Farmers are facing increasingly extreme weather—floods, droughts, and storms that threaten food production and livelihoods. In this episode, we spoke with Associate Professor Liu Juan from China Agricultural University about how small-scale farmers, large agribusinesses, and rural communities are ...
As the climate crisis has made heatwaves more likely and more intense, cities are taking measures to mitigate the adverse effects of extreme temperatures.
Research identifies 15 proven ways that urban areas around the world can adapt to climate risk.(49 pages)Cities are on the front lines of the growing physical risks associated with climate change.1 They are home to more than half of the world’s people, and by 2050, that figure is projec...
Although interviewees claimed to take climate change and adaptation strategies into account, in practice such strategies have as yet only occasionally been implemented. Our results suggest that strategies for adapting forest management to climate change are just in the early stages of development or ...
We analyze the strategic interaction between mitigation and adaptation in a non-cooperative game in which regions are players and mitigation and adaptation are perfect substitutes in protecting against climate impacts. We allow for step by step decision making, with mitigation chosen first and adaptation...
We track this according to two pillars:1 Chapter 1 The policy framework Understanding how MENA governments perform on their policy activities. As the Paris Climate Agreement showed, climate change responses must begin with governments. Only states have the ability to m...

For coastal communities, adapting to the impacts of climate change in a way which maintains the things they value about their community is likely to be a considerable challenge. Consideration of future adaptation strategies tend to be very low priority for the general public due to the complexity...
climate change biologists are reluctant to identify winners and losers in this great struggle for survival, but certainly species that have a plastic response the way those squid do have a great advantage over species with limited plasticity. from the warm waters of mexico, we traveled to the ...
