National Climate Change Risk Assessment out now 👇🏽 Risk to current ecosystems VERY HIGH. Rick by 2050 VERY HIGH to SEVERE

🧵 New paper out 📄 “Securing Structural Economic Transformation in a Climate-Changed World” We explore how climate change is reshaping development pathways — not just through physical impacts, but also through the global response: trade rules, finance, and geopolitics.

Delighted to announce that we are recruiting multiple Postdoctoral Research Fellows to lead cutting-edge work at the intersection of climate change adaptation, AI, and global evidence synthesis. @ascend-uct.bsky.social @acdi.bsky.social

🧵 Advances in Complex Climate Risk Assessment for Adaptation New comment in npj Climate Action with colleagues across IIASA, SEI, VU Amsterdam, UNU, and NZ. We explore how cities, coasts, and finance can better govern cascading climate risks. [1/9] @riskkan.bsky.social @acdi.bsky.social

Most Africans place primary responsibility for climate action on their own government. Our new paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com shows a further third see ordinary citizens as most responsible, while very few place responsibility on historical emitters that caused the climate crisis.

I'm so thrilled to share our newest work on African climate attitudes, identifying who people believe is most responsible for addressing climate change (and what makes people more likely to place responsibility on historic emitters).

We recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to explore climate change risks to sport. An excellent opportunity to push forward the frontiers understanding the risks and adaptation options for a sector of major economic and cultural importance globally acdi.uct.ac.za/opportunities @acdi.bsky.social

Republican proposals are underway to use the Congressional Review Act to revoke regulations currently protecting underwater archaeology. This is not good for our connections to history or our environments. #ClimateHeritage www.science.org/content/arti...

Our new paper out today in Global Environmental Change highlights the relationships between perceptions and experiences of #climate_change among herders and farmers in #Tibet and the implications for #adaptation. #Climate_literacy @talbotmandrews.bsky.social @britishacademy.bsky.social

In our new paper out today, we highlight that #losses and #damages from #climate_change cannot be entirely prevented, that decisions about what to keep and what to let go are fundamental to maintaining values for future generations; even when what is valued is gone.

Southern California now sees longer fire weather seasons, like many other places worldwide Human-caused climate change means hot, dry, windy conditions happen more often, priming landscapes to burn more easily if ignition occurs Matt Jones et al 2022 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Hurricanes, fires and other disasters caused $320bn in losses in 2024, or about a third more than the year before, highlighting the toll taken by climate change and property development in areas hit by extreme weather, the world’s largest reinsurance group said. www.ft.com/content/76d1...

Climate change knows no borders. 🌍 Our new paper highlights transboundary adaptation as key to managing climate risks that impact water, food, energy, and people. From @nickzimson.bsky.social & Portia Adade Williams ⤵️

How do we adapt to transboundary risks from climate change? In our new ODI Global Policy Brief we highlight seven entry points for #transboundary_adaptation to address climate impacts at source, destination, along transmission channels, at boundaries, and with what interacting and feedback effects

As COP29 draws to a close there is an urgent need for a new politics of climate resilient development. Our new article in Nature Climate Change describes how mitigation and adaptation measures grounded in climate justice can advance sustainable development for all: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Current estimates suggest that one in three natural sites and one in six cultural heritage sites are already threatened by climate change. How we respond to climate impacts matters and heritage has an important role to play.

I'm wondering if "Trump-induced climate change researcher refugees", could become a thing over the next few months / years? If so, our arms are wide open at the Climate Risk Lab at UCT. This commentary is rather sobering ‐ open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Stunning, and disturbing.

How do we adapt heritage to climate change? see here out new @odi-global.bsky.social Working Paper: Heritage adaption to climate change: reducing risk and harnessing opportunities odi.org/en/publicati...

New study finds nature loss in the UK could lead to an estimated 12% loss of the country's GDP in the coming years - a larger impact than the global financial crisis or the pandemic. Although this analysis is for the UK, I suspect results could be higher in countries who depend on nature even more.

Science-based and actionable research informed by pluralistic understandings of climate security is needed to counter this trend.

This commentary highlights specific dangers that accompany the institutional mainstreaming of climate security, including a non-reflexive integration into traditional security paradigms, a growing geopolitical separation between discourses, and policymaking.

Recognition of the climate crisis by security actors as a serious threat to humanity is long overdue, but it is imperative that this institutionalization is critically scrutinized.

A rapid and widespread institutionalization of climate security is underway, led by powerful states and international organizations. Our new paper in PLOS Climate: The challenges of the increasing institutionalization of climate security, journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

We highlight the escalating impacts of climate change on the movement and immobility of people is coupled with false but influential narratives of mobility, migration, refugees, and displacement.
