Nature-dependent people: Mapping human direct use of nature for basic needs across the tropics

Giacomo Fedele et al.

Summary: Understanding where people highly depend on natural resources for their basic needs is crucial for planning conservation and development interventions. Based on research findings, approximately 1.2 billion people across tropical countries have a high direct dependency on nature, highlighting the importance of designing nature-based strategies for promoting environmental benefits and inclusive human development.

The water footprint of carbon capture and storage technologies

Lorenzo Rosa et al.

Summary: Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an important technology to reduce fossil CO2 emissions and water footprint assessment shows that Bioenergy with CCS has the highest water footprint per tonne CO2 captured. Diversified portfolio of CCS technologies in climate mitigation scenarios have lower impacts on water resources. Water-scarce regions should prioritize water-efficient CCS technologies in their mitigation goals.

Global bioenergy with carbon capture and storage potential is largely constrained by sustainable irrigation

Zhipin Ai et al.

Summary: This study shows that while unlimited irrigation can significantly increase the potential of Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), sustainable irrigation only slightly enhances its potential. The global BECCS potential is influenced by irrigation constraints.

Drivers and impacts of changes in China's drylands

Changjia Li et al.

Summary: Global drylands, including China, are at risk of desertification due to anthropogenic climate change and human activities. Large-scale restoration and conservation programmes have shown positive effects in improving land quality and vegetation cover in some dryland areas in China, but challenges still remain in managing and mitigating desertification.
