Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02222-9 Vocal communication is essential for information transmission in many species, such as that related to mating opportunities or predator presence. Recent research revealing how phenotypic changes brought about by a changing climate may influence vocal communication raises some serious concerns for conservation management.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 19 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02217-6 Soil models include a key parameter known as carbon use efficiency, which impacts estimates of global carbon storage by determining the flow of carbon into soil pools versus the atmosphere. Microbial-explicit versions of these models are due for an update that recasts carbon use efficiency as…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 18 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02215-8 The hottest boreal summer on record has driven widespread humid heat mortality across every continent of the Northern Hemisphere. With critical physiological limits to human heat tolerance drawing ever closer, this Comment highlights the urgent need to limit further climate warming and emphasizes the adaptation challenge…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 13 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02213-w A carbon tax will not curb current emissions in sub-Saharan Africa and is unlikely to prevent future carbon lock-in effects. Meanwhile, a carbon tax could hit the poor in this region, thus the international community should be careful in pushing sub-Saharan Africa towards carbon taxation.

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02214-9 The year 2024 has once again been characterized by a large number of devastating climate-related hazards. While many of these events were likely to have been exacerbated by climate change, they also provide drastic reminders of the degree to which humans can influence whether a meteorological…
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02196-8 The tipping points framing is widely used in climate discussions but receives mixed feedback. This Perspective critiques it for oversimplifying the complexities of natural and social systems and failing to drive effective action, and offers recommendations for future improvements.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02181-1 A rigorous analysis of twenty-first-century multi-hazard exposure for US Southeast Atlantic coastal communities indicates that up to 70% of residents will be exposed daily to shallow and emerging groundwater by approximately 2100. This threat further exacerbates the impacts of other coastal stressors, such as flooding, beach…
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02202-z Recent discussions have raised concerns about the long-term effectiveness of coral reef restoration efforts, questioning whether current interventions can effectively address the ongoing loss of reef ecosystems. However, details matter and vary greatly with respect to scale, social context and benefits, and diverse approaches are needed…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02180-2 Multiple climate-related coastal hazards could impact people, infrastructure and ecosystems, yet previous works often focused on flooding only. By analysing the future exposure to four types of hazard along the US Southeast Atlantic coast, this research emphasizes the risks beyond flooding.

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 18 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02183-z Wildfires are raging around the globe with increasing intensity and frequency, transforming ecosystems and affecting the climate of regions far beyond. Now, a study shows that boreal forest fires are amplifying Arctic warming due to increased local solar absorption from biomass burning aerosols.
