AbstractCities and companies have great potential to reduce pressures on Earth system boundaries. Science-based target setting has emerged as a powerful tool to help achieve the potential, but its uptake has been limited. Moreover, cities and companies usually develop their targets separately, even though many are co-located. Focusing on the top 200 cities and 500 companies by greenhouse gas emissions, we analyse the current state and potential of adopting science-based targets for climate.

AbstractOperating within safe and just Earth system boundaries requires mobilizing key actors across scale to set targets and take actions accordingly. Robust, transparent and fair cross-scale translation methods are essential to help navigate through the multiple steps of scientific and normative judgements in translation, with clear awareness of associated assumptions, bias and uncertainties.

AbstractSuperhydrophobic coatings show great application potential in many fields, but they have not been widely used due to poor stability. A Ni-PTFE-SiC composite coating was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the Ni-PTFE-SiC coating structure was designed by molecular dynamics simulations. The feasibility of superhydrophobic effect of this structure and the adsorption stability of the composite coatings were proved.
