Portsmouth Study Exposes Green Intent-Action Gap in Sustainable Tourism Practices

Tourists who care deeply about sustainability are not necessarily willing to pay extra to reduce the environmental impact of their holidays, according to new research from the University of Portsmouth.

Expanded Coastal Restoration Generates up to Three Billion Dollars Annual Carbon Sequestration

Coastal blue carbon ecosystems--mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses--store carbon and protect shorelines, but conservation often lags behind rapid coastal change. This study introduces a dual-constraint spatial planning framework that couples habitat suitability with land-sea anthropogenic pressures to identify where these ecosystems can persist, expand, or be restored. Applying it across China's 18,000-km coastline, researchers integrated 60 environmental variables and 13 pressure indicators to map potential suitable distribution areas and optimize protection priorities. The framework reveals a proactive blue carbon expansion capacity 7 to 24 times larger than current extents. It also shows that existing reserves cover only about 20% of high-priority zones, leaving most target areas dependent on active restoration.

Study Models How Climate Disinformation Degrades Carbon Pricing Policy Efficacy

Climate policy models usually assume people hold accurate beliefs about climate damages. A new study builds disinformation into a climate-economy model and finds that informed democratic majorities can deliver stronger carbon taxes than a politically constrained planner, but this advantage collapses abruptly once disinformation tips the majority. Late and persistent disinformation yields the most severe warming, while counter-disinformation efforts can largely restore effective policy.

Global Marine Mapping Identifies Vast Potential Area for Scalable Carbon Sequestration

Seaweed aquaculture is a nature-based climate solution. Macroalgae contribute roughly 1.5 petagrams of carbon (PgC) to global annual net primary production, and farm sediments can bury about 1.87 ± 0.73 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per hectare per year—about twice the rate of adjacent non-farmed areas.
