Global review and project survey of natural climate solutions across 137 countries finds implementation is constrained mainly by social-behavioural, knowledge, and government or organisational barriers, especially weak policy coordination and implementation capacity. Without targeted enabling measures, near-term mitigation will remain below biophysical potential.

This month’s sustainability roundup captures a shift from framework development to real-world application, where climate and nature risks are increasingly embedded across financial systems, legal accountability, and decision-making. It highlights how intensifying physical climate signals, evolving disclosures, and maturing litigation are converging with insights on sovereign risk, energy systems, and corporate strategy. Together, these developments show how sustainability is moving beyond principle—being tested, priced, and enforced across markets, regulation, and the real economy.

Web-based platform by NGFS and IIASA providing access to climate scenario data. It enables users to visualise, compare and download time-series data on transition pathways, physical risks and macroeconomic impacts, supporting climate risk analysis, stress testing and financial modelling. Data can be accessed via workspaces, bulk downloads or APIs.

This briefing summarises UK public attitudes to climate risks and adaptation, highlighting rising concern, strong policy support, and the importance of communication strategies. It emphasises linking climate impacts to lived experience, health, and values to strengthen public engagement and support for adaptation and mitigation.

Examines public perceptions of drought risk and provides evidence-based guidance for communicating climate-related drought in the UK. Emphasises audience values, narratives, trusted messengers, and linking local impacts to broader climate change to improve engagement and support for adaptation measures.

This report guides practitioners on communicating climate-linked migration, highlighting research gaps, biases and limited diversity. It emphasises critical engagement with academic literature, improved representation of affected communities, and the need for nuanced, interdisciplinary approaches to inform effective, ethical communication strategies.

Report presents UK qualitative research on centre-right attitudes to energy efficiency and renewables, finding trust deficits and scepticism. Messaging aligned with values—avoiding waste, local control, and authenticity—resonates best, while economic or corporate framing underperforms. Emphasises credible messengers and community-based approaches.

Synthesises research on communicating environmental and sustainability science, highlighting a shift from one-way information to dialogue. Identifies challenges including political polarisation, trust, and misinformation, and emphasises values-based framing, narratives, and audience engagement as critical for effective public communication and future research priorities.

Guide outlines evidence-based strategies for communicating climate impacts through adaptation, emphasising values-led narratives, trusted messengers, and relatable imagery. It provides practical activities and case studies enabling community engagement on risks such as flooding, drought and heatwaves, encouraging locally relevant, action-oriented responses.

Analyses climate-linked migration, highlighting impacts on displacement patterns and vulnerabilities. Evaluates roles, motivations and barriers for refugee- and migrant-led organisations, and proposes funding and policy interventions to strengthen their engagement in climate advocacy and support adaptive, rights-based responses.

Climate Outreach is a UK-based climate communication charity specialising in public engagement with climate change. It provides research, tools and training to help organisations develop effective climate narratives, reach diverse audiences and inspire action, supporting governments, businesses and NGOs to communicate climate issues in accessible, people-focused ways.

ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CLEX) is an Australian climate science research centre focused on understanding and predicting climate extremes. It produces research, reports and briefing notes on extreme weather, drought and climate risk, supporting policymakers and industry to assess impacts of climate change and improve resilience and forecasting capabilities.

This article examines why current climate frameworks persist despite widespread professional skepticism, highlighting institutional incentives and “preference falsification” as key drivers. It calls for more open, cross-sector dialogue focused on diagnosing real problems and unlocking practical, system-level solutions.

This report explains nature-based solutions as ecosystem protection, restoration and management measures that can support climate mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity. It stresses their carbon-storage limits, vulnerability to disturbance, and the risk of overreliance in net-zero claims without deep emissions cuts.

This series provides guidance for investors on developing and assessing climate action plans using the ICAPs Expectations Ladder. It outlines approaches across investment, corporate engagement, policy advocacy, disclosure and governance to support alignment with net zero pathways and improve management of climate-related risks and opportunities.

This final article in a three-part series explores how to navigate resistance to systemic change. Drawing on personal experience, it outlines a framework for resilience—building alliances, embracing interdisciplinary thinking, and storytelling—empowering leaders to persist through setbacks and turn persistent “no” into transformative, collective “yes.”
