Climate vulnerable residents in Nigeria are creating makeshift adaptation systems
Climate vulnerable residents in Nigeria are creating makeshift adaptation systems Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Residents in informal settlements in Lagos—who are among the most vulnerable to climate change—have developed sophisticated, multi-scale climate adaptation systems and are earning a living from climate action, a new study by Brianna Castro, assistant professor of urban sustainability at the Yale School of the Environment, found. However, government policies...
Smarter land use could unlock biodiversity, climate and economic gains across 146 countries
National governments and multilateral institutions face difficult challenges reconciling environmental goals, such as biodiversity conservation and addressing climate change, with economic development goals. In a first-of-its-kind analysis done for 146 countries around the world, an interdisciplinary research team led by researchers at the University of Minnesota has found large potential gains in biodiversity, climate and economic development from improved land use and land management. The...

An Agent-Based Model for Migration Decision-Making Under Higher Frequency of Extreme Climate Events
Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper develops an agent-based model of climate-related human migration that links repeated environmental shocks to individual migration decision-making through the joint evolution of perceived risk, aspirations to migrate, and migration capability. Building on the aspirations-capabilities framework, the model represents migration as an emergent outcome of two opposing dynamics: shocks increase perceived risk and raise aspirations to move, while...
Can cities keep pace with growing populations?
Housing, climate resilience and urban development took centre stage at the 13th Session of the World Urban Forum, where delegates exchanged ideas and practical solutions for the challenges facing cities worldwide. The 13th Session of the World Urban Forum brought together political leaders, urban planners and development experts to discuss the future of cities. Housing affordability, climate resilience and sustainable growth dominated discussions as delegates exchanged experiences and...
The Equilibrium Response of Atmospheric Machine-Learning Models to Uniform Sea Surface Temperature Warming
Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning models for the global atmosphere that are capable of producing stable, multi-year simulations of Earth's climate have recently been developed. However, the ability of these ML models to generalize beyond the training distribution remains an open question. In this study, we evaluate the climate response of several state-of-the-art ML models (ACE2-ERA5, NeuralGCM, and cBottle) to a uniform sea surface temperature warming, a widely used...

Diel metabolic plasticity of CAM photosynthesis in MD-2 pineapple (Ananas comosus) under contrasting tropical environments: biochemical patterns and agronomic implications.
Abstract The current understanding of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), including semi-controlled studies in pineapple, does not fully explain outcomes observed under commercial field conditions. Although empirical agronomy confirms a strong climatic influence on growth and development, mechanistic explanations at the metabolic level particularly for photosynthate allocation remain scarce. This study evaluated how environmental variation affects diel CAM outputs and how such effects can be...
UN warns El Niño to bring more heat and disasters in coming months
BRUSSELS — The world must prepare for a surge in weather extremes and heat waves as a potentially exceptional El Niño emerges, the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization has warned. The WMO said on Tuesday that there’s an 80 percent chance of an El Niño — the warm phase of a natural climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean — developing between June and August, and a 90 percent chance the event will arrive by November. El Niño’s return heralds a temporary upsurge in global...
Climate network characterization of the AMOC edge state
arXiv:2606.08623v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been identified as a tipping element in the Earth system. Under the current climate change scenarios, it is urgent to develop robust methods for determining the probability of future AMOC transitions. Recent studies using an Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) have revealed the importance of an AMOC edge state, located on the boundary of the attraction basin of the...
