Evaluating this variable remains of significant scientific interest, but its global nature makes it largely irrelevant to many areas of climate science, such as impact assessments, and also to policy in terms of vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning. Here, we focus on local changes and ...
Urban social–ecological–technological systems (SETS) are dynamic and respond to climate pressures. Change involves alterations to land and resource management, social organization, infrastructure, and design. Research often focuses on how climate chang

River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key adaptation strategies to reduce flood risk across Europe based on flood risk m
Hence, many efforts have focused on increasing the energy efficiency of buildings to produce an energy transition to a carbon-neutral world (Cabeza and Chafer Citation2020; De la Pena et al. Citation2022). Buildings also have an important role in climate change adaptation—especially for their ...
It can also be a source of climate finance for developing nations, with a share of proceeds going towards adaptation funding to build resilience to the inevitable impacts of climate change. The groundwork for carbon markets laid out at COP26 in Glasgow is now being fine-tuned at COP28. Here...
This study aims to explain the policies implemented by the European Union in transitioning to a green economy. It examines the period from the adoption of sustainable development within the Union to the present, focusing on the EU's strategies for sustai
climate variables, such as precipitation and temperature, as well as the existence of specific vegetation types. This categorization has shed light on the regional wildfire dangers, particularly in regions like East Gippsland. The observed correlation between this classification and historical burn ...
