This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an Early Warning System (EWS) to alert communities and government agencies in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, about extreme weather events (EWEs) and related disease outbreaks. The project focuses on e...

Climate change is a global crisis that disproportionately affects vulnerable agrarian communities, exacerbating food insecurity and health risks. This qualitative study explored the relationship between climate change and health in the following two...

Lightning nowcasting is crucial for ensuring safety and operational continuity in weather-exposed industries such as mining. This study evaluates three machine learning (ML)-based approaches for predicting lightning using dual-polarimetric weather ra...

Reliable rainfall prediction is essential for effective climate adaptation yet remains challenging due to complex atmospheric interactions that vary across regions. This study investigates next-day rainfall predictability in tropical and temperate cl...

The National Adaptation Plan of Bangladesh identifies eleven climate-stressed zones, placing nearly 100 million people at high risk of climate-related hazards. Vulnerable groups such as the poor, floating populations, daily laborers, and slum dweller...

This study employs k-means clustering to group 30 Chinese provinces into four CO₂ emission patterns, characterized by increasing emission levels and distinct energy consumption structures, and captures their dynamic evolution from 2000 to 2021 using...

Tunisia faces significant challenges related to climate change, which deeply affect its natural and agricultural resources. This reality threatens not only food security but also the economic stability of rural communities and mainly rural women. Thi...

Agrarian women are at the forefront of rural livelihoods increasingly affected by the frequency and severity of climate change impacts. However, their household livelihood resilience (HLR) remains limited due to gender-blind policies, scarce sex-disa...

The geographical response of western North Pacific subtropical high (SH) to environmental conditions such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and global warming has been one of the main concerns with respect to extreme events induced by...

This study investigates changes in Near-Surface Air Temperature (NSAT) over the South African region using weather station data, reanalysis products, and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) model outputs. It is shown that, based on...

This study explores the interplay of climate vulnerability and social capital in two rural communities: Brajaballavpur, a high-climate-prone village in the Indian Sundarbans characterized by high ecological fragility, recurrent cyclones, and saline w...

Machine learning (ML) has established itself as an innovative tool in sustainable forest management, essential for tackling critical challenges such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate change. Through the analysis of large volumes of dat...

Certain industries will bear a disproportionate share of the burden of climate change. Climate change risk perceptions can impact workers’ mental health and well-being; increased climate change risk perceptions are also associated with more fav...

This paper examines the intersection of global climate governance, carbon markets, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It critically analyses how Indigenous Peoples have contested the...

In recent years, early olive fruit drop has been observed in the northern Mediterranean regions, causing significant economic losses, although the exact cause remains unknown. Recent studies have identified several possible causes; however, our under...

This review examines advancements and methodologies in long-term wind-speed and -power forecasting. It emphasizes the importance of these techniques in integrating wind energy into power systems. Covering a range of forecasting timeframes from monthl...

In order to fulfil SDG 13—taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impact—SDG 2—ending hunger and poverty—and the African Union CAADP Strategy and Action Plan: 2026–2035, which’s goal is ending hunger...
