BACKGROUND Crops grown under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (eCO2) contain less protein. Crops particularly affected include rice and wheat, which are primary sources of dietary protein for many countries. OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate global and country-specific risks of protein deficiency attributable to anthropogenic CO2 emissions by 2050. METHODS To model per capita protein i...

Global warming requires a response characterized by forward-looking management of atmospheric carbon and respect for ethical principles. Both safety and fairness must be pursued, and there are severe trade-offs as these are intertwined by the limited headroom for additional atmospheric CO2 emissions. This paper provides a simple numerical mapping at the aggregated level of developed vs. develop...

In Australia, dairy cattle account for ~12% of the nation’s agricultural greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Genetic selection has had a positive impact, reducingGHGemissions fromdairy systemsmainly due to increased production per cow,which has led to (1) requiring fewer cows to produce the same amount ofmilk and (2) lowering emissions per unit of milk produced (emission intensity). The objective o...

Low-carbon public passenger transport is an important part of low carbon city. The CO2 emissions of public passenger transport in Tianjin from 1995 to 2010 are estimated with IPCC CO2 counting method, which shows that the total CO2 emissions of Tianjin public passenger transport have gradually become stable at 1,425.1 thousand tons. And then the CO2 emissions of the buses, taxies, and rail tran...

Depending on how it functions and is organized, the financial system can have a negative, positive, or zero impact environment. For Bangladesh, empirical relationship between development environment, measured in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita, analysed over period 1980 to 2020. This first such analysis for this country. We perform within non-linear bound testing framework wh...

the need for monitoring the overall performance of countries in sustainable development (sd) is widely recognized, but scant attention has been devoted to methods for aggregating and analyzing vast amounts of empirical data. this paper describes the development and application of a data envelopment analysis (dea) methodology for addressing the challenges of benchmarking sustainable development....

Global management of wetlands to suppress greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, facilitate carbon (C) sequestration, and reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations while simultaneously promoting agricultural gains is paramount. However, studies that relate variability in CO2 and CH4 emissions at large spatial scales are limited. We investigated three-year emissions of soil CO2 and CH4 from the primary wet...

This study examines the long-term relationship between carbon emissions and a number of researchers engaged in Research Development (R&D), economic development, foreign capital inflows, renewable energy population growth 26 countries 1995 2015. Pedroni’s panel cointegration test confirms cointegrating variables. Long-term elasticities are derived from FMOLS regression. Researchers R&D n...
