Non-technical summary When developing and deploying negative emissions technologies (NETs), little attention has been paid to where. On the one hand, one might develop NETs where they are likely to contribute most to global mitigation targets, contributing to a global climate solution. On the other hand, one might develop NETs where they can help support development on a regional basis, justified by regional demands. I defend these arguments and suggest that they reflect the values of efficiency and responding to need, respectively. To the extent that these values conflict, they introduce what I call the Need-Efficiency Trade-off Effect (‘NET Effect’). Technical summary Unlike other geoengineering methods, the effectiveness of negative emissions technologies (NETs) tends to be sensitive to regional siting. This paper argues that this point raises morally and legally important implications by identifying a trade-off between ‘efficiency’ and ‘need’. First, it introduces two arguments justifying NETs: one focused on contributions to global mitigation and the other focused on contributions to regional development. Second, reflecting the two arguments, the paper discusses the moral values of efficiency and need, respectively. For instance, if the strategy is to try to use NETs to maximize expected mitigation contributions to reflect efficiency, then deployment should occur in regions with the best prospects for success (e.g. Western countries). However, if the strategy is to try to use NETs to improve the chances of simultaneous development and mitigation to respond to need, then deployment should occur in regions with limited development and expected growth of demand for NETs (e.g. Asian countries). When these values conflict, I call that a Need-Efficiency Trade-off Effect (‘NET Effect’). The paper concludes by considering the NET Effect in the context of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage as well as direct air carbon capture and storage. Social media summary Should negative emissions technologies be deployed in Western countries for most climate action or Asian where needed for development?
非技术性总结在开发和部署负排放技术时,很少注意在哪里。一方面,人们可以在可能对全球缓解目标贡献最大的地方开发NETs,为全球气候解决方案做出贡献。另一方面,可以根据区域需求,在有助于支持区域发展的地方开发NET。我为这些论点辩护,并认为它们分别反映了效率和回应需求的价值观。在这些价值观冲突的程度上,它们引入了我所说的需求效率权衡效应(“净效应”)。技术总结与其他地球工程方法不同,负排放技术的有效性往往对区域选址敏感。本文认为,这一点通过确定“效率”和“需求”之间的权衡,提出了道德和法律上重要的含义。首先,它介绍了两个论点来证明NET的合理性:一个侧重于对全球缓解的贡献,另一个则侧重于对区域发展的贡献。第二,反映了这两个论点,本文分别探讨了效率和需要的道德价值观。例如,如果战略是试图使用NETs来最大限度地提高预期的缓解贡献,以反映效率,那么部署应该在最有成功前景的地区(例如西方国家)进行。然而,如果战略是试图使用网络技术来提高同时开发和缓解的机会,以满足需求,那么部署应该在网络技术开发有限且需求预计增长的地区(例如亚洲国家)进行。当这些值发生冲突时,我称之为需求效率权衡效应(“净效应”)。本文最后考虑了生物能源中的净效应,包括碳捕获和储存以及直接空气碳捕获和存储。社交媒体摘要负排放技术应该在西方国家用于大多数气候行动,还是在亚洲用于发展?

