Globally, 2023 was the warmest observed year on record since at least 1850 and, according to proxy evidence, possibly of past 100 000 years. As in recent years, warmth has again been accompanied with yet more extreme weather and climate events throughout world. Here, we provide an overview those 2023, details key background causes help build upon our understanding roles internal variability anthropogenic change.

In US cities, drives to secure property value against climate risks have become a preoccupation for mainstream finance. This real bias sidelines non-owners and inhabitants of historically marginalized housing types, limiting their capacity prepare recover from change events. this intervention, we survey major pathways existing finance, before turning emerging trends residential 'climate-proofing,' retrofitting efforts that bring finance 'home' the building level. Building on concept 'real supremacy,' demonstrate how resourcing response is limited by privileging in structure distribution low-carbon financial tools incentives. We argue reproduces hierarchies protection some, while exacerbating social inequalities, exclusions, predations others—ultimately, yielding greater control over futures those with asymmetrical power property. structurally unequal treatment locking-in extant embedded relationships instead seizing opportunities transform them via historic urban investments required change.

ABSTRACT In September 2024, the Yangtze River basin experienced a supremely extreme heatwave that broke historical records from at least 1961 and could have severe impact on outdoor health of school children. This paper provides timely analysis characteristics in its exposure to population aged 14 years below, causes led occurrence, as well future projections. regional average days reached 7.57 days, daily maximum temperature ( T max ) 31.53°C, both which are much higher than climatology exceed records. resulted high under, with provinces Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan, Jiangxi exposed more 100 million person‐days. The expansion South Asian High (SAH) Western Pacific Subtropical (WPSH) may directly contributed this heatwave. CMIP6 projections show frequency heatwaves similar 2024 will increase future.

Abstract Growing season heatwaves that occur simultaneously over global croplands can negatively impact food baskets. The long-term changes of growing heatwaves, as well their impacts on productivity, are crucial to security, but remain unclear. Here, we investigated in the frequency, intensity and magnitude from past future croplands, based observations Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models. We introduced an index, gross primary productivity (GPP) exposure, a proxy overall cropland productivity. results show frequency have increased since 1950 will continue throughout 21st century. increase annual accumulated is mainly contributed by heatwave frequency. This leads global-scale GPP exposure with Asia, North America, Europe being most affected. continued dominated increases rather than itself. Under lower emission scenario SSP1-2.6, reduce 86.11% 330.47% relative under SSP2-4.5 SSP5-8.5 scenarios, respectively, end Our provide insights into potential hence security.
