This study conducts a monthly hybrid carbon footprint assessment for a 511-bed Saudi hospital, finding 2023 emissions of 41.76 kt CO₂e with near parity between Scope 2 (49.13%) and Scope 3 (48.55%). Summer electricity peaks from cooling dem…

Jörg Mayer

This policy paper challenges the carbon-centric view of climate interventions by distinguishing the biophysical cooling function of forests (evapotranspiration, BVOCs, cloud formation) from CO₂ sequestration in croplands via mycorrhizal fun…