Non-technical summary Cities in the distant past – as documented by archaeologists and historians – provide an extensive record of urban successes and failures, yet this information has had little impact on the field of sustainability science. I explore two reasons for this situation. First, these scholars have often failed to synthesize their data scientifically, and, second, they have not approached the transfer of past knowledge to present research in a rigorous manner. I organize discussion of these issues around three arguments for the present value of past cities: the urban trajectory argument, the sample size argument, and the laboratory argument. Technical summary I explore the different ways historical and archaeological data can be deployed to contribute to research on urban sustainability science, emphasizing issues of argumentation and epistemology. I organize the discussion around three types of argument. The urban trajectory argument exploits the long time series of early cities and urban regions to examine change at a long time scale. The sample size argument views the role of early cities as adding to the known sample of settlements to increase understanding of urban similarities and differences. The laboratory argument uses data from past cities to explicitly test models derived from contemporary cities. Each argument is examined for three contrasting epistemological approaches: heuristic analogs, case studies, and quantitative studies. These approaches form a continuum leading from lesser to greater scientific rigor and from qualitative to quantitative frameworks. Much past-to-present argumentation requires inductive logic, also called reasoning by analogy. Sustainability scientists have confused this general form of argument with its weakest version, known as heuristic analogs. I stress ways to improve methods of argumentation, particularly by moving research along the continuum from weaker to stronger arguments. Social media summary Better methods of argument allow the past record of urban success and failure to contribute to urban sustainability science.
考古学家和历史学家所记载的遥远的过去的城市提供了大量的城市成功和失败的记录,然而这些信息对可持续发展科学领域几乎没有影响。我探讨了造成这种情况的两个原因。首先,这些学者经常不能科学地综合他们的数据,其次,他们没有以严格的方式将过去的知识转移到现在的研究中。我围绕过去城市现值的三个论点来组织这些问题的讨论:城市轨迹论点、样本大小论点和实验室论点。我探索了历史和考古数据可以用于城市可持续发展科学研究的不同方式,强调论证和认识论问题。我围绕三种类型的论证来组织讨论。城市轨迹论利用早期城市和城市地区的长时间序列来考察长时间尺度上的变化。样本大小的观点认为,早期城市的作用是增加已知的定居点样本,以增加对城市异同的理解。实验室论证使用过去城市的数据来明确检验从当代城市推导出的模型。每个论点都被检查了三种不同的认识论方法:启发式类比,案例研究和定量研究。这些方法形成了从较低到较高的科学严谨性和从定性到定量框架的连续统一体。许多从过去到现在的论证需要归纳逻辑,也称为类比推理。可持续发展的科学家们把这种一般形式的论证与最弱的形式——启发式类比——混淆了。我强调改进论证方法的方法,特别是通过将研究从较弱的论证推进到较强的论证。更好的论证方法可以让过去的城市成功和失败的记录为城市可持续发展科学做出贡献。

Calling time on the imperial lawn and the imperative for greenhouse gas mitigation 在帝国草坪上呼唤时间和减少温室气体排放的必要性

Non-technical summary As green spaces, lawns are often thought to capture carbon from the atmosphere. However, once mowing, fertlising and irrigation are taken into account, we show that they become carbon sources, at least in the long run. Converting unused urban and rural lawn and grassland to treescapes can make a substantial contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon absorption from the atmosphere. However, it is imperative for governing bodies to put in place appropriate policies and incentives in order to achieve this. Technical summary Mown grass or lawn is a ubiquitous form of vegetation in human-dominated landscapes and it is often claimed to perform an ecosystem service by sequestering soil carbon. If lawn maintenance is included, however, we show that lawns become net carbon emitters. We estimate that globally, if one-third of mown grass in cities was returned to treescapes, 310–1630 million tonnes of carbon could be absorbed from the atmosphere, and up to 43 tonnes of carbon equivalent per hectare of emissions could be avoided over a two-decade time span. We therefore propose that local and central governments introduce policies to incentivise and/or regulate the conversion of underutilised grass into treescapes. Social media summary If unused lawns were planted with trees, a gigaton of carbon could be removed from the atmosphere over two decades.
非技术性摘要草坪作为绿地,通常被认为可以从大气中捕获碳。然而,一旦考虑到割草、施肥和灌溉,我们就会发现它们会成为碳源,至少从长远来看是这样。将未使用的城市和农村草坪和草地改造成树木景观,可以为减少温室气体排放和增加大气中的碳吸收做出重大贡献。然而,为了实现这一目标,理事机构必须制定适当的政策和激励措施。技术摘要割草或草坪是人类主导的景观中普遍存在的植被形式,通常被认为通过封存土壤碳来提供生态系统服务。然而,如果将草坪维护包括在内,我们就会发现草坪会成为净碳排放者。我们估计,在全球范围内,如果城市中三分之一的割草恢复到树景中,那么可以从大气中吸收3.1-16.3亿吨碳,在20年的时间跨度内,每公顷排放量可以避免高达43吨的碳当量。因此,我们建议地方和中央政府出台政策,鼓励和/或规范将未充分利用的草地转化为树木景观。社交媒体摘要如果在未使用的草坪上种树,20年内可以从大气中去除10亿吨碳。

