engagement and momentum among key stakeholders – government, international organizations, impacted communities, multilateral development banks and international finance institutions, civil society, think tanks, the private sector, and others – around action at the intersection of climate change and human ...
Increased drought due to climate change will alter fire regimes in mesic forested landscapes where fuel moisture typically limits fire spread and where fuel loads are consistently high. These landscapes are often extensively modified by human land use change and management. We forecast the influence of...

barriers to change (e.g. seedcorncontracts –Stuart and Schewe, 2016), and level of knowledge of climate change (Nguyen et al., 2019). Given the long established importance of attitudes and beliefs to decision-making in agriculture (Burton, 2004) these beliefs can play a significant role ...
Climate change threatens the role of European forests as a long-term carbon sink. Assisted migration aims to increase the resilience of forest tree populations to climate change, using species-specific climatic limits and local adaptations through transferring seed provenances. We modelled assisted migra...
Though regressive suppression keeps many fires at small sizes (Supplementary Fig. S2) and reduces the absolute amount of burned area (relative to a world with no suppression), in the face of climate change and fuel accumulation, it counter-intuitively leads to a higher relative rate of increasin...
Maryland has a goal of planting 5 million native trees by 2031. Trees sequester carbon dioxide and help to mitigate climate change. They also help to cool down urban heat islands, reduce home energy costs, filter air and water, and contribute to good health and well-being. ...
…Sherilee Harper, a lead author on the North American chapter and an associate professor at the University of Alberta’s public health school, said she was personally struck by the effect climate change already is having on the “physical and mental health of many Americans.” Peter Ward then...
In general, this study is one of the first to examine the compounding impacts of climate and land-use change on the distribution of infectious disease hosts at a national scale. Ultimately, it helps to predict the potential outcomes of interactions among local (e.g., urbanization) and large-...
