"Teaching Climate Change Adaptation" is an article that explores the importance of communities adapting to the impacts of climate change. The author acknowledges that climate change is a complex issue with varying effects in different locations, necessitating diverse adaptation strategies. The article discusses barriers to climate change adaptation, such as denial, activism, policy, and technology. It emphasizes the role of geographers in addressing climate change adaptation in classrooms and communities, providing examples from North America while recognizing that climate change is a global concern. The text highlights the challenges of fragmented climate change research and the need for strong leadership and political action to address the unique risks faced by different communities. It also emphasizes the incorporation of low-impact technologies and local knowledge into adaptation planning, suggesting that geographers and educational institutions can contribute significantly to studying and addressing local climate issues.

When only higher-confidence net-zero targets are included on top of current policies (case B), global warming is projected to increase to 2.4°C by 2100 (range due to emissions projection uncertainties: 1.7° to 3.0°C) - missing global climate goals by a long way. INSIGHTS Clobal climate policy is undergoing a rite of passage. Global warming projections mirror this uncertainty, with best-estimate emissions leading to a median temperature projection for the year 2100 of 2.6°C, with a range of 1.7° to 3.0°C, depending on how policies are assumed to continue after 2030 (see the figure) (table S6).

However, although historically their emissions have been great, most of the developed economies decoupled their carbon emissions and economic growth with the decarbonizing industry, and peaked their emissions by the first decade of this century [[2]]. Although theoretically these countries emit much less CO SB 2 sb , they appear to be more sensitive and susceptible to climate change, and it is very difficult for academics to conduct thorough studies in order to understand their emission baselines and track their climate change mitigation efforts. Therefore, their work advocates international assistance for these emerging emitters and reveals the important role of historically major emitters in addressing global climate change, not only to provide technical and financial assistance to reduce emissions, but also to prioritize their own emission reduction agenda.
