Deforestation contributes to global warming by emitting greenhouse gases. We can reduce climate change hazards by refusing to deforest and restoring forests.
Future urban expansion is projected to be at an alarming rate (e.g., the global total urban area in 2100 will be roughly 1.8–5.9 times of that in 2000) under different climate change and development pathways17,18. To achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, partic...
More warming to 1.5°C and beyond will worsen such impacts. For example, heatwaves would become both more frequent and more severe.全球升温超过1.5摄氏度将会加剧气候变化的影响。比如，高温将会更频繁地来袭，程度也会更严重。A warmer atmosphere can also hold more moisture, resulting in more extre...

take up to 1,000 years to break down, so it builds up in the environment, damaging soil, poisoning groundwater, and choking marine wildlife. Microplastics enter the human body with the potential to cause serious health impacts – and have even been found in the placent...
The window for avoiding that peril is narrow, and closing rapidly, but it is not yet closed. With the right leadership, the world can bring global greenhouse gas emissions under control, set them on a downward trajectory, and avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global warming. ...

The main source of energy that drives the dynamics of Earth’s outer spheres, including its climate, is unquestionably the Sun.
A methodology to estimate impacts of domestic policies on deforestation: Compensated Successful Efforts for “avoided deforestation” (REDD) Climate change mitigation would benefit from Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) in developing countries. The REDD mechanism, still... PL Comb...
2.1 were herein used to analyze a global scenario of climate change under a socioeconomic pathway of regional rivalry. Results showed that this shared socioeconomic pathway is likely to affect vector-borne diseases. Climate changes on both vector species distributions will surely have major impacts ...
