“…Moreover, the advantage of this approach is the ease with which it can be replicated in other spatial contexts, through the definition of local proxies. These must be based on available information layers, usually held by the local government, or which can be obtained from satellite data [3].…”

“…Furthermore, agriculture and farming practices, typical of rural areas, are recognised as very relevant factors in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and therefore, a direct cause of climate change itself. Considering this situation, it becomes fundamental that rural territories act on a double front: mitigation (a), through the reduction of the CO 2 produced and the consequent storage and sequestration connected to agricultural practices, and adaptation (b), related to the effects of climate change in relation to flooding [3].…”

This paper aims to analyse the issue of mitigation and the balance of greenhouse gases in the rural contexts of the Emilia–Romagna region (Italy) due to climate change. The approach is based on the experimentation of a methodology, populated by available spatial databases and refined with a series of technical meetings, where it was possible to weigh availability and alternative choices within the identified assessment model. The objective of the research is to create a regional GHG balance map, in order to classify the territory for this specific dynamic. The aim of this approach is supporting policy decisions related to the Common Agricultural Policy at a regional level.

The field of urban agriculture has seen an increase in development and attention in recent years, with a large share of literature addressing whether urban agriculture may pose a solution for food insecurity and combat environmental impacts. However, few studies have examined the many sustainability claims of urban agriculture systems, especially for urban farms intended for larger output and commercial ends. In this study, we analyze sustainability assessments of urban agriculture for commercial implementation. We do this by exploring the methods employed for conducting sustainability analyses, outlining the different urban agriculture cultivation systems, analyzing which sustainability aspects are considered, looking into what the sustainability analyses conclude, and studying how authors anticipate the knowledge gained from their sustainability assessments can be used. Environmental aspects of sustainability were more often assessed than other sustainability aspects, and LCA research practice was used for the majority of environmental assessments. Some studies compared the environmental benefits of different types of urban agriculture systems, but this was not conclusive overall as to what systems would be more environmentally beneficial. This suggests that urban agriculture’s sustainability cannot be universally categorized but should be assessed in relation to specific environmental conditions and urban contexts. Future research should aim to develop more nuanced frameworks for evaluating the environmental, social, economic and governance impacts of urban agriculture.

Local climates are responding to global warming differently, and the changes in rainstorms in mountainous areas of Southwest China are of particular interest. This study, using monthly NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and daily precipitation observation of 90 meteorological stations from 1961 to 2021, analyzed the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of rainstorms and floods in Southwest China and their relationship with atmospheric circulations. The results led us to the following five conclusions: (1) Rainstorms and floods in southwest China mainly occur from June to August, during which time July has the most weather events, followed by August. (2) The southwest of Guizhou province, the southern edge of Yunnan province, and regions from the east of the Sichuan Basin to the north of Guizhou have experienced more rainstorms and floods, while the northwest regions of Southwest China have had fewer. (3) Over the last 61 years, rainstorms and floods have exhibited an overall rising trend, especially in the last 10 years. The year 2012 was an abrupt inflection point in rainstorms and floods in Southwest China, from low to high frequency, while the correlation coefficient between rainstorms and floods and the global surface temperature is above the 95% significance level. (4) Rainstorms and floods exhibit changes at periods of 8 years, 16 years, and 31 years. (5) Rainstorms and floods show a good correlation with multiple variables, such as South Asian high-pressure systems west of 90°E, the upper trough front, the northwest side of the western Pacific subtropical high, and the convergence of warm and wet air in the middle and lower layers with cold air on the ground.
