Our synthesis and evaluation also speak to the value of revisiting the claims (predictive, indicative or otherwise) that scientists make about events that are of substantial relevance to policy once there is sufficient evidence to assess their validity12,24,135,136. This has the capacity not only...
In climate change and energy research, stories and nar- ratives can provide different and unique perspectives when compared with other traditional forms of data. Narratives can bring to light insights, constraints, misconceptions, beliefs, experiences, or perspectives that commonly exist but may have ...
This study finds that interdisciplinary doctoral theses have exhibited a growing trend across different scientific domains, and universities of varying research intensity. Since the 1990s, interdisciplinary research has played a dominant role in doctoral theses within the five scientific domains. The ...
The theory about the impacts of natural disasters on firms is ambiguous and the empirical evidence on this topic is scarce, which hampers the design of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation policies. In this paper we identify the short-run impacts of storms and floods on firm gr...

The parameter that controls the change of this rate is called γ. If γ is greater than one, then the diversification rate decreases through time. Model C assumes an abrupt change in rate before and after some breakpoint in the past. See McKenna & Farrell [98] for a visual comparison ...
we contend that while there is no documented evidence that local climate action has affected Brazil's ability to meet its mitigation goals, cities' paradiplomacy and policy experiments have strengthened a multilevel approach to climate governance and contributed to positive change towards a sustainable...
Climate change - Evidence, Causes, Impacts: All historical sciences share a problem: As they probe farther back in time, they become more reliant on fragmentary and indirect evidence. Earth system history is no exception. High-quality instrumental record
Species extinctions due to habitat destruction have been widely observed globally1,2and are likely to be exacerbated under rapid climate change in the coming decades3. Accurately estimating species loss, which is relevant for coping with the climate change crisis, has become a fundamental and importa...
This review has been addressed as part of a research project on climate change-related frost damage in flowering orchards in Belgium and in cooperation with the Frost Inno project team of the Research Centre ‘PC Fruit vzw’ in Kerkom, Sint Truiden, Belgium. In the latter project, established...
