Aquatic foods from marine and freshwater systems are critical to the nutrition, health, livelihoods, economies and cultures of billions of people worldwide, but climate-related hazards may compromise their ability to provide ...
Drivers of mangrove ecosystem service change in the Sundarbans of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Mangroves are now well known to provide a range of ecosystem services that benefit local populations, though such ecosystem services are at risk from mangrove deforestation and degradation across much of the tropics. This ...
Developing Climate Information Services for Aquaculture in Bangladesh: A Decision Framework for Managing Temperature and Rainfall Variability-Induced Risks
Type: Journal Article
Climate information services (CIS) are increasingly in demand to assist farmers in managing risks associated with climate variability and extremes experienced in food production. However, there are significant gaps in the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Attributes of climate resilience in fisheries: From theory to practice
Type: Journal Article
In a changing climate, there is an imperative to build coupled social-ecological systems—including fisheries—that can withstand or adapt to climate stressors. Although resilience theory identifies system attributes that ...
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 ...
Social determinants of adaptive and transformative responses to climate change
Type: Journal Article
To cope effectively with the impacts of climate change, people will need to change existing practices or behaviours within existing social-ecological systems (adaptation) or enact more fundamental changes that can alter ...
