“…In a case study with a much smaller area than the one analyzed in this work, Borges et al [60] addressed the carbon storage and sequestration processes due to the LULC changes in the region of La Bonde inside the Massy catchment, in the south of Paris region (France). Although the urbanization process addressed by the authors from the past map of 2015 to the estimated future map of 2025 has also generated negative impacts on carbon stocks, with an estimated SCC of approximately EUR 450,000, there was in this case a concern with minimizing the effects of that process.…”

“…For this indicator, a negative value represents the increased impact of carbon sequestration in combating climate change, while positive values indicate the opposite. In the absence of more objective data for Brazil, this work will adopt −35% for the annual variation in the carbon price, a value that was estimated for the variation in SCC from 2015 to 2020 by the French government and adopted in the study carried out by Borges et al [60].…”

The emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) is a cause for concern when seeking sustainable development in view of global warming. The multiple ecosystem services associated with land use and land cover are at the center of the global climate agenda, both as a mitigation and adaptation strategy to climate change and growing urbanization. Among these services is carbon storage and sequestration (CSS). It can remove GHG carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the form of organic matter, a natural carbon stock. Thus, to design projects that guarantee sustainable development, it is necessary to use metrics that can quantify the impact of sequestration on natural carbon stocks. We aimed to implement the InVEST CSS methodology in the region of Itaperuna-RJ (Brazil) to quantify the net change in carbon storage over time (sequestration and loss) between 2015 and 2020. The obtained total difference in carbon stocks between the analyzed maps was −39,103.56 × 103 kg C, which has an equivalent social cost of carbon of USD 16,559,187.69. This social value represents the social damage caused by releasing that amount of carbon into the atmosphere. This main result brings an important application for validating the InVEST CSS methodology in Brazil. Furthermore, it points out parameters that can help elaborate sustainable development policies.

“…Considering the differences of vegetation composition and structure and management mode in urban green space between Chinese cities and European cities, the appropriate parameters were selected. The carbon densities of the four carbon pools in various land cover types of Chinese cities and European cities were derived from the previous literature by considering the characteristics of our land cover categories [43][44][45][46]. The carbon densities used in this study are detailed in Table A1.…”

Urban expansion and ecological restoration policies can simultaneously affect land-cover changes and further affect ecosystem services (ES). However, it is unclear whether and to what extent the distribution and equity of urban ES are influenced by the stage of urban development and government policies. This study aims to assess the quantity and equity of ES under different scenarios in cites of China and Europe. Firstly, we used the Conversion of Land Use and its Effects at Small regional extent (CLUE-S) model to simulate future land cover under three scenarios: business-as-usual (BAU), a market-liberal scenario (MLS), and an ecological protection scenario (EPS). Then using ecosystem service model approaches and the landscape analysis, the dynamics of green infrastructure (GI) fraction and connectivity, carbon sequestration, and PM2.5 removal were further evaluated. The results show that: (1) over the past 20 years, Chinese cities have experienced dramatic changes in land cover and ES relative to European cities. (2) Two metropolises in China, Shanghai and Beijing have experienced an increase in the fraction and connectivity of GI and ES in the long-term built-up areas between 2010 and 2020. (3) EPS scenarios are not only effective in increasing the quantity of ES but also in improving the equity of ES distribution. The proposed framework as well as the results may provide important guidance for future urban planning and sustainable city development.

“…A expansão e o desenvolvimento desordenado nas zonas urbanas contribuíram com consideráveis prejuízos para a qualidade de vida da população (Borges et al, 2020). Ao longo dos séculos, é possível verificar a relação entre o desenvolvimento das cidades e as principais redes de infraestrutura urbana (Chen et al, 2015;Qin et al, 2014).…”

“…Uma vez que há deficiência na infraestrutura urbana, a renda e a qualidade de vida das pessoas atingidas são consequentemente reduzidas. Sendo assim, a designação de uma rede de infraestrutura eficiente torna-se uma solução fundamental para a adaptação do ecossistema aos desafios relacionados às mudanças globais, incluindo as mudanças climáticas, crescimento populacional e desenvolvimento socioeconômico (Borges et al, 2020;De Los Ríos-White et al, 2020;Kordana & Słyś, 2020;Mendes et al, 2020;Sarabi et al, 2019).…”

O crescimento rápido das médias e grandes cidades brasileiras nas últimas décadas vem intensificando o processo de adensamento e uma das consequências é a ocupação indevida das áreas das bacias hidrográficas urbanas. Este artigo tem como objetivo o diagnóstico urbano de uma sub-bacia de contribuição em Itaperuna, um município de uma área semi-urbanizada de 1.105,341 km² no Noroeste do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A metodologia fundamentou-se na avaliação da sub-bacia segundo os critérios de infraestrutura (pavimentação e drenagem), social (densidade populacional e habitacional) e ambiental (ocorrência de inundações) com base no levantamento cadastral de campo e análise de banco de dados da rede de infraestrutura urbana. Os resultados apontaram que a sub-bacia apresentou um sistema de infraestrutura deficiente no que se refere à pavimentação e drenagem das vias urbanas, além da conservação e preservação do curso de água existente. A partir do diagnóstico apresentado, espera-se que este estudo contribua adicionalmente como uma ferramenta para tomada de decisão do poder público pertinente, levando em consideração estudos e prerrogativas técnicas fundamentais para a implantação de um sistema de drenagem urbana eficaz, garantindo o bem-estar da população residente na região.
