Smallholder farmers in the Northeast India are vulnerable to climate risks due to subsistence based rainfed farming, fragmented landholdings, fragile ecosystems, and limited institutional support. This study aimed to ass...

While there is wide consensus about the reliance of climate projections at global scale, there is still uncertainty about changes at finer scale and even less on the effects of such fluctuations for local economies and s...

Abstract Climate change poses significant threats to agricultural production and livelihoods in Bangladesh, particularly in its agrarian regions. This research specifically addresses the vulnerability of the coastal area...

Background Strengthening emergency care systems could reduce death and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet many struggle to provide timely, high-quality care. LMICs also face growing risks from cl...

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...

Agricultural production is vital for income and food security in rural areas. However, in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency's rice farming livelihoods are increasingly threatened by climate change, environmental pressu...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Rising global temperatures are increasingly recognized as a threat to education, affecting students’ cognitive performance, learning environments, and institutional resilience. However, educational data are rarely avai...

Climate adaptation planning in resource-constrained contexts requires systematic assessment tools integrating vulnerability with capacity measurement, yet existing frameworks focus either on community vulnerability witho...

In rapidly urbanizing African cities, the combination of poor sanitation and growing climate risks remains underexplored. This study examines the combined flood risk and vulnerability of faecal sludge management (FSM) sy...

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This sec...

In Ethiopia, natural hazard threats have an adverse effect on many livelihoods. However, the systematic assessment of rural household livelihood vulnerability to the threats is lacking in the Sile-Sago watershed, which t...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

Climate change is a complex global challenge that requires collaboration across multiple scientific disciplines. In urban areas, its effects are more intense due to several factors, such as high population density, build...

Hydro-climatic extremes are intensifying across India, underscoring the need for fine-resolution socioeconomic vulnerability (SEV) assessments that can guide adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR). Most existing SE...

Abstract Hydropower at the Ruacana station underpins Namibia’s domestic electricity supply; however, empirical evidence of how interannual climate variability influences its performance remains limited. This study quan...

Climate change–driven drought increasingly threatens water security and community resilience in climate-sensitive watersheds like the Bicol River Basin (BRB) in the Philippines, highlighting the urgent need for sustain...

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...

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 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...

Abstract Rural households in Ethiopia’s conflict-affected regions face chronic food insecurity aggravated by climate variability, environmental degradation, and armed conflict. Despite existing policy frameworks, empir...

Abstract Background Hypogeous fungi play important ecological roles and have significant economic value. However, the hypogeous habit of these organisms hinders our understanding of their diversity and vulnerability. Res...

Numerous research efforts have explored novel strategies to alleviate water scarcity in various regions of Ethiopia. In this context, growing attention has been directed toward assessing the economic value of multiple wa...

This integrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms of amphibians and reptiles to multiple interacting environmental stressors, with particular emphasis on synergi...
