Methane is a potent, short-lived climate pollutant responsible for nearly 0.5°C of global temperature rise. Though it remains in the atmosphere for about 12 years, its climate impact is 86 times stronger than carbon dioxide over 20 years, making methane mitigation one of the most effective strategies for tackling climate change. The waste sector...

Non-economic loss and damage (NELD) associated with climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical yet under-assessed dimension of climate risk, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Africa. This study presents an analytical framework for synthesizing evidence from a systematic literature review conducted under the ASCEND initiative...

Sunda clouded leopard conservation requires understanding key species traits. Using photo-identification, we estimated lifespans from minimum residence times, documenting the oldest wild individual known to date—a 6.51-year-old female. We discuss methodological limitations in female detectability and transient individuals in the population and...

Agriculture lies at the centre of the climate change challenge, simultaneously functioning as a highly climate-vulnerable sector and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions through land use, crop production, livestock, and food systems. This presentation examines the climate change–agriculture nexus through a comparative analysis of...
