Coordinating socioeconomic development and environmental conservation is es-sential for ensuring sustainable development.Previous studies have primarily focused on evaluating key dimensions of coordination,i.e.,performance alignment and progress syn-chronization,in isolation,thus limiting a comprehensive understanding.Assessment methods also face limitations because of the lack of reliable and comparable performance evaluation criteria,insufficient differentiation in coordination measurement,and symmetry issues that conceal distinct coordination patterns.To address these gaps,a dual-dimensional coordina-tion analytical framework is developed in which Sustainable Development Goals(SDG)-based criteria and refined coordination measurement methods are incorporated.Application of this framework to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau reveals that environmental and socioeconomic goal achievement increased by 15%from 2000 to 2020,reaching 59%and 41%,respectively.The degree of performance alignment remained moderate,and progress synchronization was generally high,with both improving over time despite persistent regional disparities.Under the assumption of SDG achievement by 2030,projections indicate that only counties on the eastern plateau and in parts of Lhasa are likely to sustain coordinated progress,while 51%of counties face dual-dimensional coordination challenges,which poses barriers to SDG at-tainment.These findings highlight the need for phased and region-specific policy strategies.This framework provides a systematic approach for analysing coordination challenges and guiding policy formulation,with broader applicability across regions.
Identifying a flood risk management (FRM) performance evaluation method that aligns with the sustainable development goals of the natural-social complex ecosystem is essential for effective and timely responses to flood risks. Using the Taihu Lake Basin (TLB) as a case study, this research systematically examines the evolving needs of FRM under climate change and proposes a performance evaluation method based on Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The method covers multiple dimensions including flood resources, socio-economic, and environmental factors. Principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to assess changes in the FRM level in TLB from 2010 to 2020. The key findings are as follows: First, FRM in TLB demonstrated a nonlinear upward trend, with the comprehensive FRM score increasing from 1.07 to 9.01, and marked differences in performance observed before and after 2016. Second, from 2010 to 2016, the annual growth rate of the comprehensive score reached 30.27%. Lower scores in ecological protection and agricultural flood control reveal an imbalanced focus on infrastructure. Third, from 2016 to 2020, after the introduction of NbS into basin-level FRM, the components related to natural ecology, ecological environment, and agricultural production resilience recorded annual growth rates of 45.34%, 36.93%, and 179.80%, respectively. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating NbS into FRM and adapting policies in response to climate-induced flood risks. This study offers a structured approach to FRM, contributes to sustainable development planning in TLB, and serves as a reference for similar regions.
The global biodiversity loss is one of the greatest challenges in 21st century. Based on the report by Australian experts at 2025 China-Australia Workshop on Environmental Protection and Biodiversity, a comprehensive review and introduction were conducted on the current status of biodiversity in Australias major biota, the influencing factors or main threats to endangered species, possible future trends, and corresponding conservation or management strategies. In order to provide scientific and decision-making supports for strengthening exchange and cooperation in the fields of biodiversity conservation between Chinese Academy of Sciences and Australian Academy of Science, pushing forward the work of biodiversity conservation between two countries, and jointly dealing with global biodiversity crisis.
Assessing the balance between ecosystem service supply and demand (ESSD) relationship and identifying its driving factors is essential for addressing ecosystem degradation. While previous local-scale studies have highlighted climate change and human activities as critical influences, their roles at a global scale remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze the global dynamics of supply-demand relationships for four key ecosystem services-food production, carbon sequestration, soil conservation, and water yield-over the period 2000-2020. We find that ESSD relationships generally exhibit spatially high supply-low demand and quantitatively surplus characteristics. Climate change and human activity influence ESSD relationships in dual-directional pathways. Specifically, they positively affect food production and soil conservation in 80.69 % and 72.50 % of global regions respectively; while negatively influencing carbon sequestration and water yield in 76.74 % and 62.44 % of global regions respectively. Human activity primarily shapes the ESSD relationships for food production and carbon sequestration, with mean contribution rates of 66.54 % and 60.80 % respectively; whereas climate change exerts greater control over soil conservation and water yield, with mean contribution rates of 54.62 % and 55.41 % respectively. Our findings clarify the direction (positive or negative), mode (individual or combined), contribution rates, and geographic distribution of these impacts. This research closes a critical gap in understanding global ESSD relationships and provides essential insights to inform sustainable ecosystem management from local to global scales.
