Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a pressing global ecological and environmental challenge. Our study is dedicated to exploring the various factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and predicting their future trends. To this end, we have analyzed data from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region spanning from 1978 to 2022, aiming to estimate the carbon emissions associated with animal husbandry in the region.

Global food loss and waste continues to increase despite efforts to reduce it. Food waste causes a disproportionally large carbon footprint and resource burdens, which require urgent action to transition away from a disposal-dominated linear system to a circular bioeconomy of recovery and reuse of valuable resources. Here, using data from field-based studies conducted under diverse conditions worldwide, we found collective evidence that composting, anaerobic digestion and repurposing food waste to animal feed (re-feed) result in emission reductions of about 1 tCOe t food waste recycled compared with landfill disposal.

The notable rise in carbon emissions has profoundly affected humanity's sustainable development. Achieving the "dual-carbon" goal requires understanding how enterprises can effectively reduce their carbon footprint. To elucidate the dynamic correlation of environmental regulation, corporate technological innovation, and corporate carbon emissions, this study employs a Panel Vector Autoregression model to analyze data from listed firms between 2005 and 2021, using GMM regression, impulse response analysis, and variance decomposition.

Methane removal is an essential step in drinking water production from methane-rich groundwaters. Conventional aeration-based stripping results in significant direct methane emissions, contributing up to one-third of a treatment plant's total carbon footprint. To address this, a full-scale trickling filter was operated for biological methane oxidation upstream of a submerged sand filter, and its performance was compared to a conventional aeration-submerged sand filtration set-up.

Objective: Our study examines factors influencing surgical specialists' choice of surgical technique and assesses the significance of the carbon footprint in this decision-making process. It also investigates their attitudes, behaviours and barriers to environmental sustainability.
Background: Climate change significantly threatens health, with surgery being a major contributor to healthcare's carbon footprint.
