This report, the first ever State of the World’s Migratory Species, reveals that the survival of more than 25% of migratory species is threatened by climate change.Read More →

A physiological approach for assessing human survivability and liveability to heat in a changing climate

November 2023
Jennifer Vanos, Gisel Guzman-Echavarria, Jane W. Baldwin, Coen Bongers, Kristie L. Ebi, Ollie Jay
Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study applies physiological and biophysical principles to improve current estimates of survivability and livability under current and future climates. The authors conclude that current methodologies vastly underestimate such risks.Read More →

The social costs of tropical cyclones

November 2023
Hazem Krichene, Thomas Vogt, Franziska Piontek, Tobias Geiger, Christof Schötz, Christian Otto
Nature Communications
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors study the persistent growth effects of damaging tropical cyclones, and find that accounting for tropical cyclone impacts on growth substantially increases the global social cost of carbon by more than 20%.Read More →
