Background: Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are at the forefront of climate change impacts, facing significant challenges to their livelihoods because of increasing temperatures, erratic rainfall and extreme w...

Background: Climate change and increasing water scarcity pose significant challenges to sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) service delivery in rural Africa. In Ethiopia, poor maintenance of rural water sch...

Climate change is creating serious challenges for fisheries in coastal Nigeria. Fisheries extension workers, who support fishers with advice and training, must themselves be resilient to continue delivering services. Thi...

Ecosystem-based adaptation practices among smallholder farmers in drought-prone areas provides a positive response strategy to the increasing challenges posed by climate change, particularly declining crop yield under dr...

Unlocking the full potential of ponds (small water bodies) and pondscapes (network of ponds) as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) is critical pursuit for enhancing ecosystems and societal resilience to climate change and othe...

Abstract Major concerns in view of global issues including population increase, climate change, food insecurity and declining cultivable land are ones of expansion. Ensuring nutritional security and helping to mitigate t...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Climate change poses escalating challenges to urban systems, intensifying risks from extreme temperatures, flooding, sea-level rise, and socio-environmental inequalities. Cities are increasingly recognised as critical ar...

Abstract Climate change poses significant strain on global water supplies, necessitating robust adaptive measures in irrigated agriculture to ensure food security. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, this study provides a sys...

Increasing leaf dry matter and phenolic content in tomato has the potential to enhance plant resilience, a key requirement for food security and sustainable agriculture in the context of climate change. However, phenolic...

Abstract Background Climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural production worldwide, with developing countries being particularly vulnerable to its negative impacts. Agriculture, which is a crucial factor ...

Nature-based solutions (NbS) for urban stormwater management, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, green roofs, and permeable pavements, are increasingly promoted as climate adaptation tools that enhance...

Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: the primary objective of this review is to synthesise evidence of the effectiveness of interventions to promote climate‐sma...

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the extent international law and provide opportunities for coastal communities to engage in the development of ocean-related policies and regulations. Governanc...

Embark on an exhilarating literary odyssey with "Exposed Fragility: Vulnerable Organisms to Climate Change " a captivating exploration of the intricate dance between our planet's delicate ecosystems and the powerful forc...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

The Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) remain highly climate vulnerable, where farmers experience limited access to timely, trusted, and contextualized risk information necessary for adaptation. This study examines how exposure ...

Climate change presents significant challenges to ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. In Malaysia, a tropical country highly dependent on its natural resources, the impacts are evident in altered rainfall patt...

Urban informality and climate change pose significant challenges for urban planning in rapidly growing cities in the Global South. This study conducts a qualitative content analysis of 45 spatial planning instruments add...

ABSTRACT Background Bangladesh's extreme vulnerability to climate change is fueling public health emergencies, from infectious disease outbreaks to severe mental health burdens. The country's reactive and centralized hea...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies are vital for enhancing the climate resilience of high-value, climate-sensitive crops like vanilla in Sub-Saharan Africa. While institutional support through agricultural ext...
