Satellite sensors have provided a wealth of critical data over the past decades. In particular, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Terra and Aqua satellites has been important for determining terrestrial gross primary productivity. Both satellites may reach the end of their lifetime this year, meaning that MODIS data coverage will also end. Newer satellites using

Individual pro-environmental behaviour Nat. Clim. Change (IF 30.7) Pub Date : 2023-11-03 Danyang Cheng
Individual-level support in addressing the climate change problem is critical yet still insufficient. A contributing factor to the lack of engagement might be the inherent uncertainty of climate change, in terms of timeframe, severity of impacts and location. People who are highly intolerant of uncertainty tend to have low self-efficacy and expect negative outcomes during problem solving, leading to

Harrison Hong of Columbia University, USA, and colleagues modelled how society manages the disaster shocks to capital stocks. Two adaptation strategies were introduced: firm-level spending to reduce their own exposure and aggregate-level spending that requires collective action. The authors show that an optimal tax on capital to fund government spending is necessary. Meanwhile, unexpected disasters
