Pakistan's irrigated agriculture suffers from climate change due to its high exposure to climate extreme events and the low adaptation of its farming systems. Understanding the human aspects of adaptation decisions in a vulnerable climatic environment is integral for policymakers who want to...

As climate change progresses, significant mitigation and adaptation efforts are needed, including at the local level, and there is a growing literature analysing whether and how cities are taking action. However, few studies have assessed the progress and dynamics of urban climate policies over...

Climate change is already affecting and altering natural and human systems, and its effects are expected to intensify over the coming decades. Adaptation is therefore imperative for future development. However, like any other anthropogenic intervention, adaptation measures can have unintended...

Abstract Urban regions globally face increasing challenges in maintaining robust, reliable, and sustainable water systems in light of growing climatic and institutional uncertainties. Drought-induced supply reductions are increasingly concerning, particularly in arid regions such as the...

AbstractUnderstanding how agricultural practices and climate change impact crop yields and soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial for maintaining agroecosystem functioning. In this study, MONICA model was used for assessing the impacts of agricultural strategies: conventional (CON), organic (ORG),...

Abstract The Mediterranean-type climates on mainland Portugal generally provide suitable conditions for growing olive trees, though climate change may challenge their long-term sustainability. Historical (1995–2014) and projected future scenarios (2041–2060) of agroclimatic indices are...

Abstract Increasing forest disturbances caused by climate change will present challenges for the resilience of wood value chains. In recent decades, Europe has experienced a rise in forest disturbances, including storms, droughts, and bark beetle infestations, which have a significant impact on...

AbstractCarbon dioxide removal (CDR), which emerged in climate models as a largely abstract idea, has evolved into a set of specific methods and spawned calls for supportive policies. Industrial approaches through the use of biomass combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), as well as...

The utilization of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) as Nature-based Solutions (NBS) holds significant promise for enhancing resilience against climate change-induced flooding and promoting community well-being in urban areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. While existing research predominantly...

AbstractGreenhouse gas emission reduction in the passenger transport sector is a main challenge for China’s climate mitigation agenda. Electrification and shared mobility provide encouraging options for carbon emissions reduction in road transport. Based on an integrated scenario-based...
