Climate change adaptation is urgent, yet understanding which strategies effectively reduce risks across varied climate conditions remains limited. By analyzing climate variability features and community responses—illustrated through an African case study—this review offers insights and methods to engage communities and inform policymakers for more effective adaptation support.

An overshoot of the 1.5°C target seems inevitable, prompting urgent calls for comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and globally coordinated solar geoengineering research. Drawing lessons from the CGIAR agricultural network, this article proposes a global network of climate action centers to ensure reliable and legitimate research, guiding policymakers and donors in addressing this critical need.

A study published by Mukhopadhyay et al., 2023 investigates the long-term impact of subsurface drainage (SSD) on soil quality restoration and sugarcane productivity in waterlogged saline Vertisols in India. By using soil and water samples together with a farmer field survey, the authors showed that SSD significantly reduced soil salinity and improved various soil properties, leading to increased sugarcane yields by up to 585.5%. Farmers' perceptions indicated that SSD technology could substantially improve soil conditions and crop yields, and large-scale adoption of the technology will support the Sustainable Development Goals related to Land, No Poverty, and Zero Hunger in saline soils of India.

The importance of an updating of fundamental energy law to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in the energy sector.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 13 and 15 by reviewing the unique species assemblages of high-elevation ecosystems and biodiversity trends in the context of climate change.

This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 9 and 13 by discussing the potential of AI tools to advance sustainable urban climate modeling.

This content advances UN SDG 10 and 13 goals highlighting the importance of inclusive approaches, incorporation of indigenous and traditional culture and knowledge, innovation as well as working with local communities to provide benefits both for ecosystem and wildlife conservation, and climate-resilient livelihoods.

This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by examining published literature on climate and air quality driven health outcomes in Singapore, and discusses mitigating strategies.

This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by summarising key climate risk drivers; potential climate-sensitive health risks; relevant climate change policy, legislation and activities, in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by highlighting that China risks losing its health gains within a single generation if society fails to adapt to climate change, and effective adaptation strategies need to consider China’s urbanization trends, underlying non-communicable diseases, an aging population, and future pandemic threats.
