Brazil, despite possessing the largest renewable freshwater reserves in the world (8.65 trillion m³ annually), faces growing challenges in water management due to increasing demand. Agriculture, responsible for 68.4% of water consumption, is one of t...

Communities of color have been historically excluded and marginalized in the ongoing conversations about climate preparedness and resilience at local, national, and global levels. Using focus groups composed of Boston communities of color (Asian Amer...

Background: The association between mortality and heatwaves is well documented. Heatwaves frequency, intensity, and duration increase with global climate change. The most vulnerable group for dying during heatwaves is older people. Knowing which dise...

Predicting local precipitation patterns over the European Alps remains an open challenge due to many limitations. The complex orography of mountainous areas modulates climate signals, and in order to analyse extremes accurately, it is essential to ac...

Climate change presents an urgent global challenge, manifesting in rising temperatures and extreme weather events with severe societal impacts. The Eastern Mediterranean, warming faster than the global average, faces immediate repercussions. Climate...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a climate-resilient practice that stands out globally as an important practice through which we can deal with emerging challenges through adaptation and mitigation to increase crop productivity and resilience. Despi...

Climate change and wildfire effects have continued to receive great attention in recent times due to the impact they render on the environment and most especially to the field of agriculture. The purpose of this study was to assess the synergistic im...

Portugal is by far the country most affected by wildfires in Mediterranean Europe. The increase in frequency and severity of extreme years in the last two decades calls for a better understanding of the role played by climate variability and climate...

Studying air Urban Heat Islands (AUHI) in African cities is limited by building height data scarcity and sparse air temperature (T_air) networks, leading to classification confusion and gaps in T_air data. Satellite imagery used in surface UHI (SUHI) a...

There is an increasing consensus that climate change undermines human security by exacerbating existing challenges, acting as a “threat multiplier”. Bangladesh is a climate hot spot due to its geographical location, dense population and v...

Climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, profoundly altering demographic landscapes globally and within the United States. This study investigates their impact on migration patterns, using propensity score matc...

Vietnam is a country most at risk for experiencing climate change effects, especially increasing temperatures. Agricultural production is one of the biggest contributors to Vietnam’s economy. Recent research has explored how climate change will...

This article assesses the individual vulnerability of 550 farming households, 430 in Haiti and 120 in the Dominican Republic, on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola to the impacts of climate change. This assessment is based on an integrated approach,...

Governments across the world are facing challenges in urgently responding to the adverse impacts of climate change. Australian cities have been proactively working on various climate action plans. Despite this, the Climate Action Tracker rates Austra...

Nowadays, climate change constitutes an enormous global threat for human health and environmental sustainability. The expanding world population and the increased global need for food production have an important negative impact upon the environment....

As warmer and drier conditions associated with global warming are projected to increase in southern Europe, the Mediterranean countries are currently the most prone to wildfire danger. In the present study, we investigated the statistical relationshi...

This article provides, firstly, an overview of Arctic traditional horse herding as one of the Indigenous subsistence practices of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It discusses the origins, characteristics, and spiritual and material importance of Sak...

Despite the wide range of applications of the Spatial Synoptic Classification (SSC), its expansion and utility in the tropics remains limited. This research utilized the fifth generation of European ReAnalysis (ERA5) data to develop an SSC scheme tai...

The escalating impact of climate change on global weather patterns threatens the functionality and resilience of infrastructure systems. This paper presents a rigorous risk assessment protocol tailored to existing bridge infrastructure, integrating c...

Drought is, among natural hazards, one of the most harmful to humanity. The forecasting of droughts is essential to reduce their impact on the economy, agriculture, tourism and water resource systems. In this study, drought forecast in the central re...

An automated quality control pre-processing algorithm for removing non-weather radar echoes from airborne Doppler radar data has been developed. The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the time and experience level required for interactive ra...

This study evaluates the cost of heat-related mortality using economic impacts and mortality data from the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium as a proxy. By examining the economic loss measured by gross domestic product (GDP) decline and excess mortality d...

Seasonal forests are characterized by seasonal dynamics that influence the growth and ecophysiology of forest species. Erythroxylum pauferrense is an understory species endemic to the Northeastern region of Brazil, with a distribution limited to Para...
