Protocol for estimating exposure to compound heat wave and ozone pollution under future climate change

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Here we describe the procedure for estimating exposure to the compound heatwave and ozone pollution under future climate scenarios. We first apply the daily-level temperature and ozone concentration across the world and perform bias correction ...

Protocol for estimating the impact of climate change on economic growth and inequality under climate policies

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: The impact of climate change on economic inequality has attracted increasing attention from both government and academia. Here, we present a protocol for estimating both the impact of climate change on economic growth and economic growth ...

Connected in diversity: Isotopic analysis refines provenance for Islamic plant-ash glass from the eastern Silk Roads

iScience, 2023
Summary: Our understanding of glass production in Eurasia has been built mostly on evidence from Europe and the Mediterranean. Here, we investigate the occurrence and organization of plant-ash glass production in the eastern continental Islamic region ...

Addressing path dependencies in decision-making processes for operationalizing compound climate-risk management

iScience, 2023
Summary: The need for a compound risk governance system and management practice is argued in this paper. We find that, historically, risk management strategies have been developed for single hazards and are often subject to path dependency.

Nature-based climate solutions require a mix of socioeconomic and governance attributes

iScience, 2022
Summary: Nature-based climate solutions (NCS) can play a crucial role in reducing climate change. There is, however, a lack of understanding of the biophysical, social, and political contexts surrounding NCS, which hampers its practical implementation ...

Consideration of compound drivers and impacts in the disaster risk reduction cycle

iScience, 2023
Summary: Consideration of compound drivers and impacts are often missing from applications within the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) cycle, leading to poorer understanding of risk and benefits of actions.

An optimized water table depth detected for mitigating global warming potential of greenhouse gas emissions in wetland of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

iScience
Summary: Climate change and human activities have intensified variations of water table depth (WTD) in wetlands around the world, which may strongly affect greenhouse gas emissions.

Protocol for making forecasts exogenous in the International Futures model

STAR Protocols
Summary: Understanding future dynamics and trends in human and natural development is foundational for creating appropriate policy strategies to address planetary and development challenges. Here, we present a protocol for adding exogenous series for key
