Summary: Permafrost thaw is causing significant changes in the Arctic and posing risks to both residents and the global climate. However, it is largely excluded from policy dialogues at all levels. It is important to reduce scientific uncertainty, align scientific outputs with climate policy needs, and develop equitable climate adaptation plans to address the hazards of permafrost thaw.

Summary: Climate services are tools or products to support climate-informed decision making for adaptation to climate change. The market is mainly dominated by public institutions, but efforts have been made to increase private enterprise involvement. The business model perspective is proposed to drive market growth, yet there is a lack of structured knowledge on approaching climate service design and development from a business model standpoint.

Summary: The article discusses the need for a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate risks caused by climate change. The study estimates the CO2 emissions embedded in the broader climate transition using a set of models. The results suggest that while emissions from adaptation-related interventions are relatively low, emissions from deploying renewable energy capacity are much higher. The article emphasizes the importance of considering emissions from mitigation actions and highlights the potential for reducing emissions through ambitious energy decarbonization efforts.

Summary: One of the adverse impacts of climate change on human health is the increase in allergic respiratory diseases. This is caused by the effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature on airborne allergens such as pollen and fungal spores. This review discusses these effects and explores three translational mitigation approaches for improved health outcomes.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of uncertainty and time flexibility in investment in climate change adaptation and mitigation, highlighting the limitations in current modeling and research on the uncertainty associated with climate change, as well as the focus on decisions made by risk neutral profit maximizers. Further research is needed to address the identified gaps.

Summary: Africa is facing various climate change hazards, impacting food security, biodiversity loss, water crises, and infectious diseases. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) offers an important opportunity to address vulnerabilities and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, there is limited integration of mitigation and adaptation outcomes, and a structured approach is needed to scale up the implementation of EbA mitigation synergies across Africa.

Summary: This study examines the impact of climate change knowledge, anxiety, and experience on climate adaptation among farmers. The results show that climate change anxiety and knowledge significantly enhance climate change adaptation, while climate change experience has an inverse relationship with climate change adaptation. Moreover, farmers engaged in mixed farming, partnership and cooperation/organization, and with a certain level of monthly income demonstrate significantly higher climate change adaptation.

Summary: This study analyzes the level of climate change mitigation and adaptation practices adopted by Brazilian industrial companies and their relationship with corporate performance. The findings indicate that Brazilian industrial companies have been adopting both mitigation and adaptation practices and show that these practices are related to different dimensions of corporate performance.

Summary: This study conducted semi-structured interviews with hazard planning professionals who were involved in preparing county-level hazard mitigation plans in Washington State. The findings suggest that collaboration dynamics occurred during the planning processes, but important participants were reportedly missing, raising concerns about the plans' reflection of local needs.

Summary: There is increasing recognition of the important role individuals play in reducing GHG emissions. A systematic literature review was conducted, finding that climate adaptation behaviors are strongly driven by income, leading to climate inequality. Education and environmental knowledge, rather than income, were found to be more important drivers for climate mitigation behaviors. To reduce climate inequality, policymakers should target vulnerable populations based on their ability to adapt and implement educational outreach and information campaigns to encourage GHG mitigation activities among individuals and households.

Summary: The theory that climate change apathy is caused by inadequate knowledge does not fully explain why informed and concerned individuals fail to take action. This study found that self-efficacy for climate change acts as a mediator between specific climate change knowledge and attitude towards mitigation. Risk communication interventions that provide climate change information and develop efficacy for mitigation behavior can motivate pro-environmental attitudes.

Summary: Coastal adaptation aims to reduce the impacts of climate-induced sea-level rise and land elevation changes on coastal cities, especially those on sinking deltas. Therefore, managing land subsidence is crucial for coastal cities facing relative sea-level rise projections up to 2050.
