    Mission

    npj Climate and Atmospheric Science is an open access journal covering the relevant physical, chemical and biological components of atmospheric and climate science. An area of particular focus for the journal is regional studies, which demonstrate new understanding of a particular locality, including studies of local atmospheric composition, including aerosols.

    Earth observations for climate adaptation: tracking progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation through satellite-derived indicators

    This Perspective explores how space-based Earth Observation (EO) data can support tracking progress under the Paris Agreement's Global Goal on Adaptation.

    Accelerated shifts from heatwaves to heavy rainfall in a changing climate

    The study examines the changes in the time interval of consecutive heatwave and heavy rainfall (HW-HR) events in China from 1970 to 2019, using meteorological data from over 2000 stations across mainland China.

    Global disparities in rural and urban population exposure to compound drought and heatwave events

    This study analyzed compound drought and heatwave events (CDHWs) exposure in both rural and urban populations and found that the number of people chronically exposed to CDHWs has shown a clear upward trend over time.

    Attribution of summer 2022 extreme wildfire season in Southwest France to anthropogenic climate change

    This study is assessing the role of anthropogenic climate change in the occurrence of prolonged extreme climate conditions favourable for the development of summer 2022 Landes wildfires.

    Future climate-driven escalation of Southeastern Siberia wildfires revealed by deep learning

    By using reanalysis data and climate model output together with a deep learning model, the study explores the relationship between positive-phase North Atlantic Tripole (NAT) sea-surface temperature anomalies and Southeastern Siberia wildfire increases.

    Climate resilient development pathways boost inclusive national adaptation action

    The study emphasizes integrating climate-resilient pathways into national adaptation plans to ensure inclusivity. It calls for cross-sectoral coordination to address social inequality, enhance disaster risk reduction, and promote economic diversification.

    Convection-permitting climate models offer more certain extreme rainfall projections

    In this publication, researchers exploit the km-scale convection-permitting multi-model ensemble, generated within the FPS Convection project, to provide a new understanding of the changes in local precipitation extremes and related uncertainties.

    Voluntary Commitments

    The organization has no registered commitments.

    The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
