An overview of approaches for assessing the environmental sustainability of diets – a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023 by Tim G. Benton, Helen Harwatt, Anne Høyer-Lund, Helle Margrete Meltzer, Ellen Trolle, Rune Blomhoff

“…The increasing number of Life Cycle Assessment and food system analyses, and more recently the integration of planetary boundaries offer insights from which we can draw some robust high-level conclusions, whilst recognising there is a need for more detailed analysis to capture the inherent nuances of more location and context-specific situations.Despite the complexity of assessing the environmental sustainability of food, diets and food systems, there are a number of key considerations that could be used to guide this process, and in doing so, they help to increase utility of the outcomes and limit unintended adverse consequences. …”

Sustainability beyond the triple bottom line: evaluating transformative change in food systems by Richard M. Gunton, Richard M. Gunton, Jan van der Stoep, Yoseph Araya, Henk Jochemsen

“…The conventional two-way analysis of sustainability, into (1) human needs as ends and (2) means to meet such needs, and the scheme of nine planetary boundaries, are taken as starting points for a more balanced proposal set out in this conceptual paper. …”

It is time to tackle psychological determinants of obesity and eating disorders by Pietro Crescenzo

“…Nutrition is a complex problem, where obesity, undernutrition and climate change interact to challenge the global food system, as about 3 billion people are undernourished or overnourished and food production is exceeding planetary boundaries. As stated by the EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets for Sustainable Food Systems, nutrition is a global problem that would require a dedicated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) [2]. …”

The Effects of Anthropogenic Heat Release on Urban Meteorology and Implication for Haze Pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region by Ruiting Liu, Zhiwei Han

“…The model also exhibited a better performance for planetary boundary layer (PBL) height. This study revealed that AHR from cities exerted a significant impact on meteorology by generally increasing surface air temperature and wind speed, decreasing relative humidity, and elevating PBL height and near surface turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), which could consequently reduce surface pollutant concentration and mitigate haze pollution by enhancing atmospheric instability and turbulent mixing and reducing aerosol hygroscopic growth.…”

Numerical Simulations of the South American Low Level Jet in Two Episodes of MCSs: Sensitivity to PBL and Convective Parameterization Schemes by Daniel Caetano Santos, Ernani de Lima Nascimento

“…The sensitivity of numerical simulations of the low level jet stream (LLJS) in South America to the choice of parameterization schemes for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and for cumulus convection using the Advanced Research core of the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model was assessed for two cases in which the development of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) was observed in the La Plata Basin at the exit of the LLJS. …”
