(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Multi-Criteria Assessment of Urban Thermal Hotspots: A GIS-Based Remote Sensing Approach in a Mediterranean Climate City

open access: yesRemote Sensing
One of the most significant urban challenges focuses on addressing the effects of urban overheating as a consequence of climate change. Several methods have been developed to characterize urban heat islands (UHIs); however, the most widely used involve ...

Shelters or ecological traps? Context‐dependent effects of nestboxes on breeding success in a colonial raptor

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

An Eco‐Social Policy Mix for 1.5°C Lifestyles: A Multi‐Country Policy Delphi Analysis

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bridging the gap between welfare and climate policies is essential for simultaneously pursuing increased well‐being and reduced carbon emissions. This study uses a policy Delphi approach, involving experts and stakeholders from five European countries: Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Spain, and Sweden, to assess the perceived desirability and ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

open access: yesSingapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

How Do Ideas Get in the Way of Policy Change? A Comparative Study of Homelessness Policy in Toronto and Montréal, Canada

open access: yesSocial Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While structural factors such as the allocation of resources and responsibilities have traditionally been seen as the key determinants of policy change and stability, the ideas of the people responsible for managing these resources can be just as consequential, especially in value‐laden policy areas such as combating homelessness.
