CLIMATE EXTREMES AND AGRICULTURAL RESILIENCE UNDER FUTURE EMISSION SCENARIOS

CLIMATE EXTREMES AND AGRICULTURAL RESILIENCE UNDER FUTURE EMISSION SCENARIOS Abstract Climate extremes are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity under anthropogenic climate change, posing significant risks to global agricultural systems and food security. This study integrates downscaled regional climate projections under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) with crop simulation modeling to evaluate…

NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY RESTORATION AND CARBON SEQUESTRATION

NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY RESTORATION AND CARBON SEQUESTRATION Abstract This research evaluates restoration strategies that enhance biodiversity and carbon storage in degraded landscapes. The study investigates the effectiveness of various nature-based interventions, including reforestation, wetland restoration, and habitat connectivity enhancement, in promoting species richness and ecosystem function. Using field surveys, GIS spatial analysis, and carbon…

URBAN AIR POLLUTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH RISK IN RAPIDLY GROWING CITIES

URBAN AIR POLLUTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH RISK IN RAPIDLY GROWING CITIES Abstract Rapid urbanization has intensified air pollution in cities worldwide, posing significant public health risks. This study examines the relationship between urban air pollutants-such as particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (03)-and health outcomes in rapidly growing urban…
