AbstractThe renewal and expansion of the built environment within the context of rapid urbanization are imposing new benchmarks for resource management, particularly concerning the billions of tons of consumption and waste generation of concrete materials. The commercialization of carbonation in cementitious materials is underway, opening up possibilities for nitrogenation that has been well documented in recent experimental studies.

AbstractAchieving low-carbon development of the cement industry in the developing countries is fundamental to global emissions abatement, considering the local construction industry’s rapid growth. However, there is currently a lack of systematic and accurate accounting and projection of cement emissions in developing countries, which are characterized with lower basic economic country condition.

The rapid spread of solar power plants onto cropland is having increasingly detrimental impacts. Targeted policy and technological solutions are urgently needed to resolve the tension between renewable energy and food production. The spatial mismatch between energy demand and supply in China exacerbates the situation. Production of solar energy is shifting from the land- and solar-radiation-rich west of China towards the east, where energy demand and markets are well developed (Fig. 2e).

AbstractThe low-carbon power transition, which is key to combatting climate change, has far-reaching effects on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in terms of issues such as resource use, environmental emissions, employment, and many more. Here, we assess the potential impacts of the power transition on progress toward achieving multiple SDGs (covering 18 targets across the 17 goals) across 49 economies under nine socioeconomic and climate scenarios.
