“…The present study's findings revealed that increasing soil carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems has enormous potential as a mitigation strategy for climate change in Bangladesh. Our findings are supported by several studies [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] that reported that carbon management through absorbing atmospheric CO2 by agricultural and forest land could increase the climate change mitigation potential while increasing the carbon stock. Therefore, the negative effects of global warming and climate change on the environment and human health [37][38][39][40] can be reduced by lowering emissions through practicing and encouraging appropriate agroforestry systems.…”

The study was carried out in three different locations in Dinajpur district, Bangladesh，to observe soil carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems as a mitigation strategy for climate change. A total of 108 composite soil samples were collected at 0-30 cm in different study area sites. The total number of samples comprised three agroforestry systems (cropland agroforestry, homestead agroforestry, and orchard agroforestry)， where 36 samples were collected from each agroforestry system. Three adjacent soil samples were collected from each agroforestry system and mixed to get composite soil samples. The outcomes revealed that the soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic matter (SOM) changes over the age of the orchard. Moreover, the results indicated that there are significant differences among the systems. The highest SOC (1.60%) was found in Eucalyptus woodlot-based agroforestry system，and the lowest SOC (0.29%) was found in the Mahogany woodlot-based agroforestry system although both organic carbon and organic matter are deficient compared to the optimum level. Furthermore, in the case of soil pH, the highest value (5.45) was recorded under the Mango tree，while the lowest value (5.12) was recorded under the Mahogany tree. Based on the findings, the study determined that all the collected samples were acidic. The investigation concluded that most species of homestead agroforestry systems provide maximum SOC and SOM as compared to cropland and orchard. The present study provides significant recommendations for soil carbon enrichment and environmental safety practices in the agroforestry systems to mitigate climate change through soil carbon management.

China is the largest CO 2 emitter in the world and announced that carbon peak and neutral targets will be achieved before 2030 and 2060, respectively. A retrospective analysis of past CO 2 emissions and their drivers is important for the actions of peaking CO 2 emissions before 2030 in China. CO 2 emissions from energy use (coal, oil, and natural gas) and cement production from 2000 to 2020 were calculated first, and their drivers were decomposed into economic and population growth, energy intensity, and emission coefficient by logarithmic mean Divisa index (LMDI) analysis in this study. China’s CO 2 emissions increased nearly threefold from 3385 in 2000 to 10,788 million tonnes (Mt) in 2020, with a decline from 2013 to 2016. Coal was the major emission sector contributing more than 70% in most years, while natural gas emissions increased nearly 13 times from 53 to 723 Mt in the two decades, although its contribution only accounted for 6.7% in 2020. Economic growth was the major positive driver, while energy intensity reduction was the major negative driver of the emission increments by year and by the Five Year Plan (FYP). Emission coefficient reduction gradually became important due to its negative effect, especially in the 13th FYP, which offset ~ 30% of the emissions induced by economic growth. The projections of CO 2 emissions in 2025, 2030, and 2035 could be 11,596 ± 582, 11,774 ± 621, and 11,401 ± 672 Mt, respectively, suggesting that China’s carbon emissions could peak around 2030 with an increment of ~ 1000 Mt on the 2020 levels. Under the sustainable growth of the economy and population, it is possible to reduce the carbon peak value or achieve peak time earlier through the additional reduction of energy intensity and emission coefficient by technological progress and energy alternatives such as non-fossil fuels.

“…The specimens were prepared using 50 × 50 × 50 mm 3 cubes. The SHC was determined following the electro-calorimetry method [ 7 ]. Before curing, two holes for both immersion heater (2000 W and 220–250 V capacity) and thermometer were made at 2/3 depth on the concrete samples using a 9 mm drilling bit.…”
