This chapter advances UN SDG goals 12 and 13 by providing a historical perspective of the warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, describes our growing understanding of climate change, the parallel development of Earth-system modeling capabilities, the Paris Agreement and the need to transition to nonfossil energy and the decarbonization of the global economy

This article shows that ecological factors play a significant role in shaping the phytochemical diversity among and within wild populations of Teucrium marum.

This study analysis four wetland technologies for treating greywater according to regulatory standards.

This Review supports SDGs 3 and 13 by synthesizing the recent evidence on whether and how climate change, manifested in meteorological fluctuations, extreme weather events, and long-term global warming, influences the epidemic dynamics of viral respiratory infections, including spatiotemporal distribution of seasonal epidemic, disease outbreaks, and pandemics.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by comprehensively assessing the future out-of-hospital cardiac arrest morbidity burden related to non-optimal temperatures, heatwaves, and cold spells in Northern China under different climate change scenarios.

This article describes the effects of climate and environmental change on viticulture in heroic & steep slope settings

In addressing the SDGs in general, the authors pose the question, “What is the potential role of SDGs as an accountability mechanism?”. A case study approach using interviews is taken to examine how certain organisations may use the SDGs as an accountability mechanism, and whether or not meaningful accountability is actually being achieved. It is concluded that the full opportunities offered by the SDGs are not yet in full use.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by identifying gaps in air pollution monitoring and regulation and by proposing potential mitigation policies.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by identifying knowledge gaps in the relationship between harmul algal bloom aerosols and human health.

Heavy duty freight transportation is a key part of global transportation, but is a large contributor to growing CO2 emissions. Here the authors design an on-board system for heavy duty vehicles to capture CO2 as it is released. This supports SDGs 7 (reducing CO2 emissions toward clean energy), 9 (modifications to existing vehicles to mitigate carbon emissions) and 13 (reducing emissions that contribute to climate change).
