This briefing looks at what the 1.5°C limit means in terms of adaptation and loss and damage for the most vulnerable countries and regions. It finds that slowing down warming is critical to buy us time to adapt and also to avoid irreversible loss and damage. Even if warming rises above 1.5°C (overshoot) we can bring it down again with ambitious emissions reductions.

This study augments physical hydrological modeling with machine learning models to simulate surface water flows in Upper Indus water catchments in Pakistan.

Ce rapport examine ce que la limite de 1,5 °C signifie en termes d'adaptation et de pertes et dommages pour les pays et régions les plus vulnérables. Il constate qu'il est essentiel de ralentir le réchauffement pour nous donner le temps de nous adapter et pour éviter des pertes et des dommages irréversibles. Même si le réchauffement dépasse 1,5 °C, nous pouvons le faire baisser à nouveau en réduisant les émissions de manière ambitieuse.

Multiple relentless heatwaves occurred in 2023, with much of the world experiencing at least 20 more heatwave days than the 1991–2020 average. This study looks at prominent and record-breaking events around the world.

New study finds that the 2022 Indo-Pakistani heatwave was both more likely to occur and more intense due to increasing global warming – even when accounting for the effects of natural climate variability and the forced response to anthropogenic climate change.

Our Submission to the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Development 2024 offers advice on how to set up the administration and operationalisation of the Loss and Damage Fund with a human rights-based approach and a climate justice lens that supports the right to development.
