Nature Climate Change

Nature Climate Change spoke to @astridschomaker.bsky.social, Executive Secretary @unbiodiversity.bsky.social about biodiversity, its intersections with climate change, progress in action and hopes for outcomes of the Conference of the Parties www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨Excited to share our latest publication! Using process-tracing methods, our new paper in @natclimate.nature.com examines how political affiliation and extreme weather exposure shape attention and climate-related choices. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ClimateChange #DecisionMaking

This COP season, how can we strengthen Rio Convention implementation through reciprocal learning, and what implementation architecture already exists? Read more in our new Comment in Nature Climate Change: rdcu.be/j4Btmxy3VkEa

As the start of the Biodiversity COP17 approaches, we've published content, and drawn together related content, on the implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework in the broader context of global change and sustainable development. communities.springernature.com/posts/implem...

🌏 How should carbon removal projects be governed ❓   📣  In our new paper in Nature Climate Change (@natclimate.nature.com), we asked 10,852 people in six counties to judge hypothetical carbon removal projects. ⚖️ We find that getting procedural and distributive fairness right is key 👇

"Individuals act within systems, and systems are shaped and sustained by individual and collective behaviour." @charlotte-kukowski.bsky.social et al argue for understanding of where agency exists & how it can be exercised to push behavioural change for climate action www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NEW ARTICLE @natclimate.nature.com by CASBS fellow @climatefran.bsky.social & collaborators, "New Labour and Agricultural Damages Improve Climate Cost Estimates," quantifies the cost of heat stress on global labor. Access the paper and read Fran's detailed explanatory thread below ⬇️

🐝 Essentiels à la pollinisation dans les régions tempérées et froides, les bourdons subissent les effets du changement climatique sur leurs habitats. Une étude publiée dans Nature Climate Change et coordonnée par le Laboratoire d’Épidémiologie Spatiale (SpELL) de l’ULB.

I have a new comment in Nature Climate Change about the connections between using informal grass-roots knowledge for adaptation to extreme heat, and addressing justice concerns about ensuring equitable distribution of opportunities and benefits. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Our new open access paper from Hong Wang's PhD in Nature Climate Change @springernature.com shows how climate warming causes more barriers for river habitats due to river temperatures exceeding tolerance thresholds for fish species: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @water.leeds.ac.uk

Climate change is expected to alter oceanic circulation, with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at risk of collapse. A study in Nature Climate Change shows that the stability of the AMOC is dependent on the rate of atmospheric CO2 change rather than having a fixed threshold. 🌊🧪

Global hourly heat extremes are projected to triple by the end of the century under a moderate-emissions scenario, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change. 🧪

Whether the Atlantic Ocean currents (AMOC) shut down under climate change depends on how quickly the planet warms. Our new study shows that there may be no fixed temperature threshold for this climate tipping scenario. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Figure by René van Westen

Great discussion today with René van Westen on his paper that says AMOC collapse depends on *rate* of warming rather than an absolute temperature. And our current rate of warming is enough to tip the AMOC to collapse! #AMOC #ClimateChange www.youtube.com/live/Zm0v_2r...

The future of climate change keeps moving into the present. The future of climate action… somehow stays in the distant future. A fascinating new study analysing 240,000+ US news stories reveals how news coverage may be normalising delay. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

From celebrities to neighbours, the people around us can nudge us towards better climate choices. A new study, led by CAST's Dr Sam Hampton, with Prof Lorraine Whitmarsh MBE (University of Bath) & Dr Briony Latter (Cardiff University), shows how 📣 Read the blog post summary of the key findings 👇

In a recent study in Nature Climate Change, lead author and #uvic @uvicenvi.bsky.social PhD student Claire Wright and co-author Dr. Eric Higgs examines how #climatechange is driving the emergence of ecological conditions with no precedent. #ecology #environment #climate www.uvic.ca/socialscienc...

The related paper, "Canopy-mediated climate feedbacks in the boreal continuous permafrost zone", by @smstuenzi.bsky.social, @grosseguido.bsky.social et al. is out now in Nature Climate Change! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Another of our anniversary News & Views is now online - @katharinevincent.bsky.social looks back at Berrang-Ford et al systematic review of evidence on human adaptation to climate change rdcu.be/fwdAZ

The journal Nature Climate Change recently had it's 15th birthday - and 'celebrated' by reflecting in stunning visuals how climate change has changed in its lifetime. www.nature.com/immersive/s4... @natclimate.nature.com

A new study published in @natclimate.nature.com, authored by scientists from #CopernicusClimate, shows global heat stress is not only intensifying, but also persisting for longer & affecting previously untouched regions. 🔗 climate.copernicus.eu/global-study... @ecmwf.int

One billion more people face at least one day of extreme heat stress each year compared with the 1970s, according to a paper in Nature Climate Change. The findings show that global heat stress is intensifying across events during the day, night, and during both the day and night. 🌎🧪

1/ Predictions of future climate improve over time, but this shouldn't weaken the Paris Agreement. But in several widespread interpretations of "well below 2C", it does. New (short!) paper with @joerirogelj proposes a fix. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵

Excited to share our new paper on leaf scorching. 🔥Early leaf browning during heat and drought is often interpreted as premature leaf senescence - but it may reflect rapid heat damage. Separating these processes is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @wslresearch.bsky.social

🚨New paper🚨 For decades, it was widely assumed tropical species would be hit hardest by #ClimateChange. Turns out climate-related local #extinctions are already more frequent among temperate species. Read our new study 🧵 @natclimate.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s415... #BiodiversityLoss #SciSky

Today, our research showing how much heat stress has intensified across the globe is published in Nature Climate Change @natclimate.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Heat stress has become more severe, more frequent, more widespread and longer-lasting, with worldwide health implications 🥵

One billion more people face at least one day of extreme heat stress each year compared with the 1970s, says @natclimate.nature.com paper. Findings show global heat stress is intensifying across events during day, night, and during both day and night: spklr.io/63322E3AC8 #ClimateChange 🧪

Human-driven sea-level rise has quadrupled frequency of extreme coastal sea-level events since 1900. Findings suggest climate change has already altered coastal flood risk and highlights need to integrate these changes into adaptation and risk management strategies: @natclimate.nature.com 🧪

Blue carbon projects are proposed in the territories of coastal communities, fishers and Indigenous peoples. But how are the land and sea rights of these peoples conveyed and protected? Our @natclimate.nature.com study finds blue carbon could be risking such rights. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Where will hail risk increase in a warmer world? A new Nature Climate Change study by CCRC & ICRR researchers finds hail-prone conditions are shifting poleward, with winter hail risk projected to increase in some agricultural regions.

In our new paper in Nature Climate Change, we show that hail conditions are projected to shift poleward with climate change, and that summer decreases and winter increases in hail hazard mean that winter crops may face rising risks from hail. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A study in Nature Climate Change reconstructs historical seabird dispersal routes, showing that birds responded to temperature shifts by changes in range size rather than body mass. These trends are projected to persist. go.nature.com/4v88o2A 🌍🧪

The UN General Assembly has voted to adopt the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on states’ obligations in respect of climate change. We recently published a piece, co-authored by a campaigner to the ICJ, for this means for addressing loss & damage rdcu.be/flb8c
