Multi-scenario analysis of green water resource efficiency under carbon emission constraints in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, China: A system dynamics approach by Keyao Yu, Zhigang Li

“…The study finds that: (1) GWRE in the CCUA from 2005 to 2021 has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with the kernel density curve shifting from “short and wide” to “tall and narrow” and the peak moving to the right, indicating a gradual narrowing of GWRE disparities. (2) Model run tests and historical tests on the GWRE system demonstrate that the relative errors between the model’s predictions and actual outcomes are within 5%, confirming the model’s stability and effectiveness. (3) The green innovation and comprehensive development scenarios yield the best outcomes in terms of GWRE and carbon emission control from 2022 to 2035, reflecting the coordinated development of the economy, environment, and society. …”

Assessing the Air Quality Impact of Train Operation at Tokyo Metro Shibuya Station from Portable Sensor Data by Deepanshu Agarwal, Xuan Truong Trinh, Wataru Takeuchi

“…These findings suggest that ventilation efficiency plays a more significant role than elevation in vertical PM variation, while horizontal differences are likely influenced by piston effects from moving trains. This study underscores the risk of exposure to unsafe PM2.5 levels in underground platforms, particularly at platform extremities, highlighting the need for improved ventilation strategies to enhance air quality in subway environments.…”

Global surgery and climate change: how global surgery can prioritise both the health of the planet and its people by Sophia Chen, Yvan Zolo, Lumbani Ngulube, Moses Isiagi, Salome Maswime

“…Global Surgery initiatives must prioritise sustainable infrastructure in both high-income countries (HICs) and LMICs, all while accounting for the unequal polluting contributions between HICs and LMICs and, consequently, moral responsibilities moving forward. Moreover, through targeting upstream causes of poor health at urban and perioperative levels, Global Surgery’s interventions may help to reduce the global burden of disease—avoiding preventable surgeries and their carbon footprints from the outset. …”
