The present study aimed to develop a practical and scientific framework based on hazard, vulnerability (social, economic, and environmental), and coping capacity to generate a drought risk map for the hot and dry climate regions of Iran. Accordingly, the Drought Hazard Index (DHI), Drought Vulnerability Index (DVI), and Drought Coping Capacity Index (DCCI) were derived from “the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)”, “16 social, economic and environmental variables” and “three social, economic variables”, respectively. The layers of all variables of the three indices in the GIS were provided, and they were combined in the form of an equation to produce a drought hazard map of central and southeastern Iran. The results indicate that the counties most and least vulnerable to drought were located in the southeast and west of the case study area, respectively. A number of large households, long distances from provincial centers, and soil erosion were the most important social, economic, and environmental factors making the southeast of the case study (including south of Sistan and Baluchestan and south of Kerman provinces) most vulnerable to drought. Due to their high drought coping capacity, counties located in the west of the case study (west of Kerman and south of Yazd provinces) were least vulnerable to drought. Extended support for low-income households by charitable organizations, tertiary education, and most importantly, a variety of jobs and career opportunities were the most important factors in reducing vulnerability in this part of Iran. Furthermore, our methodology by taking social, economic, and environmental dimensions into account as risk, vulnerability, and coping capacity indices can be far more efficient than the methods considering only risk and vulnerability factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101077"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid desiccation of massive wetlands, which are essential for controlling water cycles, and biodiversity, preventing floods, and supplying essential ecosystem services, is one of the most upsetting effects. The once-largest lake in the Middle East, Lake Urmia, had a significant impact on ecology, economy, and human life contributing to climate regulation, species preservation, habitat conservation, tourism and recreation, and a wide range of other ecosystem services. The Ramsar Convention classified the lake as a Wetland of International Importance, and UNESCO designated it as a Biosphere Reserve. The ecological, agricultural, and societal challenges caused by rising temperatures, improper water resource management and overuse, enhanced salinity, and declining water levels have made Lake Urmia an acute symbol of environmental vulnerability. Using Landsat imagery, this study begins a thorough analysis of changes in the Lake Urmia basin from 1990 to 2020. The endeavor aims to develop effective conservation and restoration strategies by identifying the multiple reasons that led to its vulnerable situation. The study attempts to identify the role of precipitation, temperature trends, agricultural development, population growth, water consumption, evapotranspiration, and atmospheric salt and aerosol concentrations in the desiccation of the lake. This study presents a comprehensive knowledge of the complex interplay between climate change, human activity, and water management and may have implications for the holistic recovery of the lake. The findings have the potential to improve prognostic models and inform targeted mitigation strategies for not only Lake Urmia but also for other globally threatened wetlands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101084"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trade bans of natural resources often conflict with poverty alleviation and can stimulate illegal trade. Understanding markets, prices and profitability along both legal and illegal trade chains is crucial if appropriate regulatory mechanisms are to be implemented. Using the legal extraction of sea turtle eggs from Ostional, we used a mixed-methods approach to analyse the legal domestic supply chain. We used semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and data on the volume and destinations of egg sales to conduct a value chain analysis. We found an inequitable distribution of revenue along the legal supply chain, with middlemen profiting the most. Geographical barriers to trade flows and competition with illegal trade meant higher profits were achieved by sending the largest volume of the furthest distance. However, this increased the vulnerability of local traders to fluctuations in supply. Comparing legal and illegal trade routes, we identified potential laundering hotspots on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Illegal eggs were cheaper than legal eggs available from Ostional. However, given the volume of Ostional eggs supplying the Caribbean and the fragility of local trader livelihoods, we advise caution in altering any management plan that could impact supply to this region, fearing a dwindling supply of legal eggs may stimulate illegal extraction in the Caribbean. Our research is directly relevant to the policies of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, Convention on Biological Diversity and UN Sustainable Development Goals as our research enhances our understanding of how natural resource use can help alleviate poverty, improve local livelihoods and inform policy regarding wildlife laundering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101069"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142572951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mining-induced subsidence may cause irreversible damage to the surrounding environment of vegetation growth. Meanwhile, with the worsening of global warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme water-related weather events, such as droughts and excessive rainfall, are on the rise, which leads to heightened impacts on ecosystems and agricultural production. Consequently, extreme water-related weather, the distribution of land subsidence, and its effect on vegetation have attracted significant attention. Based on the Sentinel-1 radar data and Sentinel-2 multispectral data from 2017 to 2022, the SBAS-InSAR technology, the object-oriented classification, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were employed respectively in the study to obtain the spatial-temporal evolution of land subsidence, subsidence-induced water, and crop growth in Tiefa mining area, a representative coal mining area in Northeast China. Moreover, the relationship between land subsidence, subsidence-induced water, and vegetation change was analyzed combined with summer precipitation data. The results showed that: (1) The average cumulative subsidence of the mining area was 256.8 mm, and the subsidence area was 42.525 km<sup>2</sup> for the six years. Among them, the heaviest subsidence reached a maximum of 380.5 mm in 2022, and the largest subsidence area was 20.109 km<sup>2</sup> in 2017. (2) When the rainfall was excessive, the area of subsidence-induced water would increase sharply, with a proportion jumping to 9.71% from 5.37%, which indicated the subsidence would further amplify the destructive effect of excessive rainfall and waterlogging on land resources. (3) In addition to the existing water pits, ground cracks and shallow subsidence pits appeared under the influence of underground coal mining. The direct impact of ground cracks on crops was not apparent, while the effect of subsidence pits on crops under different rainfall conditions was dual character. In dry years, crops in the subsidence pits could grow better due to higher soil moisture. In wet years, crops in the subsidence pits would suffer the more severe waterlogging.

Urban slum areas within these regions, particularly, have been reported to face unique challenges in SWM due to a combination of factors, including the low socio-economic status of residents, high population density, inadequate infrastructure, and a thriving informal economy. Despite these critical concerns, most SWM research in Nepal has concentrated on major cities and tourist hotspots. As a result, the condition of SWM in urban slum areas, typically found along the banks of major rivers in Nepal, remains a critical yet neglected aspect in research and policy discussions. This study, therefore, aims to evaluate SWM in the densely populated urban slum areas situated along the Bagmati River, a key river system in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Four major slum locations within the central metropolitan area of Kathmandu—Sinamangal, Thapathali, Teku, and Balkhu—were selected for the study, and systematic random sampling and characterization of household solid waste was conducted. The results reveal that the average household solid waste generation rates in the four study sites were 155.32 g capita<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, 124.69 g capita<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, 149.9 g capita<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, and 218.44 g capita<sup>−1</sup> d<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Organic wastes was the most prevalent type, comprising 63.34% of the total waste, followed by paper and paper products (13.72%), plastics (12.15%), dirt and construction debris (5.57%), glass (4.31%), and other wastes (0.91%). Qualitative data from the survey revealed that although municipal waste management programs exist, awareness and participation among residents were limited. As a result, many households ended up managing their waste on their own, often in an unscientific manner polluting the river water in the vicinity. The study offers critical insights for policymakers, operators, and regulators in addressing the growing challenges of SWM. Findings are expected to aid in the sustainable management of solid waste along the river basin in central urban regions of the capital city. Under Nepal's new federal governance system, provincial and local governments are recommended to collaborate with all stakeholders, including households, to develop comprehensive, multimodal SWM strategies that also address the needs of slum areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101079"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
