Blue Carbon Ecosystems — The article identifies key research priorities for blue carbon ecosystems, emphasizing the need to manage these ecosystems sustainably while supporting coastal communities and integrating traditional…
[cited] Quality and effectiveness gaps in carbon credit markets (news) — Carbon credits are a widely-used climate policy tool that allow companies to offset emissions by funding reduction projects elsewhere, but their effectiveness is increasingly questioned due to poor…
Carbon farming and soil carbon sequestration in Mediterranean… (news) — The article discusses the potential of carbon farming in Mediterranean agricultural soils to capture greenhouse gases by increasing soil organic carbon through practices like agroforestry, cover…
Fossil fuel subsidies and their impact on climate policy (news) — Governments worldwide continue to spend enormous sums on fossil fuel subsidies despite commitments to reduce them, making fossil fuels artificially cheap and hindering climate action. Estimates of…
Regenerative agriculture and sustainable farming (news) — Regenerative farming enhances green agriculture by restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improving ecosystem resilience, which leads to higher crop yields and farm profitability. It…
[cited] Conservation and economic sustainability (news) — Costa Rica has successfully reversed deforestation and achieved 57% forest cover by prioritizing conservation through innovative policies like the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme, funded…
Blue carbon and coastal restoration (news) — Japan is leveraging blue carbon ecosystems—such as seagrass and seaweed beds—to combat climate change and restore degraded coastal habitats. The country has established a carbon credit system (J-Blue…
Conservation-development synergy in protected areas (news) — A comprehensive study of nearly 10,000 protected areas found that conservation and economic growth are not mutually exclusive, with 91% of protected areas losing no more natural land than unprotected…
Electric vehicles vs. gasoline cars environmental impact (news) — Driving on electricity is now significantly cleaner than using gasoline, with electric vehicles (EVs) producing far fewer greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime, even when accounting for…
Agrivoltaic system economic performance (news) — The article analyzes the economic performance of different agrivoltaic (APV) system designs—specifically one-axis, vertical, and elevated—across Europe, using Monte Carlo simulations to assess…
[cited] Carbon sequestration potential of young secondary forests (news) — A recent study reveals that young secondary forests aged 20 to 40 years are the most efficient carbon sinks, removing carbon up to eight times faster per hectare than newly regenerating forests.…
Environmental damage from food and fossil fuels (news) — A UN Global Environment Outlook report reveals that unsustainable food and fossil fuel production inflict $5 billion in environmental damage hourly, totaling $45 trillion annually, primarily from…
