Abstract Non-technical summary We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability implications overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for rapid managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future contribution sinks, (5) intertwinedness crises biodiversity loss change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain...
The WCRP Academy is the research training advisory and coordination arm of the World Climate Research Program. It is flagship activity for WCRP´s mission: “to develop, share, apply climate knowledge that contributes to societal well-being” works equip current future scientists with knowledge, skills attributes required tackle world’s most pressing challenging questions.The foundation Academy an online portal connects providers...
Following typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, the government of Philippines organized massive housing reconstruction programs that are currently facing complex implementation issues. The present study investigated mechanisms three types (i.e. owner-driven on-site reconstruction, community-driven off-site relocation and contractor-driven relocation) discussed sustainability challenges by assessing gaps between community needs program performance, measured through level beneficiary satisfaction....
In October 2013, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the province of Bohol, Philippines and induced land subsidence to some its small island communities, causing them now experience over-flooding during normal spring tides.The present research discusses recovery adaptation strategies one these Isla Batasan, which suffers from knee-level, complete inundation +2.0m high results indicate that, although local government is encouraging Batasan residents relocate mainland via government-funded...

Using a case study approach, this research explores the various potential limiting factors of climate change adaptation, based on experience four low-lying islands in central Philippines. In aftermath 2013 7.2-magnitude Bohol earthquake, now become flooded even during normal spring tides. Results show that, while development problems can constrain adaptive capacity against hazards, outlook affected communities about their future home may ultimately determine limits adaptation. As social play...
