Building adaptive capacity to climate change; approaches applied in five diverse fisheries settings
Type: Brief
Climate change poses a range of risks to coastal and inland rural communities in the global tropics. People living within these communities depend directly on physical and natural environments for income, food and their ...
Gender equality in climate policy and practice hindered by assumptions
Type: Journal Article
Gender has a powerful influence on people’s experience of, and resilience to, climate change. Global climate change policy is committed to tackling gender inequalities in mitigation and adaptation. However, progress is ...
Accelerating climate resilience of aquatic food systems
Type: Brief
Climate change impacts on aquatic food systems place vulnerable communities with limited adaptive capacities at most risk. Policy and investment interventions require a positive bias in favor of the most vulnerable.

Inequality and the Biosphere
Type: Journal Article
Rising inequalities and accelerating global environmental change pose two of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. To explore how these phenomena are linked, we apply a social-ecological systems perspective ...
Escaping the perfect storm of simultaneous climate change impacts on agriculture and marine fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Climate change can alter conditions that sustain food production and availability, with cascading consequences for food security and global economies. Here, we evaluate the vulnerability of societies to the simultaneous ...
Morals and climate decision-making: insights from social and behavioural sciences
Type: Journal Article
Decisions about climate change are inherently moral. They require making moral judgements about important values and the desired state of the present and future world. Hence there are potential benefits in explaining climate ...
Gender assumptions harm progress on climate adaption and resilience, new study finds
Type: Blog
Outdated assumptions around gender continue to hinder effective and fair policymaking and action for climate mitigation and adaptation, a new study published in Nature Climate Change has found.
Climate change, tropical fisheries and prospects for sustainable development
Type: Journal Article
Tropical fisheries substantially contribute to the well-being of societies in both the tropics and the extratropics, the latter through ‘telecoupling’ — linkages between distant human–natural systems. Tropical marine ...
Planetary boundaries and Veterinary Services
Type: Journal Article
National Veterinary Services (NVS) play a crucial role in animal health, production and welfare. They are also intimately involved with safeguarding global health security and the health of the planet. Climate change is ...
