Low-fare public transport and modal shift – Lessons from Bonn, Germany by Andreas Hahn, Christina Pakusch, Gunnar Stevens

“…The Federal City of Bonn is one of five model cities that is testing measures to reduce traffic-related nitrogen dioxide emissions through a Climate Ticket as a mobility flat rate for one year for 365 €, which is part of the two-year ''Lead City'' project funded by the federal government. A quantitative survey (n = 1,315) of Climate Ticket users as well as the logistic regression carried out confirm that a change in individual mobility behavior in favor of public transport is possible by subsidizing the ticket price. …”

Impact of Climate Change and Human Activities on Runoff and Drought in Manas River Basin by XIAO Senyuan, SU Jun, YANG Guang, LIU Bing, ZHANG Di, QIU Zehao, LUO Yajie, HUANG Jingjing

“…On the basis of the monthly precipitation and runoff data of Manas River Basin from 1956 to 2020,the Mann-Kendall nonparametric test method,double cumulative curve method,and standardized runoff index (SRI) are adopted to reveal the interannual variation trend of watershed runoff and quantitatively describe the contribution proportion of climate change and human activities to watershed runoff change.In addition,the characteristics of seasonal drought change are explored under the influence of climate change and human activities.The results indicate that:① the annual runoff of Manas River Basin shows an upward trend,and a significant mutation occurred in 1995;② Climate change is the main factor leading to the increase in runoff in Manas River Basin,and the contribution rates of climate change and human activities to the increase in runoff are 56.73% and 43.37%,respectively;③ On a seasonal scale,in contrast with the impact of climate change,human activities reduce the frequency of drought events in the basin and improve the drought situation in winter.In the meanwhile,however,farmland irrigation in spring consumes enormous water resources,which results in the trend of drought in the basin in spring.…”