Why the impacts of climate change may make us less likely to reduce emissions 为什么气候变化的影响可能使我们不太可能减少排放

Non-technical summary A widely held belief is that once the impacts of warming are experienced more directly and substantially, especially by affluent populations, the necessary support for a politics prioritising ambitious emissions reductions will follow. But consideration of the indirect socioeconomic impacts of warming suggests this could be false hope. Technical summary There is some evidence to support the common intuition that, as the direct impacts of warming intensify – particularly in the affluent Global North – a politics ambitious enough to confront the climate emergency may finally find support. However, it seems at least equally likely that the opposite trend will prevail. This proposition can be understood by considering various indirect impacts of warming, including the widening of socioeconomic inequalities (within and between countries), increases in migration (intra- and inter-nationally) and heightened risk of conflict (from violence and war through to hate speech and crime). Compiling these impacts reveals a considerable and highly inconvenient overlap with key drivers of the authoritarian populism that has proliferated in the 21st century. It highlights the risk of a socio-ecological feedback loop where the consequences of warming create a political environment entirely at odds with that required to reduce emissions. Such a future is, of course, far from inevitable. Nonetheless, the risks highlight the urgent need to find public support for combined solutions to climate change and inequality, which go well beyond the status-quo. This is necessary not only for reasons of economic and climate justice, but in order to mitigate political barriers to carbon mitigation itself. Social media summary As the impacts of warming are experienced more directly and substantially, we may vote for precisely the wrong people.
人们普遍认为,一旦更直接、更实质性地体验到气候变暖的影响,尤其是富裕人群,对优先考虑雄心勃勃的减排的政治的必要支持就会随之而来。但考虑到气候变暖对社会经济的间接影响,这可能是错误的希望。随着气候变暖的直接影响加剧——尤其是在富裕的全球北方——一种足以应对气候紧急情况的雄心勃勃的政治可能最终会得到支持,这一普遍直觉得到了一些证据的支持。然而,至少同样有可能的是,相反的趋势将占上风。考虑到气候变暖的各种间接影响,包括(国家内部和国家之间)社会经济不平等的扩大,(国内和国际)移民的增加以及冲突风险的增加(从暴力和战争到仇恨言论和犯罪),可以理解这一命题。汇总这些影响,可以发现,这些影响与21世纪激增的威权民粹主义的主要驱动因素存在相当大且极不方便的重叠。它强调了社会生态反馈循环的风险,在这种循环中,变暖的后果创造了一个与减排所需的政治环境完全不一致的政治环境。当然,这样的未来远非不可避免。尽管如此,这些风险突出表明,迫切需要为气候变化和不平等的综合解决方案寻求公众支持,这远远超出了现状。这不仅是出于经济和气候正义的原因,也是为了减轻碳减排本身的政治障碍。随着气候变暖的影响越来越直接和实质性,我们可能会把票投给错误的人。

