报告内容简介：

一、This talk discusses current climate policy debates on competitiveness and carbon leakage concerns arising from unilateral decarbonization actions in the context of European agriculture. We illustrate how alternative agricultural practices can contribute to the reductions of agricultural GHG emissions while leading to competitiveness losses and carbon leakages. In responding to these challenges, we also explore the role of further trade liberalization and the recently proposed carbon border adjustment in mitigating the expected adverse effects of European decarbonization actions.

二、Systems integration is holistic approaches that integrate various disciplines, ranging from natural and social sciences such as ecology and economics, policy, to technology, for understanding complex human-nature interactions across space, over time, and among organizational levels. It is increasingly important with globalization, climate change, and socioeconomic-environmental changes around the world. This lecture will present examples of two major systems integration approaches to conducting high-impact research. One is based on insights from small-scale research. The other is to apply the integrated framework of metacoupling (human-nature interactions within as well as between adjacent and distant systems) for large-scale research. The lecture will conclude with discussion on challenges and opportunities for  high-impact research.
