Heat waves have emerged as an escalating climate threat, triggering cascading disruptions across food, energy, and water systems, thereby undermining resilience and sustainability. However, reviews addressing heat wave impacts on the food–energ...
The European Union’s decarbonization strategy relies on transparent and accurate climate data across value chains. Yet, existing sustainability reporting frameworks mainly target large companies, often neglecting small and medium-sized enterpri...
Farmers’ perceptions of improved rice varieties represent a critical initial step in their adoption as climate change adaptation strategies. This study examined farmers’ perceptions by integrating on-farm adaptive research, which compared...
Accurate analysis and forecasting of short-term heavy rainfall (hourly rainfall ≥ 20 mm) are crucial for extending warning, enabling targeted preventive measures, and supporting efficient resource allocation. In recent years, machine learning tech...
Geostructures, such as foundations, embankments, retaining structures, bridge abutments, and both natural and engineered slopes, interact with the ground to ensure structural safety and functionality. One significant factor influencing these systems...
This study focuses on the recovery and digitization of three fragmentary meteorological datasets from the archives of the Royal Observatory of the Spanish Navy in Cádiz, covering selected days in 1776, 1788, and 1793. These records include tem...
Reliable probabilistic wind speed forecasts are essential for integrating renewable energy into power grids and managing operational uncertainty. This study compares Quantile Regression Forests (QRF), Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART), and Ga...
Knowledge and perceptions are prerequisites for contributing to CC mitigation and adaptation. This paper developed a framework and a tool (scale) to capture farmers’ knowledge and perceptions of all aspects of CC. We involved 15 extremely quali...
The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), known as Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), has emerged as a transformative paradigm for enabling intelligent, data-driven, and context-aware decision-making in...
In the context of the global pursuit of the ‘carbon neutrality’ objective, Chinese enterprises are proactively advancing green development and low-carbon transformation. Among these efforts, climate transition risks have emerged as a cruc...
(1) Background: The climate impact of health care work has raised interest in climate-conscious health care practice. Medications contribute significantly to the carbon footprint; there has been insufficient work describing climate-conscious medicati...
Vulnerability to heat and cold is influenced by many characteristics. This study analyzed determinants of vulnerability at the district level in the whole of Austria. Daily deaths (1970–2020) and daily temperatures per district were entered int...
Cultural practices such as Catalonia’s correfocs (fire parades) represent a vibrant expression of intangible heritage. Outdoor activities are conditioned by weather and threatened by climate change. This study analyses the long-term evolution o...
Drought is a pervasive and intensifying climate hazard with profound implications for food security, water availability, and socioeconomic stability, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, where over 80% of the landmass comprises arid and semi...
Pacific Island communities have long navigated the challenges of climate change. Supporting adaptation options is critical for protecting livelihoods, especially given that these countries will continue to unfairly bear the brunt of global climate ch...
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, with direct implications for sustainable development, the physical and mental health of populations, and the functioning of health systems. Strengthening the resilience and sustainability...
Agro-industrial facilities host processes and products that are highly sensitive to thermal fluctuations. Given the projected increase in air temperatures in tropical regions due to climate change, improving indoor thermal conditions in these facilit...
Climate change governance has become an essential concern for policymakers, with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions representing one of the most pressing challenges to sustainable economic development. In this context, understanding the main drivers of C...
With global warming, tropical islands, as sensitive areas to climate change, exhibit new and significant temperature variation characteristics. Using the high-resolution Hainan Island Regional Reanalysis (HNR) dataset and multi-source data, this stud...
Explosive volcanic eruptions are key drivers of climate variability, yet their hemispheric-dependent impacts remain uncertain. Using multi-model ensembles from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) historical data and Decadal Climate...
Intensity–Duration–Frequency (IDF) curves are essential tools in the design of stormwater management systems and are often used over long periods without frequent updates. However, the continuous collection of rainfall data and the expans...
Rising temperatures intensify thermoregulatory stress, leading to increased cerebrovascular and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to examine the associations between rising temperatures and cerebrovascular and cardiovasc...
The West African Sahel suffered an unprecedented hot season during spring 2024 especially marked by noticeable heatwave episodes in the urban context of Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, where significant impacts were reported. These heat ev...
Place-based climate adaptation workshops are designed to help communities understand their climate-related vulnerabilities and plan adaptive actions in response. Through a series of surveys and interviews with participants, we examined the immediate...
The Digital Twins of the Ocean (DTOs) represent an emerging framework for monitoring, simulating, and predicting ocean dynamics, supporting a range of applications relevant to understanding and responding to the global climate system. By integrating...
The effects of extreme heat events on Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity (SUHII) were investigated in Lecce (southern Italy) during the summer months (June–August) from 2018 to 2025. The analysis began with the identification of heatwave frequ...
Studies have established that extreme air pollution is more prevalent and is responsible for more deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) in urban cities, especially in developing economies. However, the paucity of ground-based observation h...
