Non-technical summary We summarize what we assess as the past year's most important findings within climate change research: limits to adaptation, vulnerability hotspots, new threats coming from climate–health nexus, (im)mobility and security, sustainable practices for land use finance, losses damages, inclusive societal decisions ways overcome structural barriers accelerate mitigation limit global warming below 2°C. Technical synthesize 10 topics research where there have been significant...
Social norms are a key socio-cultural driver of human behaviour and have been identified as central process in potential social tipping dynamics. They play role governance thus represent possible intervention point for collective action problems the Anthropocene, such natural resource management.  A detailed modelling framework norm change is needed to capture dynamics societies their feedback interactions with environment. To date, use models often incorporate an oversimplified...
Worldwide, developments towards highly industrialized, conventional agriculture systems have led to ecological deterioration, as well societal problems. On the side, many Planetary Boundary transgressions can - in substantial parts be attributed agricultural developments: Land System Change, Biosphere Integrity, Climate Freshwater and Biogeochemical Flows were all found majorly impacted by agriculture. Social issues like worker health unstable livelihoods add dire picture.Many approaches...
Dynamic global vegetation models have been established as a useful tool in environmental and agricultural sciences for many purposes, e.g. modeling crop growth, fire disturbances, or biosphere-climate interactions. Nevertheless, DGVMs are often very limited terms of interactions with the anthroposphere, particularly human-Earth such LPJmL successfully connected to integrated assessment Remind-MAgPIE IMAGE. Still, model coupling those approaches remains loose static over simulation period....
In this paper we extend the use of a relational approach to simulation modelling, widely used knowledge practice in sustainability science. Among modellers, there is awareness that model results can only be interpreted view assumptions inform construction and analysis, but less systematic questioning those assumptions. Moreover, current methodological discussions tend focus on integrating social ecological dynamics or diverse knowledges data within model. Yet choices regarding types...