A deeper understanding of the relationship between urban expansion and ecosystem services (RUE ESs) is closely linked to achieving sustainable development goals and enhancing human well-being. Socioeconomic factors play an important role in the relationship, but how they have an impact at different spatial scales remains unclear. The objectives of our study are to clarify the influence of socioeconomic factors on the RUE ESs and identify key influencing factors at different scales. We constructed a multiscale analytical framework, and by combining the correlation analysis, partial correlation analysis, and Geodetector model, we quantified the differences in the effects of socioeconomic factors on the relationship at three scales of province, urban agglomeration, and county in China. The results indicate that the influence of socioeconomic factors on RUE ESs can be either enhancing or weakening, depending on the ES types. Moreover, the key socioeconomic factor at different scales also varies. The interaction of socioeconomic factors with urban expansion considerably increases their explanatory power for ESs compared to single factors, suggesting that socioeconomic factors mainly acted on ESs changes indirectly through urban expansion. Moreover, clear administrative boundaries can affect the relationship between socioeconomic development, urban expansion, and ESs. The findings highlight that linking socioeconomic, urban expansion, and ES changes at multiple scales can provide multi-level guidance for landscape management and planning-related sustainable development decisions.
Ignoring the impact of ecosystem service (ES) demand and ES supply-demand relationship (ESSDR) on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may affect the equitable and rational allocation of resources and the SDGs agenda. By coupling multiple models, we find that soil conservation ESSDR has lower coupling coordination with SDGs (especially economic SDGs) than other ESs in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) region. Food production and soil conservation have negative impacts on total SDGs in 73.44 % and 62.5 % of the countries, respectively, while carbon sequestration and water production have positive impacts in 87.5 % and 57.81 % of the countries, respectively. The heterogeneity may either converge or expand over time. The ESSDR has the most significant impact on environmental SDGs, with an explanatory power exceeding 70 % and being time-dependent. The findings emphasize integrating the impacts of ESSDR into the framework of SDGs implementation in the BRI region and globally to prioritize policy actions.
The high land surface temperature (LST) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pose significant threats to urban ecological environment. LST and PM2.5 are closely related, and land use/cover change (LUCC) has a significant influence on them. However, there is a lack of multi-scale analysis of their relationship under the background of LUCC. Therefore, this study designed a multi-scale analysis framework, adopted the Pearson correlation analysis, bivariate Moran's I and coupling coordination degree (D) to examine the relationship between LST and PM2.5 in different land use types based on remote sensing data, and analyzed the influencing factors by Geodetector. The results showed that LST and PM2.5 have a positive correlation, and their correlation would decrease with the research scale expansion, with the absolute values of Moran's I ranging from 0.229 to 0.577, 0.415-0.754 and 0.551-0.852 at national, urban agglomeration and city scales, respectively. LST, PM2.5 and their correlation were lower in forest and water at the three scales, while they were the highest in construction land, and the difference in D values was about 0.3. Furthermore, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and construction land area played the most important role in spatial patterns of this relationship, followed by population and GDP. At last, the cost analysis of environmental pollution reduction was performed, and this study could provide support for proper public health policy-making and environmental protection in different regions.
Understanding the scale transmission of the drivers underlying carbon sequestration and oxygen release (CSOR) is essential for climate change mitigation. However, the regional differences in the global contribution of the drivers remain unknown, limiting the effectiveness of climate policies. Based on the United Nations’ geographical divisions and data from 2000 to 2020, we show that vegetation, evapotranspiration, and temperature are the main contributors to CSOR in more than 70 % of the world and that there are spatial differences in their action direction (facilitating or inhibiting). Drivers show nonlinear effects on CSOR and have different thresholds in different regions. Significant interactions existed among the factors, either superimposed enhancement or mutual offset, depending on the regions. If regional differences in drivers’ global contributions are neglected, attempts to address climate change in various regions may offset each other. Considering both top-down and bottom-up scale transmission can improve the effectiveness of policy objectives.
