"Those most impacted by climate change must be able to define and prioritize their own research agenda". Read our new editorial www.nature.com/articles/s41... and take a look at the collection of articles on #weather and #climate extremes: www.nature.com/collections/...

Climate research in the Global South - Nature Communications

The consequences of weather and climate extremes are felt disproportionately by some of the most disadvantaged populations of the world. Gaps in data and research perpetuate these deeply rooted inequalities and must be overcome.

🌡️🌾 When heat hits twice, crops pay the price.
New study coauthored by IIASA’s @kornhuber.bsky.social with @ethz.ch & @vuamsterdam.bsky.social shows back-to-back heatwaves cut yields of maize and wheat.
⚠️ Such events could be 10× more frequent without climate action.
