The need to adapt climate change is now widely recognised as evidence of its impacts on social and natural systems grows greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. Yet efforts change, reported in the literature over last decade selected case studies, have not led substantial rates implementation adaptation actions despite investments science. Moreover, implemented been mostly incremental focused proximate causes; there are far fewer reports more systemic or transformative actions. We found...

On 25 September, 2015, world leaders met at the United Nations in New York, where they adopted Sustainable Development Goals. These 17 goals and 169 targets set out an agenda for sustainable development all nations that embraces economic growth, social inclusion, environmental protection. Now, moves from agreeing to implementing ultimately achieving them. Across goals, 42 focus on means of implementation, final goal, Goal 17, is entirely devoted implementation. However, these implementation...

Climate and weather variables such as rainfall, temperature, pressure are indicators for hazards tropical cyclones, floods, fires. The impact of these events can be due to a single variable being in an extreme state, but more often it is the result combination not all which necessarily extreme. Here, or that lead referred compound event. Any given event will depend upon nature number physical variables, range spatial temporal scales, strength dependence between processes, perspective...

Pursuing integrated research and decision-making to advance action on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) fundamentally depends understanding interactions between SDGs, both negative ones ("trade-offs") positive ("co-benefits"). This quest, triggered by 2030 Agenda, has however pointed a gap in current policy analysis regarding how think systematically about across SDGs. paper synthesizes experiences insights from application of new conceptual framework for mapping assessing SDG using...

With weakening prospects of prompt mitigation, it is increasingly likely that the world will experience 4°C and more global warming. In such a world, adaptation decisions have long lead times or implications playing out over many decades become uncertain complex. Adapting to warming cannot be seen as mere extrapolation 2°C; substantial, continuous transformative process. However, variety psychological, social institutional barriers are exacerbated by uncertainty timeframes, with danger...

Non-technical summary It is no longer possible nor desirable to address the dual challenges of equity and sustainability separately. Instead, they require new thinking approaches which recognize their interlinkages, as well multiple perspectives dimensions involved. We illustrate how are intertwined, a complex social–ecological systems lens brings together advances from across social natural sciences show (in)equity (un)sustainability produced by interactions dynamics coupled systems. This...

Decadal predictions have a high profile in the climate science community and beyond, yet very little is known about their skill. Nor there any agreed protocol for estimating This paper proposes sound coordinated framework verification of decadal hindcast experiments. The illustrated hindcasts tailored to meet requirements specifications CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5). chosen metrics address key questions information content initialized hindcasts. These are: (1) Do...

The United Nations (UN) launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to address an ongoing crisis: human pressure leading unprecedented environmental degradation, climatic change, social inequality, and other negative planet-wide consequences. This crisis stems from a dramatic increase in appropriation of natural resources keep pace with rapid population growth, dietary shifts toward higher consumption animal products, demand energy (1, 2). There is increased recognition that Goals...

Rapid urbanisation generates risks and opportunities for sustainable development. Urban policy decision makers are challenged by the complexity of cities as social–ecological–technical systems. Consequently there is an increasing need collaborative knowledge development that supports a whole-of-system view, transformational change at multiple scales. Such holistic urban approaches rare in practice. A co-design process involving researchers, practitioners other stakeholders, has progressed...
