we used the existing state-of-the-art functions to translate heat stress into labour productivity impacts. Emerging field studies are beginning to provide evidence on the existence of heat stress impacts on productivity at temperatures below 26 °C WBGT2,42,43, also featuring notable disparities...
a–d, The cumulative exposure to unprecedented temperatures of all local species populations (that is, species X site aggregated across all sites) increases smoothly over time at the global scale. Global horizon profiles are shown when species are weighted by the inverse of their geographic range ...
This article explores how the Gender Pension Gap (GPG)—the relative difference in average pension received by men and women—might evolve in the future in various European countries, given past, current, and projected future labour market behaviour and
Less than 20 percent of the world’s population has set foot on an airplane, but that’s changing dramatically.

Finally, our study reveals that the combined effects of Amazon savannization and climate change are significantly associated with threats to human health and well-being, emphasizing the urgent need for coordinated steps to avoid negative effects on vulnerable populations. The local effects of land-use...
Freshwater plastic pollution is critically understudied in Southeast Asia (SEA). Recent modelling studies indicate that SEA rivers contribute vast quantities of plastic to the world’s oceans, however, these fail to capture the complexity of individual s
