Our findings show that water bodies sensitive to seasonal climate changes need strategic management. For NbS planning, prioritizing highly populated areas with low ES access, and deprioritizing sparsely populated areas with limited accessibility due to lower demand, promotes efficient and equitable ES distribution. Considering both the contribution and sensitivity of ESs in terms of supply and demand leads to optimized NbS allocations, maximizing benefits.

We collected SPM-PM<sub>2.5</sub> (physically excluded PM<sub>2.5</sub> from SPM) and PM<sub>2.5</sub> samples in Yonago City, a coastal urban area in Tottori Prefecture, Japan, from 19 October 2015 to 25 July 2016 using a novel slit jet impactor (MCAS-SJ). Positive matrix factorization analysis used heavy metal, ion, and carbon concentrations to identify pollutant sources. This study identified four major air pollution events during the sampling period, primarily attributed to transboundary transport. Episode I was dominated by nitric aerosols, Episodes II and III by Asian dust, and Episode IV by sulfate aerosols. An analysis using global chemical transport models and backward trajectories confirmed that these events verified the contribution of transboundary pollution. In conclusion, identifying the impact of transboundary pollution on local air quality enables an accurate risk assessment of populations.

Urban tourism is particularly vulnerable due to the additive effect of the urban heat islands which exacerbate heat-related risk in cities. This research aims to examine the spatio-temporal variation of thermal conditions at Seville, a popular tourist destination in Spain, where the tourism sector represents 25 % of the gross domestic product. To this end, the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and Landsat 8 images have been used, corresponding to August 2017, when the city experienced two heat waves and decreased number of visitors. Our results showed high variability of the UTCI between 28 and 39 °C corresponding to strong thermal stress that increased in the afternoon hours. During heat waves, this variability intensified by 9.77 %, reaching values between 32 and 42 °C corresponding to very strong thermal stress. Our findings show that adverse thermal conditions negatively affect tourist arrivals, which could lead to significant economic repercussions. Also, our results point to the urgent need for mitigation and resilience measures including the use of Blue Infrastructure (BI), new green areas, naturalizing streets, and use of green facades and roofs.
