Abstract This article discusses “academic housekeeping” undertaken within IPCC, understood as the work that is rarely made visible or rewarded, but nevertheless essential to success of organization. It explores conditions, motivations, and implications for individual researchers involved in with particular emphasis on invisible, un(der)recognised unrewarded they engage in. The empirical material consists an interview study IPCC assessment work. concludes a discussion experts, expert organisations, academic institutions.

Abstract This perspective article explores the role of data visualisation in decision-making under deep uncertainty (DMDU), a growing discipline tackling complex socio-environmental challenges, such as climate impacts and adaptation, natural resource management, preparedness for extreme events. We discuss both analysis (or exploratory ) purposes, well communication explanatory including to stakeholders public. identify lack comprehensive guidelines on how visualisations are currently used their potential enhancing DMDU processes. Drawing literature insights from recent workshop, we key challenges analysts face when visualising data: managing complexity dimensionality, effectively communicating uncertainty, ensuring user engagement interpretability. propose research agenda address these by taxonomising evaluating effectiveness different visual forms contexts, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. argue that, through efforts, can improve usability analyses, ultimately aiding more informed adaptive uncertainty.

Abstract For environmental governance research (EGR) to be actionable catalyze solutions for challenges in policy and praxis, it must allow knowledge cumulation that demonstrates the applicability of EGR existing future issues, improves robustness validity EGR, identifies conditions, causal mechanisms other underlying features governance. It is recognized cannot produce such without integrating various disciplines connect issues with their political dimensions implications. Yet, resembles a “fragmented adhocracy” lacks standardized theoretical frameworks, concepts, approaches. To overcome this disciplinary fragmentation develop effectively aggregate evidence, critical understand processes identify practices can impede integration knowledge. This narrative review examines argue (1) lies interdisciplinary integration; (2) will only fulfill its goals informing praxis if between researchers considered as precondition

Abstract Moving away from hazardous areas may be an important adaptive response under intensifying climate change, but to date such movement has been controversial and conducted with limited government or private-sector support. Research emphasized resident perspectives on mobility, understanding how professionals view it open new avenues shape future outcomes. Based 76 interviews involved in responses South Florida, we evaluate perceptions of adaptation goals, the potential role mobilities pathways supporting those associated constraints enablers. The practitioners interviewed anticipate multiple types will occur region, at increasing scales. Interviewees perceive present, especially migration gentrification where plays some role, as causing distributional inequities financial sociocultural disruptions, they existing strategies best serving who already have adequate resources, despite practitioners’ personal commitments social justice goals. Although many feel prepared for their own, roles related mobilities, judge region a whole being unprepared support retreat see inevitable, need more ambitious long-term transition plan. Achieving this difficult, indicate that remain hard talk about politically. Nevertheless, interviewees believe households are considering moving risks. Discussions through far beyond, encourage mindful choices engagement climate-driven transformations.