Non-technical summary Rivers are crucial to the water cycle, linking the landscape to the sea. Human activities, including effluent discharge, water use and fisheries, have transformed the resilience of many rivers around the globe. Sustainable development goal (SDG) 14 prioritizes addressing many of the same issues in marine ecosystems. This review illustrates how rivers contribute directly and indirectly to SDG 14 outcomes, and also provides ways to potentially address them through a river to sea view on policy, management and research. Technical summary The United Nations initiated the SDGs to produce ‘a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future’. Established in 2015, progress of SDGs directed at the aquatic environment is slow despite an encroaching 2030 deadline. The modification of flow regimes combined with other anthropogenic pressures underpin ecological impacts across aquatic ecosystems. Current SDG 14 targets (life below water) do not incorporate the interrelationships of rivers and marine systems systematically, nor do they provide recommendations on how to improve existing management and policy in a comprehensive manner. Therefore, this review aims to illustrate the linkages between rivers and marine ecosystems concerning the SDG 14 targets and to illustrate land to sea-based strategies to reach sustainability goals. We provide an applied case study to show how opportunities can be explored. We review three major areas where mutual opportunities are present: (1) rivers contribute to marine and estuary ecosystem resilience (targets 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.5); (2) resilient rivers are part of the global fisheries sustainability concerns (targets 14.4, 14.6, 14.7, 14.B) and (3) enhancing marine policy and research from a river and environmental flows perspective (targets 14.A, 14.C). Social media summary Restoring resilience to rivers and their environmental flows helps fulfil SDG 14.
非技术性总结河流对水循环至关重要,将景观与海洋连接起来。人类活动,包括污水排放、用水和渔业,已经改变了全球许多河流的复原力。可持续发展目标14优先考虑解决海洋生态系统中的许多相同问题。这篇综述说明了河流如何直接和间接地促进可持续发展目标14的成果,并提供了通过从河流到海洋的政策、管理和研究视角来解决这些问题的方法。技术摘要联合国发起可持续发展目标是为了“为人类和地球的和平与繁荣制定一个共同的蓝图,无论是现在还是未来”。成立于2015年的可持续发展目标针对水生环境,尽管2030年的最后期限即将到来,但进展缓慢。流态的改变与其他人为压力相结合,巩固了整个水生生态系统的生态影响。目前的可持续发展目标14目标(水下生命)没有系统地纳入河流和海洋系统的相互关系,也没有就如何全面改进现有管理和政策提出建议。因此,本次审查旨在说明河流和海洋生态系统之间关于可持续发展目标14目标的联系,并说明实现可持续发展目标的陆海战略。我们提供了一个应用案例研究来展示如何探索机会。我们回顾了存在相互机会的三个主要领域:(1)河流有助于海洋和河口生态系统的恢复力(目标14.1、14.2、14.3、14.5);(2) 有弹性的河流是全球渔业可持续性关注的一部分(目标14.4、14.6、14.7、14.B)和(3)从河流和环境流量的角度加强海洋政策和研究(目标14.a、14.C)。社交媒体摘要恢复河流及其环境流量的弹性有助于实现可持续发展目标14。

Non-technical summary We summarize what we assess as the past year's most important findings within climate change research: limits to adaptation, vulnerability hotspots, new threats coming from the climate–health nexus, climate (im)mobility and security, sustainable practices for land use and finance, losses and damages, inclusive societal climate decisions and ways to overcome structural barriers to accelerate mitigation and limit global warming to below 2°C. Technical summary We synthesize 10 topics within climate research where there have been significant advances or emerging scientific consensus since January 2021. The selection of these insights was based on input from an international open call with broad disciplinary scope. Findings concern: (1) new aspects of soft and hard limits to adaptation; (2) the emergence of regional vulnerability hotspots from climate impacts and human vulnerability; (3) new threats on the climate–health horizon – some involving plants and animals; (4) climate (im)mobility and the need for anticipatory action; (5) security and climate; (6) sustainable land management as a prerequisite to land-based solutions; (7) sustainable finance practices in the private sector and the need for political guidance; (8) the urgent planetary imperative for addressing losses and damages; (9) inclusive societal choices for climate-resilient development and (10) how to overcome barriers to accelerate mitigation and limit global warming to below 2°C. Social media summary Science has evidence on barriers to mitigation and how to overcome them to avoid limits to adaptation across multiple fields.

