“…Although these megacities share similar historical significance, they belong to different countries and sub-regions, providing good opportunities to exploring their similarities and differences during urban expansion. In addition, since the launch of the B&R Initiative in 2013, this region has attracted wide interest, especially regarding sustainable regional development, environmental carrying capacity, and energy conservation and allocation (Duan et al 2018;Guo et al 2018;Liu and Hao 2018;Li, Huang, and Tian 2019). Results of this work could be used as a basis for estimating future urbanization trajectories of the B&R region and designing suitable urban planning strategies.…”

The Belt and Road (B&R) region, a vital area with historical, economic, cultural and political significance, has undergone rapid urbanization in the past several decades, especially in the form of urban expansion. In this study, 20 megacities in the B&R region were selected to explore different spatiotemporal patterns of urban expansion. Object-oriented support vector machines (SVM), annual growth rate (AGR) models, and landscape metrics were employed to delineate the urban areas and characterize spatiotemporal characteristics and landscape patterns of these megacities during 1975-2015. All urban maps presented high overall accuracies (80.70%-95.90%) and overall Kappa coefficients (0.76-0.95). The study revealed that megacities in the B&R region have undergone different types of urban sprawl, mainly adopting a 'concentric circle' pattern in inland areas and a 'sector' pattern in coastal areas. Besides, six expansion modes were summarized according to the AGRs of individual megacities. Differences existed in megacities of the developing and developed countries and among five sub-regions. Moreover, 'dispersion, gathering, and re-dispersion' and 'coalescence' were two major landscape patterns of megacities in developing and developed countries. Results of this study can provide a scientific reference for urban planning and aid in sustainable development of local areas.

“…Others put their eyes on geopolitical issues, such as the social-economical influence on the international landscape, the rise and fall of the great powers (Liu, Dunford, and Gao 2017;Scobell, Lin, and Shatz et al 2018). In the latest studies, some has moved the focuses onto the fossil energy investment in the BRI countries, for instance, financing the oil and gas exploitation and the coal power plants (Li, Huang, and Tian 2019;Yuan et al 2019;Duan et al 2018;Zhang 2019;Zhang, Fu, and Pu 2019;Gallagher and Qi 2018). Those literatures intended to take stock of the changes in overseas trade and investment between China and other BRI countries from a bottom-up perspective with data sources collected online.…”

In order to understand better on medium-and long-term climate change issues in international cooperation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this paper is meant to assess the implementation of National Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the BRI countries and the emission constraints under the Paris Agreement to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, based on the Belt and Road Integrated Assessment Model (BRIAM) and the best available data. The results show that the BRI countries are expected to collectively reduce about 3.2 billion tons of CO 2 emissions with the implementation of their NDCs by 2030. In order to achieve the global goal of 2°C, without appropriate mitigation burden sharing and enhanced climate finance support, the BRI countries will face big challenges to bridge the emission gaps. The investment in clean energy and related new infrastructures in BRI will rise sharply to above US$100 trillion by the end of this century accordingly with the increase in carbon price, which will also eventually have a significant impact on the price of electricity and oversea freight transport in a connecting world.
