However, subnational and city-level understanding of green recovery, its efficacy and its alignment with public health is poorly understood. Here we focus on post-COVID-19 low-carbon recovery—economic growth combined with reduced carbon emissions—and explore health co-benefits in Chinese cities. ...

The announcement of China's 2060 carbon neutrality goal has drawn the world's attention to the specific technology pathway needed to achieve this pledge. We aimed to evaluate the health co-benefits of carbon neutrality under different technology pathways, which could help China to achieve the carbo...

Stomata are small holes that are mostly on the bottom of a leaf. They let gases move in and out, so carbon dioxide can get into the leaf for photosynthesis and oxygen and water vapor can get out. Each leaf’s base tapers into a stalk-like part called the petiole, which connects the...

One mature tree will absorb roughly 50 lbs or 22 kg of carbon dioxide each year, but how long that tree lives before it burns or begins to decay and emit sequestered carbon right back into the atmosphere is a complete unknown. It also takes 20-30 years for a tree to mature, so this...
There is a growing interest within the research and policy communities in quantifying the mitigation costs and health co-benefits of climate policy. These depend on many factors such as the global temperature target and associated emissions reduction, the temporal allocation of the carbon budget (when...
In addition, cool roofs have co-benefits of improving air quality and lowering carbon emissions [41, 42]. Liquid applied membranes (LAM), which are sprayed or painted onto the roof surface, are the most suitable cool roof technology for existing homes in Nouna, Burkina Faso because they ...
Despite law regulations issued in the last few decades, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased, affecting climate change as well as the way of life. Carbon dioxide (CO2) represents one of the main GHG. As such, its reduction is part of the United Nations agenda 2030 which, in gener...
