Abstract

When it comes to mitigating climate change, the focus tends towards carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, human-induced emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) are important contributors to global warming. These include methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorinated greenhouse gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) and ozone depleting substances. Other non-CO2 emissions, such as aerosols (e.g. black carbon (BC)) and pollutants that function as aerosol or GHG precursors, contribute to changes in the atmosphere’s energy balance. This editorial overview introduces a Special Issue (SI) of Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences that includes contributions from the 8 Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Symposium (NCGG8), which took place in Amsterdam, June 10–15, 2019. NCGG8 covered recent scientific advancements in understanding non-CO2 sources, climate implications and mitigation challenges. The articles in this special issue highlight some of outcomes of these discussions.
非二氧化碳温室气体:气候挑战中未被充分代表的复杂一面
当谈到减缓气候变化时,重点往往是二氧化碳(CO2)的排放。然而,人为排放的非二氧化碳温室气体(ghg)是全球变暖的重要原因。其中包括甲烷(CH4)、氧化亚氮(N2O)、含氟温室气体(氢氟碳化物、全氟碳化物和SF6)和消耗臭氧物质。其他非二氧化碳排放,如气溶胶(如黑碳)和作为气溶胶或温室气体前体的污染物,有助于改变大气的能量平衡。本社论概述介绍了《综合环境科学杂志》的特刊(SI),其中包括2019年6月10日至15日在阿姆斯特丹举行的8届非二氧化碳温室气体研讨会(NCGG8)的贡献。NCGG8介绍了在了解非二氧化碳源、气候影响和缓解挑战方面的最新科学进展。本期特刊的文章重点介绍了这些讨论的一些成果。

期刊介绍: Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences (JIES) provides a stimulating, informative and critical forum for intellectual debate on significant environmental issues. It brings together perspectives from a wide range of disciplines and methodologies in both the social and natural sciences in an effort to develop integrative knowledge about the processes responsible for environmental change. The Journal is especially concerned with the relationships between science, society and policy and one of its key aims is to advance understanding of the theory and practice of sustainable development.
