Surface ozone (O3) is a major air pollutant and greenhouse gas with significant risks to human health, vegetation, and climate. Uncertainties around the impacts of various critical factors on O3is crucial to understand. We used the Community Earth System Model to investigate the impacts of land use and land cover change (LULCC), climate, and emissions on global O3air quality under selected Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). Our findings show that increasing forest cover by 20 % under SSP1 in East China, Europe, and the eastern US leads to higher isoprene emissions leading 2–5 ppb increase in summer O3levels. Climate-induced meteorological changes, like rising temperatures, further enhance BVOC emissions and increase O3levels by 10–20 ppb in urban areas with high NOxlevels. However, higher BVOC emissions can reduce O3levels by 5–10 ppb in remote environments. Future NOxemissions control reduces O3levels by 5–20 ppb in the US and Europe in all SSPs, but reductions in NOxand changes in oxidant titration increase O3in southeast China in SSP5. Increased NOxemissions in southern Africa and India significantly elevate O3levels up to 15 ppb under different SSPs. Climate change is equally important as emissions changes, sometimes countering the benefits of emissions control. The combined effects of emissions, climate, and land cover result in worse O3air quality in northern India (+40 %) and East China (+20 %) under SSP3 due to anthropogenic NOxand climate-induced BVOC emissions. Over the northern hemisphere, surface O3decreases due to reduced NOxemissions, although climate and land use changes can increase O3levels regionally. By 2050, O3levels in most Asian regions exceed the World Health Organization safety limit for over 150 days per year. Our study emphasizes the need to consider complex interactions for effective air pollution control and management in the future.
