Unlocking global climate finance: Governments must champion carbon markets

While governments worldwide are stepping up to support voluntary carbon markets, now is the time to scale climate finance with integrity and impact, Chris Duck from Climate Impact Partners argues.

(1) POSEIDON, an agent-based model simulating fleet dynamics and fisher behaviour; (2) CMSY++, a stock assessment model for data-limited fisheries; (3) Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE), representing ecosystem interactions and bioflow; (4) Value Chain model, linking ecological and economic processes along the product flow; and (5) Fish Market model, capturing feedback between fisheries and market prices. These modular models can operate independently or be coupled to explore in-silico scenarios for holistic fisheries management.

COP30 in Belém: Leadership between two worlds

Professor Richard Beardsworth continues his analysis of expectations for COP30 in Belém, as he navigates leadership between two realms, one rules-based and co-operative, the other nationalist-populist and centrifugal.
Snapshot of ocean current speed, in the top 50 m of the ocean, in the parts of the Arctic and North Atlantic Ocean, near Greenland. Note the higher velocities with the main boundary currents, as well as the many vigorous small-scale feature, such as circular eddies and rings.

Modelling ocean currents in a changing climate

Paul Myers, Professor at the University of Alberta, emphasizes the necessity for a new generation of very high-resolution computer models to effectively understand how ocean currents will change in a warming climate.

The challenges around the fastness of natural dyes for textiles

Victor Durand from Ever Dye sheds light on the challenges surrounding the fastness of natural textile dyes. Dive into his insights, and learn why this issue is crucial for the future of the textile industry.

Mounting water scarcity: A complex challenge requiring nuanced solutions

Addressing increasing water scarcity is a complex challenge that requires nuanced solutions, according to Peter Greve from the Climate Service Center Germany.
Permafrost Grown team members Melissa Ward Jones and Benjamin Gaglioti inspect thaw subsidence in a birch forest adjacent to a farm. An ice wedge trough is made visible through thaw subsidence and caused trees to lean is seen running along the center of the image.

Cryptic ground ice conditions in permafrost and northern agricultural expansion

Permafrost conditions are often heterogeneous and concealed beneath the surface, becoming evident only when thawing occurs. Melissa Ward Jones discusses these challenges and highlights a new publication that identifies ice wedges for the first time in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska.

Knowledge tipping points: Co-creating rainforest futures

The article highlights the importance of envisioning multiple futures for human and rainforest coexistence. It emphasizes forest conviviality and knowledge co-creation, drawing insights from the PRODIGY research project, which shows that knowledge systems are essential for socioecological resilience.

Michael Wasserman of Indiana University discusses interactions among the chemical exposome, microbes, and hormones in wild primates.
Figure 1: Climate change and the labour share in the U.S. (1950-2019) Note: Hot days are defined as days with an average temperature during working hours exceeding 77oF. Panel (a): County-level exposure to hot days is aggregated at the national level, weighted by county employment in 2000 from the County Business Pattern. The aggregate labour share is taken from the headline figure provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.Panel (b): A scatterplot of the statewide labour share against the prior decade average of hot days per year across the U.S. in 2019. Hot days are the 2010 employment-weighted average of hot days during 2010–2019 across counties. The bubble size captures the denominator of labour share (i.e., GDP) in 2019.

Climate change reduced the labour share in the 21st Century

Masahiro Yoshida, from Waseda University’s Department of Political Science and Economics, presents a new theory and evidence linking climate change to the decline of labour share.
