Despite a rapid increase in scientific efforts in recent years, our understanding of the characteristics, distribution and environmental consequences of plastic pollution remains incomplete, with many aspects still under debate. This knowledge gap hinders the development and implementation of effective management strategies. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive synthesis of plastic pollution from understanding it to combatting it, linking the environmental behavior of plastics with their ecological, health and Earth-system risks. We further discuss mitigation and management strategies across the plastics life cycle. These strategies emphasize upstream prevention through redesign for minimizing production and facilitating reuse, supplemented by measures such as recycling and the implementation of biodegradable and compostable plastics, as well as exposure risk management. We also identify key challenges to address the interlinked triple crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution associated with plastics. The priorities and solutions to end plastic pollution include promoting sustainable production and consumption, minimizing plastic waste and leakage, mitigating plastic pollution and damage, and safeguarding planetary health.","PeriodicalId":18842,"journal":{"name":"National Science Review","volume":"13 19","pages":"nwag582"},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13637611/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149112377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the fully coupled HadCM3BL-M2.1aD palaeoclimate model, we examine EASM evolution over the past 145 Myr across three independent palaeogeographies (Getech, Scotese and Robertsons). While all simulations capture broad hydrological trends, they diverge markedly in the timing and intensity of monsoon development. The Cenozoic strengthening of the EASM aligns with Tibetan and regional mountain orogeny, but Cretaceous behaviour reflects strong remote teleconnections driven by continental configuration. These results demonstrate that Asian monsoon systems are sensitive not only to local orography but also to global palaeogeographic context due to the impact of teleconnections on the EASM. Constraining such uncertainties is essential for resolving the monsoon's long-term evolution and climatic influence.","PeriodicalId":18842,"journal":{"name":"National Science Review","volume":"13 17","pages":"nwag534"},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13613981/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149062764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show a spatially explicit global estimate of rice CH4 emissions from 1961 to 2020, leveraging a new high-resolution dataset and two Tier 3 modeling approaches (process-based and machine-learning-based). We find that global emissions have more than tripled over the past six decades, reaching a record high of 38.8 Tg CH4 yr-1 in 2020 based on the mean of the two Tier 3 estimates, with both the rate and magnitude substantially higher than those of conventional emission-factor-based inventories. Traditional rice-producing regions (e.g. Asia) dominate the increase due to expanded cultivation and intensified organic inputs, while Africa emerged as a rapidly growing source. Beyond trends in absolute emissions, the CH4 emission intensity (per unit of rice production) declined across 70% of the global paddy area, mainly reflecting yield-driven efficiency gains. Notably, 44% of global rice production in the 2010s occurred in countries with below-average emission intensity, with China being the largest contributor. By resolving long-term spatial heterogeneity with new data and models, this study provides a robust reassessment of the global rice methane budget and highlights pathways to reconcile food production with climate mitigation.","PeriodicalId":18842,"journal":{"name":"National Science Review","volume":"13 19","pages":"nwag555"},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13637625/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149112362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
