Increasing overlap of fire weather between Australia and North America complicates international firefighting efforts.

New research involving Rutgers professors has revealed that expected, extreme changes in India's summer monsoon could drastically hamper the Bay of Bengal's ability to support a crucial element of the region's food supply: marine life.

A technique to cool the planet, in which particles are added to the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, would not require developing special aircraft but could be achieved using existing large planes, according to a new modelling study led by UCL researchers.

Many cities and countries remain chronically unprepared in what the UN calls an "adaptation gap". But there are five ways to catalyse more effective - and ultimately more progressive - climate adaptation and resilience.

Coastal models enhance understanding of future flooding frequency on atoll islands, paving the way to explore the limits of adaptation in the face of rising sea levels and climate change.

Innovative solutions are needed to allow small island nations to manage debt and build climate resilience as global funding declines.

This study examines the effectiveness of vegetative nature-based coastal solutions (NBCS) for mitigating coastal flood risk. The findings suggest that reliance on vegetative NBCS may not be sustainable for long-term coastal flood risk management.

When high-impact weather events drive long-term policy decisions, there is a risk of implementing changes that seem protective but actually increase the risk of future disasters or misallocate limited resources.
