Carbon Brief reviews the most closely watched climate articles in 2021
one In first place was the heat-related death burden due to recent man-made climate change (The Burden of Heat-related Mortality Attributable to Recent Human-induced Climate Change) published in Natural Climate change (Nature Climate Change), with an Altmetric score of 5715. Researchers from the University of Bern in Switzerland (University of Bern) and the University of Emory (Emory University) in the United States collected data from 732 locations in 43 countries from 1991 to 2018 to investigate the effects of high temperature on human mortality. The study found that 37% of heat-related deaths can be attributed to man-made climate change. The study was mentioned in 865 online news, 69 blog posts and 1286 tweets, covering the Guardian, the New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Times, the London Evening Standard, the Independent, Bloomberg and the Associated Press.

Rodents take nature away, how do we get it back?
About 1000 years ago, the island where New Zealand is located is still a wild land. Birds, reptiles and invertebrates still thrive in this dense forest hundreds of kilometers away from other continents. But in the 13th century, when the Maori migrated to New Zealand, they also brought Polynesian rats (Polynesian rats) as food. Since then, humans and rodents have begun to change the ecological balance of New Zealand, while native species have begun to become extinct.

Biden Administration issues Roadmap for Climate adaptation economy
one ? 1? Core principles for dealing with climate-related financial risks The current system of assessing economic and financial risks has enabled the United States economy to grow and prosper, achieving technological progress and improving the quality of life. However, rapidly accumulating risks are leading the United States into an unpredictable future, so the US government must work with state, local and tribal governments, independent regulators, advocacy organizations, trade unions, financial institutions and companies to blaze a new path. The US government should follow the following climate risk accountability framework principles in dealing with climate-related financial risks:

Without this barrier in the brain, people might die, and now scientists have decided to open it.
Neurons in the human brain are very fragile and need to be protected by a stable blood-brain barrier. Usually, it is a variety of diseases that open the barrier, and in order to treat these and more diseases, scientists decide to open it themselves.

IGES Comparative study on the Development of low-carbon cities in China, Japan and South Korea
1 carbon dioxide emission trend and policy framework for low-carbon development (1) carbon dioxide emission trend. In 2019, China, Japan and South Korea accounted for more than 33% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and their per capita carbon emissions were all higher than the world average. 1 China's carbon dioxide emissions are the highest among the three countries. According to the emission reduction targets set in China's National Climate change Plan (2014-2020) and the 13th five-year Plan (2016-2020), by 2019, China's carbon emission intensity has decreased by 18.2% compared with 2015 and 48.1% compared with 2005, and the 2020 carbon emission intensity reduction target has been overfulfilled ahead of schedule. From 1990 to 2019, Japan's carbon dioxide emissions showed a gradual increase-slow decline trend, reaching a peak in 2013. Since 2014, Japan's carbon dioxide emissions have shown a continuous downward trend, which is mainly related to the reduction of energy consumption in Japan's manufacturing industry and the widespread use of renewable energy and low-carbon electricity. Except during the Asian financial crisis, carbon dioxide in South Korea showed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2019. Compared with 1990, South Korea's per capita emissions increased by more than 2.5 times in 2017, higher than in China and Japan over the same period. Through the improvement of energy efficiency and the transformation of low-carbon energy, South Korea's carbon intensity fell by 27% in 2017 compared with 1990. All three countries have set national independent contribution targets in accordance with the Paris Agreement, promising to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 (Japan and South Korea) and 2060 (China).
