CGI 2023 provides a unique opportunity for scientists themselves to highlight the depth of their knowledge on the complex issues pertaining to climate change and make meaningful connections with this influential audience that will change outcomes. We hope you find inspiration for talks and speakers here.
Salt-Tolerant Crops: Time to Deliver
doi: 10.1146/annurev-arplant-061422-104322
"We must close the gap between research and delivery, especially for farmers who have precious few alternatives. Excitingly, future crops can be produced via domestication of salt-tolerant wild species—an approach that is now feasible in our lifetime."
Biomineralized Materials for Sustainable and Durable Construction
doi: 10.1146/annurev-matsci-081720-105303
"Portland cement concrete, the most used manufactured material in the world, is a significant contributor to anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions."
Sustainable Cooling in a Warming World: Technologies, Cultures, and Circularity
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-120420-085027
"Cooling is fundamental to quality of life in a warming world, but its growth trajectory is leading to a substantial increase in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions."
Barriers and Enablers for Integrating Public Health Cobenefits in Urban Climate Policy
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-052020-010820
"There are multiple ways of tackling climate change (CC) mitigation and adaptation in cities, all are welcome. Some pathways, however, may generate benefits beyond CC or act synergistically to prevent or protect against some of the detrimental impacts of CC. For example: Health."
Anxiety, Worry, and Grief in a Time of Environmental and Climate Crisis: A Narrative Review
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-012220-022716
"Is there a constructive role for worry—for example, in the form of providing motivation to act?'
Sustainable and Resilient Health Care in the Face of a Changing Climate
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071421-051937
"Climate change is a threat multiplier, exacerbating underlying vulnerabilities, worsening human health, and disrupting health systems’ abilities to deliver high-quality continuous care."
Climatic and Environmental Change, Migration, and Health
doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-071421-045148
"Anyone who is on the move in a warming world needs accessible, affordable, and effective health care services. This is a more inclusive definition of human need than the term climate refugee."
Three Faces of Climate Justice
doi: 10.1146/annurev-polisci-051120-125514
"Climate justice requires paying careful attention to who bears the costs and who gets the benefits of both climate inaction and action."
Emerging Threats to Human Health from Global Environmental Change
doi: 10.1146/annurev.environ.033108.102650
"These threats include increasing exposure to infectious disease, water scarcity, food scarcity, natural disasters, and population displacement."
Psychology of Climate Change
doi: 10.1146/annurev-psych-032720-042905
Includes "how to motivate climate actions among people who do not strongly care about nature, the environment, and climate change."
Why People Do What They Do: An Interdisciplinary Synthesis of Human Action Theories
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-020422-125351
"Understanding human action is recognized as essential for addressing today's linked social, ecological, and climate crises."
Harnessing the Power of Communication and Behavior Science to Enhance Society's Response to Climate Change
doi: 10.1146/annurev-earth-031621-114417
In the spirit of Albert Einstein’s recommendation: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."
From Low- to Net-Zero Carbon Cities: The Next Global Agenda
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-050120-113117
"Net-zero carbon cities are starting to happen. Cities are the main source of economic growth, innovation, and opportunities for many of the future populations on Earth. Cities must therefore lead the world into this new and exciting opportunity".
Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven't We Bent the Global Emissions Curve?
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-012220-011104
"Despite three decades of political efforts and a wealth of research on the causes and catastrophic impacts of climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions have continued to rise.What's the common thread that emerges across all the different contributing factors?
Power".
Climate Change and Food Systems
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-020411-130608
"Climate change will affect agricultural yields and earnings, food prices, reliability of delivery, food quality, and, notably, food safety".
The Great Intergenerational Robbery: A Call for Concerted Action Against Environmental Crises
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-061322-013248
"The urgency to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss requires all hands on deck".
Meat Consumption and Sustainability
doi: 10.1146/annurev-resource-111820-032340
"If all humans consumed as much meat as Europeans or North Americans, we would certainly miss the international climate targets and many ecosystems would collapse".
Urban Climates and Climate Change
doi: 10.1146/annurev-environ-012320-083623
"City administrations are a key actor for implementing solutions and urban inhabitants, and local governments are essential actors in contributing to the global agenda on cities and climate change".
