Mangroves among the most carbon-rich forests in the tropics por Donato, D., Kauffman, J.B., Murdiyarso, Daniel, Kurnianto, S., Stidham, M., Kanninen, M.

“…However, the areal extent of mangrove forests has declined by 30–50% over the past half century as a result of coastal development, aquaculture expansion and over-harvesting1, 2, 3, 4. Carbon emissions resulting from mangrove loss are uncertain, owing in part to a lack of broad-scale data on the amount of carbon stored in these ecosystems, particularly below ground5. …”

Emission savings through the COP26 declaration of deforestation could come at the expense of non-forest land conversion por Mishra, Abhijeet, Humpenöder, Florian, Reyer, Christopher P. O., Beier, Felicitas, Lotze-Campen, Hermann, Popp, Alexander

“…Global initiatives are needed to facilitate a common dialogue on addressing the possible carbon emissions and non-forest leakage effects due to the expedited loss of non-forested land under a policy aimed at halting deforestation by 2030.…”

Climate Smart Mechanization in Central Asia por Devkota Wasti, Mina Kumari

“…Adoption of suitable machinery can increase food production, minimize water usage for irrigation, reduce production costs and post-harvest losses, as well as save manpower while also contributing to the reduction in carbon emissions. Thus, the identification, introduction, and scaling up of sustainable climate-smart mechanization practices is important for sustainable agriculture production in the region. …”

Potential for biofuel feedstock in Kenya por Ndegwa G, Moraa V, Jamnadass, Ramni H., Mowo J, Nyabenge, M., Iiyama, Miyuki

“…Many developing countries, Kenya included, want to diversify their domestic energy supply hence reduce dependence on highly volatile fossil fuel prices, enhance access to energy in rural areas, promote rural development and to reduce carbon emissions.This study was done to assess the potential for supply of biofuel feedstock for bioethanol and biodiesel production for domestic consumption and export. …”

Carbon forestry and local livelihoods : a case study on poverty in Uganda por Ellingsen, Tove

“…The Green Resources carbon forestry plantation in northern Uganda is a particularly interesting case in a Swedish perspective, because the Swedish Energy Agency is committed to buying its carbon emissions reductions within a clean development mechanism (CDM) project under the Kyoto protocol. …”

To fly or not to fly por Snippe, Jara

“…With the global temperature rising and the fight to stay below a 2-degree global warming, environmentalists, environmental organizations and climate scientists are arguing that there is a need to reduce global carbon emissions to mitigate climate change. However, advocating for sustainable behaviour does not necessarily lead to performing sustainable behaviour. …”

Local social and environmental impacts of biofuels: Global comparative assessment and implications for governance por German, L., Schoneveld, George C., Pacheco, P.

“…This trend has been spurred by policies in the European Union, United States, Brazil, and other countries favoring the use of biofuels in the transport sector to enhance energy security and reduce carbon emissions, as well as by the desire of governments in developing countries to harness the stimulus that new commercial investments provide to the agricultural sector and to national economies. …”

A place in the sun: farmers’ co-benefits from solar irrigation in Bangladesh por Buisson, Marie-Charlotte, Mitra, Archisman, Hounsa, T., Habib, Md. A., Mukherji, Aditi

“…Solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) are gradually replacing diesel pumps in relatively water-intensive agricultural production systems and geographies to reduce carbon emissions from food systems. However, beyond its climate change mitigation potential and fulfillment of Nationally Determined Contributions commitments, the adoption of solar irrigation also has direct co-benefits for farmers. …”

A critical review of quantifying water-energy-food nexus interactions por Li, W., Ward, P. J., van Wesenbeeck, L.

“…Moreover, this review shows that: the number of resource interactions examined in empirical applications is much lower than in theoretical studies; the study of physical resource interactions remains dominant; environmental considerations are biased towards water quality and carbon emissions; and there is a misalignment between research questions and empirical methodologies. …”
