To assess the impact of weighting hydrological climate models, a study was conducted on models of 20 North American basins. The study reveals the need to evaluate equal weight placed on models with different levels of uncertainty. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

The Araucaria tree is an endangered keystone species in Brazil. As the link between climate change, biodiversity, and spatial shifts in species distribution is not well understood, a new study investigates Araucaria, its predators, and its seed dispersers. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

In British Columbia, Canada, the operation of the Nechako Reservoir will impact hydropower production, fisheries, and salmon migration. Reservoir adaptation is needed to manage the adverse impact on these interconnected systems. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Climate change has been linked to violent conflict. Yet, the exact nature of the climate-conflict relationship is not well understood. A new study analyzes 32 studies operationalizing climate-related indicators to determine how climate impacts conflict. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

While meteorological stations in central Africa are rare, climate data must be digitized to improve record-keeping and understanding for agriculture. From 1960 to 2020, Yangambi experienced a long-term increase in temperature and temperature extremes. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Hydrological changes attributed to global warming are the most extreme at northern high latitudes. From 1961 to 2019, 58% of the observed hydrological trends in 50 Norwegian catchments were attributed mainly to climate change. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Projections based on the International Futures model predicted poverty levels in 175 countries through 2070. “If climatic tipping points are passed, the climate-attributable extreme poverty grows to … 56 million by 2070 (range: 7–306).” doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

To teach students about climate change effectively, teachers need to attain climate literacy. How can teachers be better prepared to promote understanding of climate science and natural systems within their teaching? doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Residents of Lausanne, Switzerland, were surveyed on the role of urban green infrastructure (UGI) in promoting biodiversity and planting composition. These perspectives offer insight into future designs of urban environments. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

To better prepare for climate change, the relationship between extreme precipitation events (EPEs) and heatwaves (HWs) must be understood. Based on historical data, EPEs, and HWs are projected to increase in certain areas of Eastern China. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Sea level rise (SLR) will impact property values along coastlines. On the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i, properties that are expected to be impacted by 3.2 ft of flooding from SLR have seen decreased transaction prices (9-14%) between 2014 and 2019. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

What is a heat(wave)? It has multiple definitions grounded in climate science as well as cultural, socio-political, and biophysical experience. Understanding heat waves as multiple objects is important in considering their impact on older adults. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Rural farmers in the Nkomazi local municipality, South Africa, use indigeneous knowledge (observations of animals and plants) for predicting weather. As climate change affects these indicators, it will become challenging to make informed decisions. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

Norwegians were surveyed about their land use preference for grazed agricultural land. While people born in 1980 likely supported natural forest succession for carbon sequestration, those born before 1970 were likely to favor continued agricultural usage. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

74 lakes across the Midwest and Northeast US were assessed for their ice phenology. Understanding factors that affect ice formation and melting will improve knowledge of ice behavior and the environmental impacts of ice loss. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

At least one previous study projects that the Sundarbans will be completely inundated by the end of the century. However, a new study shows less inundation and its projections can contribute to forest management planning for the Bangladesh Delta Plan. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…

“Cooling credits” are marketed to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) warming with aerosol-based cooling. But, the impacts of aerosols and GHGs are too different to appropriately reduce climate risk. Cooling credits are unlikely to ever be a viable solution. doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-0…