联合国在2030年可持续发展议程中提出了17个可持续发展目标(SDGs),用于开展相关的评估工作,以便监测和发布世界各国的可持续发展进展情况.为了更好地落实2030年可持续发展议程,中国自2016年至今已创建11个国家可持续发展议程创新示范区.采用评价指标评估这些创新示范区的建设成效,对推动中国的可持续发展具有重要的现实意义.本研究以郴州市示范区为例,围绕其提出的"三个定位"之一的"绿色转型示范区",通过构建评估体系、数据采集、综合评估等,开展郴州市"绿色转型"的成效评估.结果显示,郴州市绿色转型指数自2015年到2020年呈现稳步上升趋势,这表明郴州在产业发展方面没有留下太多的历史欠债,其生态环境质量得以保持在一个较高的水平,结合注重在民生保障方面加大投入,从生态和民生两个方面为郴州市的绿色转型夯实了基础;在推动绿色转型的效果方面,郴州市的对外开放举措作用尤其明显.研究表明,郴州市已探索出一条独具特色的"绿色转型"发展道路,即以"生态优先"为约束条件,推动传统的资源消耗增长动力向资源可持续利用的动力转换.不过,郴州市仍需加大内生创新动力的培育和壮大,推动以对外开放为主导的创新驱动向科技创新为创新驱动的增长方式转变.
Clarifying the spatiotemporal changes and trends of carbon sequestration and oxygen release (COtotal) is crucial for establishing policy objectives aimed at achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. However, extant studies have predominantly focused on carbon sequestration, with limited attention to the concurrent oxygen release resulting from the same ecological processes, particularly on a global scale. Here, we revealed the historical and prospective trajectories of COtotal in global terrestrial ecosystems by coupling multiple methods. Results show that global COtotal mainly increased from 2000 to 2020 and is expected to continue rising in the short term. In parallel, 20.91 % of global regions are anticipated to experience a continued decrease in COtotal in the future, while 11.78 % is projected to shift from shift from increasing to decreasing. Proactive and strategic policy interventions in land use and management are imperative in ameliorating the burgeoning global change quandary.

西藏地处我国西部边境,是我国重要生态安全屏障,同时也是欠发达地区.西藏的发展关系到国家民生和谐、社会稳定、主权完整.城镇化作为协调区域发展的助推器,在西藏的发展中发挥重要作用.在城镇化过程中,西藏的人口、社会、经济方面均有不同幅度的提升,全面完整地评估西藏自治区城镇化过程中人口、社会、经济之间的关系以及城镇化质量对于制定西藏接下来发展战略至关重要.文章采用耦合模型分析了2011~2020年西藏城镇化中"人口-社会-经济"3系统的耦合协调关系.研究发现:虽然在样本期内,"人口-社会-经济"耦合度始终处于高水平耦合阶段.但从耦合协调度来看,西藏"人口-社会-经济"耦合协调度在最高的年份也仅为勉强协调,尚有较大提升空间.进一步研究发现西藏城镇化过程中"人口-社会-经济"高耦合度是由于3个系统发展水平过低导致,西藏城镇化水质量较低,尤其是经济发展水平的落后已经开始限制人口和社会的发展水平.本研究研究结论有助于深化对西藏人口、社会、经济关系的理解,为进一步推动西藏高质量城镇化发展提供了参考依据.
Ongoing, rapid urbanization accompanied by habitat fragmentation and loss poses great threats to biodiversity and the ecosystem. Maintaining ecological networks (ENs) connectivity provides a powerful landscape strategy to confront these ecological consequences. However, for rapid urbanization contexts, the connectivity of ENs cannot be well maintained by the current protection system under the impacts of continuous land expansion. Although the stepping-stones protection offers feasible connectivity-based schemes, the degree of their availability in dynamic land expansion scenarios is unclear. In this study, we developed a static and dynamic coupling approach that emphasized a comprehensive ENs protection system should be incorporated into future land expansion scenarios. The system included landscape defects identification which can be built as stepping-stones outside the traditional ENs establishment framework for ENs connectivity restoration. Taking Southern Jiangsu as the application case, our results showed that there were 127 existing landscape defects covering a total area of 285.00 km2, in the fragmented regional ENs, constituting the group of stepping-stones that can efficiently improve the ENs connectivity. Meanwhile, we confirmed that these stepping-stones were vulnerable although they were included in the protection system, with 70% of the total would be degraded and 13% lost due to the encroachments caused by future land expansion. Therefore, we proposed an alternative scenario that designated stepping-stones as restricted land expansion areas integrated into the comprehensive ENs protection system to maintain their persistent roles in connectivity. This study highlighted the weakness of traditional ENs establishment for rapid urbanization contexts and provided practical contributions to improving the effect of regional ecological protection and restoration.
