ClimActor 2.0: A spatialized database of subnational climate pledges and emissions data Open
ClimActor 2.0 is an open, spatialized database that compiles climate targets, action plans, and self-reported emission inventories from subnational governments, including cities, municipalities, states and regions, worldwide. The dataset p…
One Belt, Many Roads: Investigating China’s foreign investment and land-use impacts in Southeast Asia Open
Foreign direct investment (FDI) can reshape landscapes in developing countries, but its impact remains unclear. This study examines how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) FDI impacts land-cover and land-use change in Southeast Asia, a …
Machine learning estimates for G20 subnational GHG emissions from 2000-2020 using self-reported emissions data Open
Reliable, comparable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data at the subnational level remain scarce, despite growing expectations for cities and regions to lead on climate action. Inconsistent reporting, methodological variation, and limited c…
Next-Generation Digital Ecosystem for Climate Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery: A Review of Digital Data Collection Technologies Open
Climate change has been called "the defining challenge of our age" and yet the global community lacks adequate information to understand whether actions to address it are succeeding or failing to mitigate it. The emergence of technologies …

Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Binding Characterization for Screening RNA-Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs): Exploring Species Cross-Reactivity in LNP–Apolipoprotein E Interactions Open
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are an essential delivery platform for nucleic acid payloads that are susceptible to degradation or elimination. Upon administration, a biomolecular corona composed of serum proteins forms around the LNP surface,…
Red Flags in Green Promises: A Framework for Identifying Greenwashing Risk in Corporate Climate Pledges Open
As corporate net-zero pledges multiply, concerns about their credibility and potential for greenwashing are rising. This study is the first to develop a framework specifically tailored to assessing greenwashing in climate and net-zero pled…
Bridging Territorial and Consumption-Based Emissions for Urban Climate Action Assessment Open
Urban areas are responsible for the vast majority of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, yet their full contribution, particularly from consumption-based sources, remains inconsistently measured. To address this problem, we provide an u…

Blockchain and regenerative finance: charting a path toward regeneration Open
The Regenerative Finance (ReFi) movement aims to fundamentally transform the governance of global common pool resources (CPRs), such as the atmosphere, which are being degraded despite international efforts. The ReFi movement seeks to achi…
Integrated fire management as an adaptation and mitigation strategy to altered fire regimes Open
Altered fire regimes are a global challenge, increasingly exacerbated by climate change, which modifies fire weather and prolongs fire seasons. These changing conditions heighten the vulnerability of ecosystems and human populations to the…
Equity-Based Emissions Allocations in Multi-Level Governance Open
Local governments are widely adopting voluntary emissions targets to contribute to their fair share of global mitigation efforts. Limited research, often from grey literature and developed with local governments, have adapted national fair…
Sensitivity and vulnerability to summer heat extremes in major cities of the United States Open
Many cities are experiencing increases in extreme heat because of global temperature rise combined with the urban heat island effect. The heterogeneity of urban morphology also leads to fine-scale variability in potential for heat exposure…

Foreign direct investment (FDI) can reshape landscapes in developing countries, but its impact remains unclear. This study examines how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) FDI impacts land-cover and land-use change in Southeast Asia, a …
Ambient air pollution and consumer spending: Evidence from Spain Open
Research on the economic burden of air pollution has focused primarily on its macroeconomic impact. However, as some studies have found that air pollution can lead to avoidance behavior–for example, reducing the time spent outdoors–we hypo…

Cities and regions tackle climate change mitigation but often focus on less effective solutions Open
Although the potential for cities and regions to contribute to global mitigation efforts is widely acknowledged, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of subnational mitigation strategies. Here we address this gap through a systema…