Non-technical summary Humans have the tendency to damage the natural environment in many ways. Deforestation and conversion of forests for residential, industrial development, and expansion of agricultural crops, as well as the burning of fossil fuels, are some activities that disrupt natural ecosystems and wildlife and contribute to climate change. As a result, the life cycles of pathogens and intermediate hosts (insects, rodents, mammals) as well as biodiversity are affected. Through these activities, humans meet wild animals that transmit pathogens, resulting in their infection by zoonoses and causing epidemics–pandemics, the effects of which have as their final recipient himself and his activities. Technical summary This article aims to highlight the two-way relationship between those human activities and the occurrence of epidemics–pandemics. We will try to elaborate this two-way relationship, through the overview of the current pandemic (origin of SARS-CoV-2, modes of transmission, clinical picture of the disease of COVID-19, influence of weather and air pollution on prevalence and mortality, pandemic effects, and treatments). They are used as primary sources, scientific articles, literature, websites, and databases (Supplementary appendix) to analyze factors involved in the occurrence and transmission of zoonotic diseases in humans (Ebola, influenza, Lyme disease, dengue fever, cholera, AIDS/HIV, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV). The present paper concluded that humanity today faces two major challenges: controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and minimizing the risk of a new global health crisis occurring in the future. The first can be achieved through equitable access to vaccines and treatments for all people. The second needs the global community to make a great change and start protecting the natural environment and its ecosystems through the adoption of prevention policies. Summary of social media Two-way relationship between human activities and epidemics highlighted, through review of the COVID-19 pandemic.
人类有在许多方面破坏自然环境的倾向。砍伐森林和将森林转化为住宅、工业发展和扩大农作物种植,以及燃烧化石燃料,这些活动破坏了自然生态系统和野生动物,并助长了气候变化。因此,病原体和中间宿主(昆虫、啮齿动物、哺乳动物)的生命周期以及生物多样性受到影响。通过这些活动,人类遇到了传播病原体的野生动物,导致它们感染人畜共患病,并引起流行病,其影响是最终的接受者本人及其活动。本文旨在强调这些人类活动与流行病-大流行的发生之间的双向关系。我们将尝试通过对当前大流行的概述(SARS-CoV-2的起源、传播方式、COVID-19疾病的临床表现、天气和空气污染对患病率和死亡率的影响、大流行的影响和治疗)来阐述这种双向关系。它们被用作主要来源、科学文章、文献、网站和数据库(补充附录),用于分析人类人畜共患疾病(埃博拉、流感、莱姆病、登革热、霍乱、艾滋病/艾滋病毒、SARS-CoV、MERS-CoV)发生和传播的相关因素。本文的结论是,人类今天面临两大挑战:控制COVID-19大流行和最大限度地降低未来发生新的全球卫生危机的风险。第一个目标可以通过所有人公平获得疫苗和治疗来实现。第二,需要国际社会作出重大改变,开始通过采取预防政策来保护自然环境及其生态系统。回顾2019冠状病毒病大流行,凸显人类活动与疫情的双向关系。

On economic modeling of carbon dioxide removal: values, bias, and norms for good policy-advising modeling 二氧化碳去除的经济模型:价值、偏差和良好政策建议模型的规范

Non-technical summary Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are important scientific tools for advising policymakers and the public on climate mitigation. Recent results of modeling exercises relied upon large amounts of techniques that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, undoing current and past emissions. I argue that the reliance on such techniques unduly shifts risk to future generations and away from current high emitting countries. From an ethical point of view, this is problematic. IAM studies need to be more explicit about the value positions that evidence of mitigation pathways depends upon and should represent a wider array of plausible value positions. Technical summary This paper analyzes the nonepistemic value judgments involved in modeling Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) techniques. The comparably high uncertainty of these techniques gives rise to epistemic risk when large-scale CDR is relied upon in most scenario evidence. Technological assumptions on CDR are thus entangled with nonepistemic value judgments. In particular, the reliance on large-scale CDR implies shifting risk to future generations and thereby gives a one-sided answer to questions of intergenerational justice. This bias in integrated assessment modeling is problematic given the policy-advising role of integrated modeling. Modeling climate mitigation should focus on transforming these implicit value positions into explicit scenario parameters and should aim to provide scenario evidence on the complete array of value-laden mitigation strategies. Social media summary The ethics of mitigation pathways, for example in relation to CDR, must be made transparent and plural.
非技术摘要综合评估模型是向决策者和公众提供气候缓解建议的重要科学工具。最近的模拟结果依赖于大量的技术,这些技术可以从大气中捕获二氧化碳,抵消当前和过去的排放。我认为,对此类技术的依赖过度地将风险从目前的高排放国家转移到了子孙后代身上。从伦理的角度来看,这是有问题的。IAM研究需要更明确地说明缓解途径证据所依赖的价值立场,并应代表更广泛的合理价值立场。本文分析了二氧化碳去除(CDR)技术建模中涉及的非认知价值判断。当在大多数情景证据中依赖大规模CDR时,这些技术的相对较高的不确定性会产生认知风险。因此,CDR上的技术假设与非认知价值判断纠缠在一起。特别是,对大规模CDR的依赖意味着将风险转移给后代,从而对代际公平问题给出了片面的答案。考虑到集成建模的政策建议作用,集成评估建模中的这种偏差是有问题的。模拟气候缓解应侧重于将这些隐含的价值立场转化为明确的情景参数,并应旨在提供关于一整套具有价值的缓解战略的情景证据。缓解途径的道德规范,例如与CDR有关的,必须透明和多元化。

