Abstract Extreme weather events, such as flooding, are expected to become more severe due to climate change. These impacts are connected to impacts on human systems including economic, social, and political crises. Adding to the challenge, populations have concurrently settled in risky areas that were previously thought to have low, or no ...

Non-zero trajectories for long-run net migration assumptions in global population projection models [PDF]
Background: Little attention is given to the role of migration in global population projection models. Most demographers set future levels of net migration on trajectories towards zero in all countries, nullifying the impact of migration on long-run ...

Current estimates suggest that the world is on track for ~3°C of heating relative to pre-industrial levels by 2100. This is likely to bring great disruption to earth systems, leading to increased natural hazard risks, crop failures, civil unrest and ...

The first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) is intended to eradicate multi-dimensional poverty globally. The same multidimensional poverty indices for India and the Middle East/Africa in 2020 indicate that 10–14 years are still required to reach the ...

Abstract. A global aerosol-climate model is applied to quantify the impact of the transport sectors (land transport, shipping and aviation) on aerosol and climate. Global simulations are performed for present-day (2015), based on the emission inventory of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), and for near-term (2030) and mid-term ...

Despite stringent environmental regulations, winter haze events remain a significant air quality issue in northern East Asia. Here, we first investigate the relationship between the Haze Weather Index (HWI), an index of winter atmospheric stagnation, and

Building SSPs for climate policy analysis: a scenario elicitation methodology to map the space of possible future challenges to mitigation and adaptation [PDF]
International audienceThe scientific community is now developing a new set of scenarios, referred to as Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) that will be contrasted along two axes: challenges to mitigation, and challenges to adaptation.

The marker quantification of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 2: A middle-of-the-road scenario for the 21st century [PDF]
Studies of global environmental change make extensive use of scenarios to explore how the future can evolve under a consistent set of assumptions. The recently developed Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) create a framework for the study of climate ...

Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.
