What is a heat(wave)? An interdisciplinary perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Excessive summer heat is becoming people’s daily reality creating an urgency to understand heatwaves and their consequences better. This article suggests an interdisciplinary analytical framework of heat(waves) as multiple ... -
Developing countries’ responsibilities for CO2 emissions in value chains are larger and growing faster than those of developed countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Carbon emissions associated with international trade are significant. The emergence of complex global value chains (GVCs) in recent decades, in which a country can operate as both a consumer and producer simultaneously, ... -
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 ... -
Global Carbon Budget 2023
(Journal article, 2023)Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to better understand the global carbon ... -
Implications of differences between recent anthropogenic aerosol emission inventories for diagnosed AOD and radiative forcing from 1990 to 2019
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study focuses on implications of differences between recent global emissions inventories for simulated trends in anthropogenic aerosol abundances and radiative forcing (RF) over the 1990–2019 period. We use the ECLIPSE ... -
The Time Scales of Climate Responses to Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The climate system responds to changes in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases or aerosols through rapid processes, triggered within hours and days, and through slower processes, where the full response may only be ... -
Assessment of short-term heat effects on cardiovascular mortality and vulnerability factors using small area data in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Short-term associations between heat and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have been examined mostly in large cities. However, different vulnerability and exposure levels may contribute to spatial heterogeneity. This ... -
Prevent or repair? Experimental evidence from providing incentives for climate resilient housing in Vietnam
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present results from a randomized field experiment in Da Nang in Central Vietnam. We assess the take-up and impacts of a microcredit program that aims to increase the adoption of climate resilient housing among low-income ... -
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)Purpose 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 ... -
Natural short-lived halogens exert an indirect cooling effect on climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Observational evidence shows the ubiquitous presence of ocean-emitted short-lived halogens in the global atmosphere1,2,3. Natural emissions of these chemical compounds have been anthropogenically amplified since pre-industrial ... -
A multi-model assessment of the Global Warming Potential of hydrogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With increasing global interest in molecular hydrogen to replace fossil fuels, more attention is being paid to potential leakages of hydrogen into the atmosphere and its environmental consequences. Hydrogen is not directly ... -
Neglected implications of land-use and land-cover changes on the climate-health nexus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change can substantially affect temperature-related mortality and morbidity, especially under high greenhouse gas emission pathways. Achieving the Paris Agreement goals require not only drastic reductions in fossil ... -
Changes in design precipitation over the Nordic-Baltic region as given by convection-permitting climate simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The increased risk of flooding due to global warming and subsequent heavy rainfall events in the Nordic-Baltic region, call for recommendations directed at long-term planning. One example of such recommendations are climate ... -
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not clear how this would impact future warming. Here, we use ... -
A “greenhouse gas balance” for aviation in line with the Paris Agreement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The effects of aviation on climate pose unique policy challenges. A large fraction of the CO2 emissions (65%) is international and not (explicitly) included in the Paris Agreement. The interpretation of Article 4.1 on ... -
What If Country Commitments for CO2 Removal Were Based on Responsibility for Historical Emissions?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study explored the consequences of allocating commitments to remove CO2 to countries according to their responsibility for human-made climate change based on historical (cumulative) CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use ... -
Does polycentrism deliver? A case study of energy community governance in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European Union's Clean Energy Package (CEP) plans to transform ‘passive consumers’ into ‘active citizens’ to support the transition to a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. By stimulating the growth of renewable ...
