“…Multidimensional climate management is the key to the commitment of sub-national levels to achieve their respective national and international goals. An efficient cooperation among the various levels of government should be enhanced in order to better encourage and support local ingenuity (Pietrapertosa et al, 2021). When it comes to pursuing sustainable growth strategies, islands experience particular problems.…”

Inherited system features and challenges that can hinder urban planning initiatives must be taken into consideration before a path towards a sustainable future can be established. By putting the lock-in effect under scrutiny, it is possible to gain valuable insight to emphasize positive lock-ins and to prevent maladaptation and unsustainable solutions. This paper aims to review the current trends of urban studies regarding sustainability, resilience, and the lock-in effect, focusing on both hot topics and mutual integration by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR protocol) and analyzing the top-cited articles on these topics from 2015 to 2021 in the Web of Science database. Based on the revised literature, the potential lock-ins of climate-friendly and sustainable urban development are not adequately discussed. Moreover, while urban sustainability and resilience are often treated as overlapping areas, there is a lack of publications that carefully examine their interlinked long-term perspectives for any hindering effects.

“…Such alarming level of CO 2 concentration in atmosphere lead to adverse climate issues and harmful acidification of oceans 13,14 . To circumvent this issue, various global leaders such as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as well as the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21, Paris, 2015) put emphasis on the urgency of mitigating CO 2 emissions to at least half of its present value before 2050 to prevent the global average temperature rise to 2°C at maximum 15 . In addition, with increase in energy demand, the energy consumption/hour at global scale is anticipated to touch 1.1 × 10 21 J by 2050, nearly 80% more what can be achieved using fossil fuel resources 16 .…”

Summary The conversion of CO2 to value‐added chemicals and solar fuels is a “two birds, one stone” strategy addressing two major challenges, global warming and energy crises, simultaneously. Conventionally, several approaches such as electrochemical, biochemical, and photochemical have been deployed to reduce anthropogenic CO2. However, the thermodynamic and kinetic limitations in these approaches prompted the researchers to develop more efficient CO2 utilization methods such as solar thermochemical CO2 reduction. Nevertheless, a lack of an understanding of the state‐of‐the‐art progress in CO2 utilization motivated us to present a timely comprehensive review. Herein, we summarize the traditional thermochemical‐, state‐of‐the‐art thermocatalytic, and solar thermochemical CO2 conversion with a detailed discussion of the working principles, modern techniques used, and mechanistic insights. Moreover, considering the kinetic and thermodynamic perspectives, the choice of catalysts and reaction conditions to selectively produced chemicals such as methanol, formic acid, dimethyl ether, and hydrocarbons, have been discussed. Lastly, we have highlighted the challenges and future trends for ameliorating the CO2 conversion efficiency and commercial‐scale CO2‐based solar fuel synthesis. Therefore, this review would be of substantial importance to the students and researchers to understand the CO2 conversion mechanism and to facilitate the breakthrough progress for scientific and industrial advances in carbon capture and utilization.
