Rising seas due to climate change threaten China’s rapidly developing coasts. However, coastal policy decisions will shape who and what is exposed to those rising seas and how much the land sinks, a new research paper published in Nature reveals. “Climate change is global, but coastal risk plays out locally”, the international team of Chinese and European researchers emphasize.

A new study reveals that Sweden has a high potential to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through changes in its food system. Key strategies include adjusting diets, phasing out fossil fuels across the food chain and reducing food waste. Together, they can help us stay within the planetary boundary for climate and improve people’s health.
