Following the Paris Agreement, virtually all countries worldwide have committed themselves to undertaking efforts limit global warming 1.5 °C. Within European Union (EU), recent ‘Fit for 55’ policy package proposes ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies sectors as part of EU's contribution limiting warming. Yet, it is unclear whether proposed are sufficient EU °C and remains an open...

A 14-month study was undertaken to assess the long-term efficiencies of four dust suppressants (i.e., biocatalyst stabilizer, polymer emulsion, petroleum emulsion with polymer, and nonhazardous crude-oil-containing materials) to reduce the emission of PM10 from public unpaved roads. PM10 emission rates were calculated for each test section and for an untreated section for comparison purposes. E...

Mitigation pathways exploring end-of-century temperature targets often entail overshoot. Little is known about the additional climate risks generated by overshooting temperature. Here we assessed benefits of limiting We computed probabilistic impacts for different warming and overshoot levels on basis an ensemble integrated assessment models. explored both physical macroeconomic impacts, includ...

If the global healthcare system would be a country, it fifth largest emitter. Hence various health care systems worldwide have committed themselves to become carbon neutral. In Europe, Germany as an economy and German produces by far most emissions. This has significant impact on of population in Germany, Europe worldwide. It leads Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) well premature deaths. T...
