ADJUST1.5: When will 1.5°C of warming occur, and what will the consequences be?

Overview The 2015 Paris Agreement aims ‘to limit the temperature increase [due to climate change] to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels’ – but how will this be defined, and what will

ADMIT: Harmonising Adaptation and Mitigation for agriculture and water in China

Recent research suggests that food production in China could be threatened by the combined effects of climate change and other socio-economic drivers. The agricultural sector is responsible for roughly 20%

ADVANCE: Modelling Analysis of Climate Change Mitigation

Integrated assessment and energy-economy models are important tools for informing long-term global and regional climate mitigation strategies. Sound policy advice requires improved representations of complex system interactions and thorough validation

A bustling outdoor market with people shopping under tarps in heavy rain, water pouring off the shelters and collecting on the ground—each drop a testament to their resilience against a changing climate, with stories of endurance whispered among the crowd.

Ahon: stories and imaginaries of resilience and progress in a changing climate

Ahon, meaning ‘to rise up’, will capture people’s visions of a ‘good life’ in order to produce a values-based narrative of climate resilient development and set out ways to track progress and articulate aspirational goals based on lived realities and local knowledge systems.
