The researchers find that, while migration in Bhutan is primarily done for economic, professional and aspirational reasons, climate change is a “background stressor” that drives migration by making rural livelihoods increasingly precarious.
The Recalibrating Climate Risk report explains why economic models used by governments, central banks and investors are increasingly understating climate risks as the world moves towards 2°C.
Economic models used by governments, central banks and investors are increasingly understating physical climate risk because they rely on assumptions that break down as the world moves toward higher levels of warming, according to a new report.
New analysis suggests the planet may be more sensitive to greenhouse gases than many models assume, meaning temperatures could rise faster and bring much greater climate risks than policymakers and financial institutions are planning for.
Climate change in Earth's polar regions is emerging as an under-recognised driver of global health risks, with consequences reaching far beyond the Arctic and Antarctic, researchers argue.
New research will model the risks and impact of using solar radiation modification (SRM) to build understanding of the radical process and address evidence gaps.
The world faces a "new reality" as we have reached the first of many Earth system tipping points that will cause catastrophic harm unless humanity takes urgent action, according to a landmark report released by the University of Exeter.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – a major transporter of heat to the north Atlantic and northwestern Europe – is unlikely to collapse this century, according to new research.
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.
