The impacts of climate change on the food system are a key concern for societies and policy makers globally. But crop growth is not the only factor that matters for the food production. Climate impacts on the labour force through increased heat stress also need to be considered.

Although effects on labour is one of the most tangible and attributable climate impact, our quantification of these effects is insufficient and based on weak methodologies. This study uses a new method to improve estimates of the effects of climate change on labour effectiveness.

The IPCC special report on climate change and land outlines how land is subject to human pressure in the Anthropocene. This report is a brief on the contents on the IPCC report.

This briefing summarises the impacts of global warming at and above 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels. Key information is extracted from the Special Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of its sixth assessment report cycle (AR6).

The IPCC Special Report shows how changes in ocean and cryosphere will continue for centuries and millennia even after emissions have seized. This report is a brief on the contents on the IPCC report.

This study assesses trajectories of adaptation readiness in comparison with the continued emergence of hot days as a proxy for climate change hazards for different emission and socio-economic pathways over the 21st century.
