Consumer under-estimation of food emissions

Adopting plant-based diets has the potential to reduce global GHG emissions. A study in this issue shows that consumers underestimate the GHG emissions associated with foods, but carbon labels that provide information on GHG emissions can promote the purchase of lower-emitting options.

Rescuing Paris

To achieve the Paris climate goals, the private sector and sub-national governments need to fill the void left by unambitious national government efforts.

From myths to action

Correcting misperceptions provides an opportunity to reduce household GHG emissions across multiple domains. Now research shows that consumers greatly underestimate emissions from foods, but these misperceptions can be successfully corrected with carbon labelling.

A unified wetting and drying theory

For years, theory and model simulations have strongly disagreed on whether global warming will lead to scarcer or more plentiful water supplies. An elegant study now supplies the missing theoretical piece, strengthening the case that global water resources will increase in a warmer world.

A research roadmap for quantifying non-state and subnational climate mitigation action

Global climate change governance has seen an increase in action beyond national governments. This Perspective sets forth a research agenda and recommendations for evaluating non-state and subnational climate mitigation action.

The private sector’s climate change risk and adaptation blind spots

Investors are increasingly asking businesses to disclose their climate risk and corresponding management strategies. A review of corporate adaptation strategies reveals limited consideration of broader risks to supply chains, customers and employees.

Madden–Julian oscillation changes under anthropogenic warming

The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the leading mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere. This Perspective examines how the MJO may change with anthropogenic warming, revealing a projected increase in MJO-related precipitation.

Increased snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet mitigated twentieth-century sea-level rise

Ice loss from Antarctica contributes to global sea-level rise. Analysis of ice core records and reanalysis datasets reveals that increased snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet has offset contemporary sea-level rise by ~10 mm since 1901.

Ecological memory modifies the cumulative impact of recurrent climate extremes

The increasing frequency of marine heatwaves suggests that the impacts of successive events may be influenced by previous events. The extent of the 2016 and 2017 bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef shows that ecological memory played a role in the impacts of the second heatwave.

Hydrologic implications of vegetation response to elevated CO2 in climate projections

This paper introduces a modification to the Penman–Monteith equation—for net evapotranspiration—to account for vegetation under elevated atmospheric CO2. In so doing it reconciles contradictions between drought indices and modelled runoff projections.

Boreal forest biomass accumulation is not increased by two decades of soil warming

Nearly two decades of data from a boreal forest soil warming experiment (+5 °C) show no significant increase in aboveground biomass accumulation beyond an initial transitory response.

Consumers underestimate the emissions associated with food but are aided by labels

Consumer adoption of more plant-based diets has high technical potential to reduce global GHG emissions. This study shows that consumers underestimate the GHG emissions associated with foods, but carbon labels that provide this information promote the purchase of lower-emitting options.

Natural variability of Southern Ocean convection as a driver of observed climate trends

Sea-ice expansion around Antarctica, and related surface cooling, is shown to be linked to natural long-term variability of Southern Ocean convection. Model simulations reproduce the observed trends, if they start from an active phase of convection.

Agricultural non-CO2 emission reduction potential in the context of the 1.5 °C target

Agricultural CH4 and N2O emissions represent around 11% of total anthropogenic GHGs. Here agriculture mitigation potentials are quantified, in the context of the 1.5 °C target, and decomposed by emission source, region and mitigation mechanism.

Global trends in carbon sinks and their relationships with CO2 and temperature

Global net ecosystem production (NEP) from a number of atmospheric inversions and dynamic global vegetation models is analysed to attribute trends to potential drivers. CO2 is found to have a positive effect on NEP that is constrained by climate warming.
