Measured methane, CO2, CO, and NOx emissions from gas cookstoves in 35 homes in Santiago, Chile and 23 in Bogotá, Colombia. Found that real-world methane emissions (including continuous leaks and ignition emissions) are over six times highe…

Jörg Mayer

This policy paper proposes a functional division of climate interventions: forests for biophysical cooling (evapotranspiration, BVOCs, clouds) and cropland for CO₂ sequestration via mycorrhizal fungi and no-till. EU cropland has a potential…

Mattias Vanwingh

This paper proposes a three-pillar complementary strategy for climate stabilization: structural decarbonization, carbon dioxide removal (direct air capture, BECCS, enhanced weathering, large-scale ecosystem restoration), and active polar co…