Non-technical summary A substantial increase in wind energy deployment worldwide is required to help achieve international targets for decreasing global carbon emissions and limiting the impacts of climate change. In response to global concerns regarding the environmental effects of wind energy, the International Energy Agency Wind Technical Collaborative Program initiated Task 34 – Working Together to Resolve Environmental Effects of Wind Energy or WREN. As part of WREN, this study performed an international assessment with the global wind energy and environmental community to determine priority environmental issues over the next 5‒10 years and help support collaborative interactions among researchers, developers, regulators, and stakeholders. Technical summary A systematic assessment was performed using feedback from the international community to identify priority environmental issues for land-based and offshore wind energy development. Given the global nature of wind energy development, feedback was of interest from all countries where such development is underway or planned to help meet United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change targets. The assessment prioritized environmental issues over the next 5–10 years associated with wind energy development and received a total of 294 responses from 28 countries. For land-based wind, the highest-ranked issues included turbine collision risk for volant species (birds and bats), cumulative effects on species and ecosystems, and indirect effects such as avoidance and displacement. For offshore wind, the highest-ranked issues included cumulative effects, turbine collision risk, underwater noise (e.g. marine mammals and fish), and displacement. Emerging considerations for these priorities include potential application to future technologies (e.g. larger turbines and floating turbines), new stressors and species in frontier regions, and cumulative effects for multiple projects at a regional scale. For both land-based and offshore wind, effectiveness of minimization measures (e.g. detection and deterrence technologies) and costs for monitoring, minimization, and mitigation were identified as overarching challenges. Social media summary Turbine collisions and cumulative effects among the international environmental priorities for wind energy development.
非技术性摘要需要大幅增加全球风能部署,以帮助实现减少全球碳排放和限制气候变化影响的国际目标。为了应对全球对风能环境影响的担忧,国际能源署风能技术合作计划启动了任务34——共同解决风能或WREN的环境影响。作为WREN的一部分,本研究与全球风能和环境界进行了国际评估,以确定未来5-10年的优先环境问题,并帮助支持研究人员、开发商、监管机构和利益相关者之间的合作互动。技术摘要利用国际社会的反馈进行了系统评估,以确定陆上和海上风能开发的优先环境问题。鉴于风能开发的全球性质,正在进行或计划进行风能开发的所有国家都感兴趣,以帮助实现联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会的目标。该评估将未来5-10年与风能开发相关的环境问题列为优先事项,共收到28个国家的294份回复。对于陆基风电,排名最高的问题包括火山物种(鸟类和蝙蝠)的涡轮机碰撞风险、对物种和生态系统的累积影响,以及回避和流离失所等间接影响。对于海上风电,排名最高的问题包括累积效应、涡轮机碰撞风险、水下噪音(如海洋哺乳动物和鱼类)和位移。这些优先事项的新考虑因素包括未来技术的潜在应用(如大型涡轮机和浮动涡轮机)、前沿地区的新压力源和物种,以及区域范围内多个项目的累积影响。对于陆基和海上风电,最小化措施(如探测和威慑技术)的有效性以及监测、最小化和缓解的成本被确定为首要挑战。社交媒体摘要风机碰撞和累积效应是风能开发的国际环境优先事项。
