What Does It Take? A Cross‐National Study Exploring Drivers for Willingness to Engage in Effortful Climate Action

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While much is known about what drives general participation in climate action, less is known about the drivers of actions that are explicitly linked to time, resource, or convenience constraints (i.e., effortful climate action). Understanding what drives effortful climate action is important to effectively tackle climate change, as many high ...

Optimization of vulnerability assessment through socio-economic data spatialization for enhanced landslide risk evaluation

Open Geosciences
In response to issues in regional landslide risk evaluation (LRE), such as the over-reliance on administrative unit statistics for vulnerability characterization and the difficulty in capturing the fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of socio-economic ...

Rainchecks and Risk: Climate Shocks, Policy Transitions and SME Credit Dynamics

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium enterprises rely heavily on bank credit. They also have the fewest tools to deal with climate risk. Using a panel of 45 countries from 2007 to 2022, we study how climate risk and the Paris Agreement shape SME bank lending. Climate‐related disasters are associated with lower SME credit, with post‐event estimates indicating a ...

A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Landowners' Participation in Forest Carbon Markets

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest carbon markets contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals and national mitigation plans. Identifying the factors associated with landowner participation in forest carbon projects is essential for effective project design. We conduct a systematic review and meta‐analysis to synthesise participation factors, determine mean ...

Regional Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment Considering Landslide Spatial Aggregation and Hydrological Slope Units

Applied Sciences
Landslide risk assessment (LRA) is an important basis for disaster risk management. The widespread phenomenon of landslide spatial aggregation brings uncertainty to landslide hazard assessment (LHA) in LRA studies, but it is often overlooked.

Slow-Moving Landslide Hazard Assessment Using LS-Unilab Deep Learning Model with Highlighted InSAR Deformation Signal

Remote Sensing
Slow-moving landslides are often precursors of catastrophic failure, posing a major threat to human life and property safety. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has become a crucial tool for investigating slow-moving landslides hazard ...

The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal

Weather, EarlyView.
From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Playing the System: Electoral Bias in the 2024 UK General Election

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 65-73, January/March 2025.
Abstract The UK's 2024 general election was the least proportional of modern times. Labour's substantial parliamentary majority rested on the smallest ever winning party vote share. The Conservatives, meanwhile, suffered one of their worst ever results.
