Regional agricultural drought vulnerability prediction based on interpretable Random Forest.

Drought is one of the leading natural disasters in the world. It severely restricts the normal functioning of societies and economies. The purpose of this paper is to predict the drought vulnerability index in Henan Province so that timely measures can be taken to mitigate the impact of drought and to ensure the continued stability of people's lives and social development.

Research on the prediction model of agricultural drought hazard considering the time-delayed cumulative effect and system development characteristics.

Agricultural drought hazard is a complex time-delayed system affected by multiple hazard factors. The ability to estimate agricultural drought hazard accurately is crucial for guaranteeing food security. A TDMGM(1,m,N) prediction model coupling the time-delayed cumulative driving effect of multi-factor and the development characteristics of multi-system is constructed by introducing the time-delayed driving term and simultaneous formula with the goal of solving the problem of multivariate time-delayed prediction modeling of agricultural drought hazard.

What inhibits regional inclusive green growth? Empirical evidence from China.

The diversity of locations, environment, and resource elements among different regions leads to the regional imbalance of inclusive green growth (IGG), especially in those developing countries like China. A core issue for achieving the coordination of regional IGG is to identify what influence factors with what extent to inhibit IGG levels of different regions. In this paper, a comprehensive IGG indicator system is designed based on the IGG connotation from four dimensions of economic development, social opportunity equity, green production and consumption, and ecological environment protection.

Optimal path for overcoming barriers in developing China's wind energy industry.

Developing the wind energy industry (WEI) has been a long-term strategy in China for responding to the energy crisis and greenhouse gas emissions. However, China's WEI faces various barriers despite its favorable prospects. This paper aims to propose a path analysis approach for exploring the best methods and timing for overcoming diverse barriers in developing WEI systematically, especially in terms of revealing in which phases these barriers should take priority.

Barriers to implementing the strictest environmental protection institution: a multi-stakeholder perspective from China.

Increasingly severe environmental issues, especially those in developing countries such as China, drive the evolution of the environmental protection institution (EPI) to its strictest levels. However, the implementation of the strictest EPI still confronts various challenges and barriers, and the multi-stakeholder features of EPI determine these barriers are not independent of one another but rather present complex interactive relationships. This paper identifies the barriers to implementing China's EPI from four aspects of environmental legal, economic, regulatory, and public participation institutions.
