This paper constructs an indicator system to measure urban sustainability in Northeast Asia from a decarbonization perspective. It proposes a framework aligning sustainability indicators with decarbonization goals, tailored to the regional …

Tagaeva T.O.

This paper reviews technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from pig farms, including feed additives, manure management, and energy efficiency. These technologies offer practical solutions for mitigating agricultural emissions.

Zhao X.

This paper explores tannin-based dietary strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants by modulating nitrogen and carbon metabolism. Tannins can reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions by inhibiting microbial activity an…

Sue-Chue-Lam C.

This paper argues that net-zero targets alone are insufficient for sustainable health systems and proposes a 'Reduce and Support' framework to ratchet ambition. It emphasizes the need for both emission reductions and systemic support in the…

Nunes A.R.

This protocol outlines a longitudinal study to evaluate decarbonization initiatives in general practice, targeting energy use, waste, and prescribing. It assesses the impact of interventions on reducing carbon emissions and supporting net-z…

McMillan E.

This paper explores how games can support action towards net zero targets. It argues that games facilitate understanding of complex systems and foster cooperative behavior, offering a novel participatory approach for climate action. The aut…

Wang Y.

This review synthesizes the influence of biochar on soil air permeability and greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O, CH4) in vegetated soil. It examines how biochar alters soil physical properties and may affect GHG fluxes.

Ullah A.

This paper empirically examines the impact of globalization on greenhouse gas emissions in Pakistan, using an environmental Kuznets curve framework. It explores how trade and investment liberalization may degrade environmental quality, offe…

Bai Y.

This experimental study demonstrates that amending paddy soil with manganese slag significantly reduces emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases, offering a potential mitigation strategy for rice cultivation.

Wang T.

This study investigates the combined effect of biochar application and deficit irrigation on greenhouse gas emissions in maize-wheat rotation systems. The results show significant emission reductions, offering insights for climate mitigatio…

Bai J.

This paper explores strategies to simultaneously reduce plastic leakage and greenhouse gas emissions in China, highlighting potential synergies between plastic management and climate action.
