  • Critical intervention points for European adaptation to cascading climate change impacts

    Open AccessCornelia Auer, Christopher Reyer et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2025

    In an interconnected world, climate change impacts can cascade across sectors and regions, creating systemic risks. Here we analyse cascading climate change impacts on the EU, originating from outside the region, and identify critical intervention points for adaptation. Using network analysis, we integrate stakeholder-co-produced impact chains with quantitative data for 102 countries across foreign policy, human security, trade and finance. Our a…

  • Emission savings through the COP26 declaration of deforestation could come at the expense of non-forest land conversion

    Open AccessAbhijeet Mishra, Florian Humpenöder et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The majority of signatories to The United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2021 (COP26) made a declaration to end deforestation by 2030. Here, we quantify future changes in land use and associated CO 2 emissions to examine the impact of ending deforestation by 2030 on global land dynamics and emissions using an open-source land-use model. We show that if the COP26 declaration to end deforestation is fully implemented globally, about 167 Mha o…

  • Cross‐border dimensions of Arctic climate change impacts and implications for Europe

    Open AccessClaire Mosoni, Mikael Hildén et al.ARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 15

    The Arctic has warmed almost four times faster than the rest of the globe during the past four decades. This has led to multiple impacts in the Arctic such as the melting of glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet, sea ice retreat, permafrost thaw, altered species distribution and abundance, changes in hydrology and snow conditions, and altered wildfire regimes. These documented and projected impacts in the region can also propagate across borders, …

  • Roadmap to develop a stress test for forest ecosystem services supply

    Open AccessK Kramer, Laura Bouriaud et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

    Forests play a key role in a bio-based economy by providing renewable materials, mitigating climate change, and accommodating biodiversity. However, forests experience massive increases in stresses in their ecological and socioeconomic environments, threatening forest ecosystem services supply. Alleviating those stresses is hampered by conflicting and disconnected governance arrangements, competing interests and claims, and rapid changes in techn…

  • Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes

    Young generations are severely threatened by climate change

  • Climate change reduces winter overland travel across the Pan-Arctic even under low-end global warming scenarios

    Open AccessAnne Gädeke, Moritz Langer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Amplified climate warming has led to permafrost degradation and a shortening of the winter season, both impacting cost-effective overland travel across the Arctic. Here we use, for the first time, four state-of-the-art Land Surface Models that explicitly consider ground freezing states, forced by a subset of bias-adjusted CMIP5 General Circulation Models to estimate the impact of different global warming scenarios (RCP2.6, 6.0, 8.5) on two modes …

  • A conceptual framework for cross-border impacts of climate change

    Open AccessTimothy R Carter, Magnus Benzie et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2021Citada por: 9Referencias: 1

    Climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability studies tend to confine their attention to impacts and responses within the same geographical region. However, this approach ignores cross-border climate change impacts that occur remotely from the location of their initial impact and that may severely disrupt societies and livelihoods. We propose a conceptual framework and accompanying nomenclature for describing and analysing such cross-borde…

  • Pronounced and unavoidable impacts of low-end global warming on northern high-latitude land ecosystems

    Open AccessAkihiko Ito, Christopher P O Reyer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Arctic ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of Arctic amplification. Here, we assessed the climatic impacts of low-end, 1.5 °C, and 2.0 °C global temperature increases above pre-industrial levels, on the warming of terrestrial ecosystems in northern high latitudes (NHL, above 60 °N including pan-Arctic tundra and boreal forests) under the framework of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project phase 2b pro…

  • The role of beliefs, expectations and values in decision-making favoring climate change adaptation—implications for communications with European forest professionals

    Open AccessKristina Blennow, Johannes Persson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Beliefs, expectations and values are often assumed to drive decisions about climate change adaptation. We tested hypotheses based on this assumption using survey responses from 508 European forest professionals in ten countries. We used the survey results to identify communication needs and the decision strategies at play, and to develop guidelines on adequate communications about climate change adaptation. We observed polarization in the positiv…

  • Buildings as a global carbon sink

  • Inconsistent recognition of uncertainty in studies of climate change impacts on forests

    Open AccessMichal Petr, Giorgio Vacchiano et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Background. Uncertainty about climate change impacts on forests can hinder mitigation and adaptation actions. Scientific enquiry typically involves assessments of uncertainties, yet different uncertainty components emerge in different studies. Consequently, inconsistent understanding of uncertainty among different climate impact studies (from the impact analysis to implementing solutions) can be an additional reason for delaying action. In this r…

  • Balancing trade-offs between ecosystem services in Germany’s forests under climate change

    Open AccessMartin Gutsch, Petra Lasch‐Born et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Germany's forests provide a variety of ecosystem services. Sustainable forest management aims to optimize the provision of these services at regional level. However, climate change will impact forest ecosystems and subsequently ecosystem services. The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of two alternative management scenarios and climate impacts on forest variables indicative of ecosystem services related to timber, habitat, water,…

  • Social vulnerability to climate change

    Open AccessIlona M Otto, Diana Reckien et al.ARTICLERegional Environmental Change2017

    This article provides a review of recent scientific literature on social vulnerability to climate change, aiming to determine which social and demographic groups, across a wide range of geographical locations, are the most vulnerable to climate change impacts within four well-being dimensions: health, safety, food security, and displacement. We analyze how vulnerability changes over time and ask whether there is evidence of critical thresholds be…

  • Assessing the impacts of 1.5 °C global warming – simulation protocol of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (Isimip2b)

    Open AccessKatja Frieler, Stefan Lange et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2017

    In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a special report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. In Nairobi, Kenya, April 2016, the IPCC panel accepted the invitation. Here we describe th…

  • Assessing inter-sectoral climate change risks

    Open AccessCynthia Rosenzweig, Nigel W Arnell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    The aims of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) are to provide a framework for the intercomparison of global and regional-scale risk models within and across multiple sectors and to enable coordinated multi-sectoral assessments of different risks and their aggregated effects. The overarching goal is to use the knowledge gained to support adaptation and mitigation decisions that require regional or global perspectives …

  • Are forest disturbances amplifying or canceling out climate change-induced productivity changes in European forests

    Open AccessChristopher Reyer, Stephen Bathgate et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either the effects of climate change on productivity or on disturbances. However, productivity and disturbances are intrinsically linked because 1) disturbances directly affect forest productivity (e.g. via a reduction in leaf area, growing stock or resource-use efficiency), and 2) disturbance susceptibility is often coupled to a certain development phase of the fo…
