While 64 countries cut their fossil fuel emissions between 2016 and 2019, an international team of researchers, including an Earth system scientist at UCI, stressed that an even more pronounced reduction is going to be necessary to meet Paris Agreement goals to tackle global warming. 

Water scarcity is often understood as a problem for regions experiencing drought, but a new study from Cornell and Tufts universities finds that not only can localized water shortages impact the global economy, but changes in global demand send positive and negative ripple effects to water basins across the globe.

Largest study of its kind—62 sites worldwide—finds that in most cases economic value is higher when nature is protected or restored, rather than converted.

The project is a joint effort to pilot an innovative and replicable approach to more accurately map ecosystems to support effective planning and sustainable decision-making.

New research, wich brings healthcare data together with ground-breaking ecological techniques, could set a roadmap for refining pollen forecasts in the future.

People are more engaged in reducing carbon emissions than previously thought - and governments, scientists and companies should listen to them - according to new research from the University of East Anglia and the UK Energy Research Centre.

Putting a price on producing carbon is the cheapest, most efficient policy change legislators can make to reduce emissions that cause climate change, new research suggests.

As climate change increases the occurrence of catastrophic natural disasters around the world, international organizations are looking for ways to reduce the risk of such disasters. 

Plant responses to climate drivers such as temperature and precipitation may become visible only years after the actual climate event. 

In a newly published analysis, a team of researchers lists a series of measures the administration should consider in recalculating the social cost of carbon--a cost-benefit metric that places a monetary value on the impact of climate change.
