"Everyone has a role in climate action. At the United Nations, we are calling on people everywhere to work together to solve climate challenges...It's our planet, and while we know it is in crisis, we also know that solutions are in reach.–United Nations
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that it is extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature of the planet from 1951 to 2010 was caused by human activities.
Annual Reviews has curated a new interdisciplinary article collection that delves into the interplay between human behavior and climate change, exploring how these two dynamic forces influence each other, and what their combined impact means for public health and the environment. The reviews provide insight on effective human-led strategies to enable necessary change and ensure future sustainability. Our experts discuss several key topics:
- Understanding Human Behavior and Societal Norms
- Steps Towards Sustainability
- Adaptation Strategies to Crises
- Public Health and the Environment
