Accounting for ocean impacts nearly doubles the social cost of carbon - Nature Climate Change Oceans provide essential ecosystem services to human society, yet the climate impacts on blue capital have long been ignored. Incorporating the latest works on ocean science and economics, researchers...

Climate change has an impact on the oceans, which in turn affects humanity, including our economy. In this recent paper, we quantify these impacts www.nature.com/articles/s41..., led by @bbastien.bsky.social with @francescogranella.bsky.social @maxtav.bsky.social

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Heatwaves linked to carbon emissions from specific companies Nearly one-quarter of heatwaves would have been ‘virtually impossible’ without global warming — and can be attributed to the emissions of individual energy producers.

Ever wondered who is making severe heatwaves worse – or even possible?🤔🔥

A groundbreaking study by #SPARCCLE researchers shows that GHG emissions from just 180 fossil fuel and cement producers have significantly intensified global heatwaves.

SPARCCLE Project, Wildfires study

🔥🔥Wildfires are becoming longer, stronger, and more destructive. A new study in Environmental Research: Climate, co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers, shows that addressing social and economic vulnerability across countries will be a key factor in mitigating the scale of resulting financial damage.

SPARCCLE Project, World Population Day 2025

This year’s #WorldPopulationDay highlights declining fertility rates and the wide-ranging impact this trend has on sustainable development. Within the #SPARCCLE project, we are working to better understand these demographic developments by producing sub-national population projections across Europe.

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊

❓ Did you know that our oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans? This vital process helps buffer the impacts of global warming, making our oceans essential allies in the fight against climate change.

#SPARCCLE #HorizonEU #Climate #Resilience #Europe

A new study published in Nature Climate Change - co-authored by #SPARCCLE researcher @carlschleussner.bsky.social - finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% caused two-thirds of global warming since 1990.
