Our new article, Research Priorities for Climate Mobility, outlines key areas to improve our understanding and planning for the movement of human populations in response to the current realities and future risks from climate change.

We recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to explore climate change risks to sport. Excellent opportunity on on the frontiers of climate risks and adaptation options for a sector of major economic and cultural importance globally acdi.uct.ac.za/opportunities
Our new paper out today in Global Environmental Change highlights the relationships between perceptions and experiences of #climate_change among herders and farmers in #Tibet and the implications for #adaptation.
Projections of future climate change for Tibet caution severe challenges for farmers and herders as exceedance of climate-driven ecological thresholds are projected to increase land degradation and reduce optimal land for grazing.
In our new paper, we highlight that #losses and #damages from #climate_change cannot be entirely prevented, that decisions about what to keep and what to let go are fundamental to maintaining values for future generations; even when what is valued is gone.
We discuss how #heritage principle of #curating_transformation can advance #climate_action
through pragmatic and participatory management of losses and damages, offering lessons for climate change #adaptation and giving people agency over what is lost.
Curating transformation can strengthen adaptation and minimize losses and damages, available Open Access here: nature.com/articles/s44168-0…
How do we adapt to transboundary risks from climate change? Our new ODI Global Policy Brief highlights 7 entry points for #transboundary_adaptation at source, destination, along transmission channels, at boundaries, & with what interacting & feedback effects
#Transboundary_adaptation includes actions taken to avoid or reduce the impacts of climate change.

Inclusive and just climate resilient development keeps open pathways to a liveable planet but requires urgent and fundamental shifts in development policy and practice. Our new paper in @NatureClimate is now out👇@YESIUoY @YorkEnvironment @UniOfYork @IPCC_CH @COP29_AZ
As COP29 draws to a close, a new politics of climate resilient development is more urgent than ever putting social justice and ecosystem stewardship at the core, engaging all of society. See our new paper out today in @NatureClimate nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

How do we adapt heritage to climate change?
New @ODIclimate Working Paper out now: odi.org/en/publications/heri…
Delighted to announce that we have won a British Academy grant application for work on heritage adaptation to climate change and climate literacy: we are going to be boosting heritage adaptation to climate change through climate literacy.
The research will synthesise evidence from systematic reviews and empirical field work in World Heritage Sites in Southern African (Matobo Hills & Maloti-Drakensberg) to explore climate literacy entry points for heritage adaptation planning.
The British academy has announced Official Development Assistance Challenge-Oriented Research Grants 2024 here, thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news…
