A policy review of synergies and trade-offs in South African climate change mitigation and air pollution control strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Climate change mitigation and air quality management are mostly addressed separately in South African legal acts and policies. This approach is not always coherent, especially in the context of other serious issues South Africa is facing, suh as poverty ...

Taxonomy, Saving Potentials and Key Performance Indicators for Energy End-Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Aluminium Industry and Aluminium Casting Foundries

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Increasing energy efficiency within the industrial sector is one of the main approaches in order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. The production and processing of aluminium is energy and greenhouse gas intensive.

Greenhouse gas mitigation studied

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991
The level of 1990 greenhouse gas emissions can be significantly reduced at relatively low cost, says Thomas Lee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the committee chair of the Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming, Report of the Mitigation Panel. The 500‐page report, released June 14 by the National Academy of Sciences, expands the 17‐page

Commercial afforestation can deliver effective climate change mitigation under multiple decarbonisation pathways

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Afforestation is an important greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategy but the efficacy of commercial (harvested) forestry is disputed. Here the authors apply dynamic life cycle assessment to show that new commercial conifer forests can achieve up to 269%

Biodiversity can benefit from climate stabilization despite adverse side effects of land-based mitigation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Greenhouse gas mitigation can involve land-use changes that alter the habitat available for wildlife. Here, Ohashi et al. perform an integrated assessment showing that climate mitigation can be beneficial for global biodiversity but may entail local ...

Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...
