Numerical simulation and evaluation of global ultrafine particle concentrations at the Earth's surface
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A new global dataset of annually averaged ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations at the Earth's surface for the years 2015–2017 has been developed through numerical simulations using the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry ... -
Quantification of hydraulic trait control on plant hydrodynamics and risk of hydraulic failure within a demographic structured vegetation model in a tropical forest (FATES-HYDRO V1.0)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vegetation plays a key role in the global carbon cycle and thus is an important component within Earth system models (ESMs) that project future climate. Many ESMs are adopting methods to resolve plant size and ecosystem ... -
Varieties of approaches to constructing physical climate storylines: A review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The physical climate storyline (PCS) approach is increasingly recognized by the physical climate research community as a tool to produce and communicate decision-relevant climate risk information. While PCS is generally ... -
Environmental and nutritional assessment of young children’s diets in Norway: comparing the current diet with national dietary guidelines and the EAT-Lancet reference diet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introducing healthy and sustainable diets early in life can promote lifelong healthy dietary patterns with a low environmental impact. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the environmental and nutritional consequences of a ... -
Impact of heat on all-cause and cause-specific mortality: A multi-city study in Texas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Studies on the health effects of heat are particularly limited in Texas, a U.S. state in the top 10 highest number of annual heat-related deaths per capita from 2018 to 2020. This study assessed the effects of heat on ... -
Consumption-based emission inventories in Nordic municipalities—a quest to develop support for local climate action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Municipalities can play a large role in achieving global climate targets. Integrating a consumption-based perspective is key to being able to mitigate global emissions. We conducted a survey among municipality officials ... -
Climate Change, Summer Temperature, and Heat-Related Mortality in Finland: Multicohort Study with Projections for a Sustainable vs. Fossil-Fueled Future to 2050
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change scenarios illustrate various pathways in terms of global warming ranging from “sustainable development” (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP1-1.9), the best-case scenario, to ‘fossil-fueled development’ (SSP5-8.5), ... -
The Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (Emissions-MIP): Quantifying model sensitivity to emission characteristics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic emissions of aerosols and precursor compounds are known to significantly affect the energy balance of the Earth–atmosphere system, alter the formation of clouds and precipitation, and have a substantial impact ... -
A machine learning approach targeting parameter estimation for plant functional type coexistence modeling using ELM-FATES (v2.0)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tropical forest dynamics play a crucial role in the global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, realistically simulating the dynamics of competition and coexistence between different plant functional types (PFTs) in ... -
Trends in atmospheric methane concentrations since 1990 were driven and modified by anthropogenic emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The atmospheric methane trend is not fully understood. Here we investigate the role of the main sink, the main natural source, and anthropogenic emissions on the methane growth rate over the last three decades using numerical ... -
An environmental justice analysis of air pollution in India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to the lack of timely data on socioeconomic factors (SES), little research has evaluated if socially disadvantaged populations are disproportionately exposed to higher PM2.5 concentrations in India. We fill this gap ... -
Spatial and sector-specific contributions of emissions to ambient air pollution and mortality in European cities: a health impact assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ambient air pollution is a major risk to health and wellbeing in European cities. We aimed to estimate spatial and sector-specific contributions of emissions to ambient air pollution and evaluate the effects of source-specific ... -
Intermediating climate change: the evolving strategies, interactions and impacts of neglected “climate intermediaries”
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change governance systems comprise a wide variety of actors. Here, we introduce “climate intermediaries” as one potentially influential yet often neglected type of actor, behaving as “go-betweens” that connect ... -
Can renewable energy communities enable a just energy transition? Exploring alignment between stakeholder motivations and needs and EU policy in Latvia, Norway, Portugal and Spain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As a response to societal polarisation and mobilisation against the clean energy transition and renewable energy projects, policy makers at EU level have put focus on renewable energy communities as an instrument to drive ... -
Does a change in the 'global net zero' language matter?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Changes in language used in long term climate policy can undermine their credibility and discourage climate action. Previous IPCC reports have promoted an idea of reaching ‘global net zero’ (GNZ) emissions by 2050 in order ... -
Intermediating climate change: conclusions and new research directions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The urgency and threats of climate change have elevated the issue to a prominent – albeit often contested – position within the policy process. Resultantly, climate politics and climate change governance have received ... -
Assessing heat effects on respiratory mortality and location characteristics as modifiers of heat effects at a small area scale in Central-Northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Heat effects on respiratory mortality are known, mostly from time-series studies of city-wide data. A limited number of studies have been conducted at the national level or covering non-urban areas. Effect modification by ... -
Steady global surface warming from 1973 to 2022 but increased warming rate after 1990
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The change in global mean surface temperature is a crucial and broadly used indicator of the evolution of climate change. Any decadal scale changes in warming rate are however obfuscated by internal variability. Here we ... -
Estimating vanishing allowable emissions for 1.5 °C
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The remaining carbon budget for 1.5 °C has been a highly discussed tool to communicate the urgency of efforts needed to meet the Paris Agreement. Now, research reassesses IPCC estimates, suggesting that ongoing near-flat ... -
The Regional Aerosol Model Intercomparison Project (RAMIP)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Changes in anthropogenic aerosol emissions have strongly contributed to global and regional trends in temperature, precipitation, and other climate characteristics and have been one of the dominant drivers of decadal trends ...
