Populations around the world have already experienced increasing severity of extreme weather causing disaster displacement. Anthropogenic climate change can intensify these impacts. Extreme event attribution studies center question whether impactful events could occurred in a pre-industrial climate. Here, we argue that next step for science is to focus on those most vulnerable populations future extremes and impacts from change. Up until now, vulnerability dimension has not been systematically addressed studies, yet it would add urgently needed context, given vast differences adaptive capacity. We propose three integrative points cascade displacement linked anthropogenic

Abstract The human‐environmental system in drylands is centered on oases. Despite its extent and socio‐ecological importance, understanding the dynamic changes of global oases their human environmental driving forces imperative for sustainable development under warming. Nevertheless, how they respond to evolving environment are not well established. In this study, three criteria were summarized (i.e., existing dryland climates, surrounded or partially by desert terrain, having a reliable source freshwater forming landscape units with higher vegetation coverage/productivity). A oasis distribution map from 1995 2020 was generated using European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative Land Cover GIMMS‐3G+ data (overall accuracy within 95% confidence interval 0.85 ± 0.01) based overlay analysis visual interpretation. addition, we used geographic temporal weighted regression methods evaluate potential macro‐level elements affecting both local growth. result showed that area occupied an 191.91 Mha, most existed Asia (77.3%). has significantly increased (+8.65 Mha).

Abstract Since 2020, the progress towards achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2– Zero Hunger has faced a sudden stall due to an ongoing “polycrisis”. While some countries are on track, great effort is still globally necessary achieve SDG2 targets. Here we provide brief background about SDG2, including its synergies and trade-offs with other SDGs. We then identify discuss main challenges that pathway zero hunger will have tackle. The lack systemic approach, together complex, global, nested dimensions food systems identified as key elements be carefully considered when designing sustainability strategies. This means variety stakeholders called simultaneously cooperatively act multiple fronts ensure safe, equal, just all populations SDG2.

Abstract Drylands in sub-Saharan Africa are strongly affected by the impacts of climate change. Temperature increases, changes rainfall patterns, and land degradation pose serious threats to food security, health, water availability region. The increase livelihood insecurity can turn trigger migration as a way adapt or cope with stress. Based on 89 original case studies, this study uses review meta-analytical techniques systematically explore relationship between environmental change, adaptation, rural areas drylands. We show that households use diverse range strategies respond hardships different ecological contexts. While is common some communities, it less relevance others, take various forms. Our findings indicate often used complementary strategy other forms which vary depending situational needs. cluster analysis identify adaptation clusters how linked response differ socioeconomic conditions. find serve last resort measure for highly vulnerable groups, be combination in-situ diversifying income adapting agricultural practices. results have important implications highlighting role local conditions coping understanding migration.

In a strongly interconnected world, extreme and compound events pose systemic risks to food security populations already vulnerable the impacts of climate change. Pre-existing vulnerabilities can also compound, interfering with adaptation strategies affecting human migration patterns. While some drivers vulnerability are known on normative level, there remains critical gap relationship between risk, insecurity outcomes. We use risk impact pathway (SRIP) model gain data-driven insights in Somalia. By applying data weather insecure internally displaced from 2011 2019 we isolate different components show how they relate drivers. Our findings contribute empirical evidence limits indicating that act as 'roadblocks' for security. argue systems design provide guardrails resilience opportunities where overstretch fragile levels.

Climate change seriously threatens human systems, properties and livelihoods. Global projections suggest a continuous increase in the frequency severity of weather events, with severe outcomes. Although trends impacts are highly variable depending on location, most studies tend to concentrate either urban or rural areas, little focus peri-urban areas. Yet, Sub-Saharan Africa, areas display unique characteristics: inadequate infrastructure, unplanned development, weak governance, environmental degradation, all which exacerbate flood impact thus need academic attention. This study contributes filling this gap by assessing vulnerability roads Accra its implications for mobility. Based fieldwork, delineated analysed potential zones within research locations. The researchers calculated roads’ absolute relative lengths, using spatial overlay (intersection) potentially flooded total road network grid cells 500 m m. These measures were adopted used as exposure measures. findings revealed that over 80% lengths between 100 exposed floods. Some had higher indices, ranging from 1.5 km 3.2 0.8 1.0. There significant variations neighbourhoods. Depending depth duration floodwater, residents may be unable access their homes carry out daily activities. In conclusion, highlights differential flooding recommends targeted provision flood-resilient infrastructure promote sustainable development.
