In its landmark Urgenda judgment of 20 December 2019 the Dutch Supreme Court confirmed the lower courts’ order compelling the State of the Netherlands to limit the joint volume of Dutch annual greenhouse gas emissions ...

Geochemical and geochronological analyses of samples of surficial Acre Basin sediments and fossils indicate an extensive fluvial-lacustrine system, occupying this region, desiccated slowly during the last glacial cycle (...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) plays a crucial role in regulating global and regional climate by distributing heat meridionally across the planet. Future projections indicate a weakening of the AM...

Abstract The North Atlantic eddy-driven jet plays a vital role in shaping Euro-Atlantic weather and climate. While previous research has focused on the seasonal mean jet response to climate change, its changes at subseas...

This paper explores the many aspects of precipitation measurement that are relevant to providing an accurate global assessment of this important environmental parameter. Methods discussed include ground data, satellite e...

The ability of four regional climate models to reproduce the present-day South American climate is examined with emphasis on La Plata Basin. Models were integrated for the period 1991-2000 with initial and lateral bounda...

Abstract Background Malaria continues to pose a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where more than 95% of global cases and deaths occur. Despite WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria (GTS) tar...

The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between average lactation somatic cell counts (SCC) and herd management practices in an arid climate. A total of 38,530 average lactation SCC records for 10,216 Ho...

Abstract Animal-mediated seed dispersal underpins forest maintenance, yet climate change threatens this mutualism by reshaping plant-frugivore overlap. Most projections assume that frugivore richness and binary interacti...

Aircraft emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx= NO + NO2), aerosols, and aerosol precursors provide a non-negligible contribution to the climate impact of air traffic, and the uncertainty in their climate Effective Rad...

As aviation's contribution to anthropogenic climate change is increasing, the sector aims at reducing its climate effect in accordance with international agreements. The strong and variable non-CO2 effects are complex, m...

Climate change-induced shocks, particularly drought, are more prevalent and causing drastic changes in farming and livelihood in the Barind Tract region of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study aims to identify drought shock...

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...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

This study is aimed to assess the added value of Regional Climate Models (RCMs) with respect to their driving Global Climate Models (GCMs) focused on the behavior of precipitation over South America (SA) at different tem...

Abstract Permafrost degradation on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has profound impacts on hydrological processes, yet the responses of permafrost hydrology to different climate forcings remain unclear. Here we integrate output...

Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

Understanding the spatio-temporal structure and persistence of meteorological droughts is critical for climate risk assessment, particularly in regions with pronounced climatic gradients. Here, we present the first appli...

This study explores the intersection of sustainable urban governance and smart infrastructure in the development of resilient cities. As urban areas grow, integrating advanced technologies with climate-responsive plannin...

Abstract The loss of biodiversity, climate change, and disparities in human development are all interrelated challenges that the world is currently dealing with. In response, interest in applying Industry 5.0 technologie...

Abstract Background Climate change is increasingly influencing the prevalence and severity of various diseases. While previous studies have linked climate variables to emergency department (ED) admissions, few have exami...

Abstract Background Pacific island countries (PICs), including Fiji, are among the most vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change. In Fiji, acute watery diarrhea (AWD) remains a common communicable disease of pu...

Abstract Background Seasonal variation in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) is well documented, with higher morbidity in winter. Israel’s contrasting climates—Mediterranean in the north and semi-arid ...

This article examines variation in green industrial policies for electrified vehicles (EVs) in Brazil and Mexico. Both are middle-income democracies with significant automotive sectors, yet they have adopted distinct tec...
