Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02245-w Analysis of 42 years of daily sea surface temperature data shows increasing persistence of anomalies. These changes, which are attributed to deepening of the mixed layer, reduced oceanic forcing and reduced damping associated with stronger stratification, have implications for marine heatwave duration.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 05 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02244-x Climate change will impact financial stability, but the quantitative evidence on the magnitude of such risks is still rare. With a forward-looking structural credit-risk model, researchers map how physical risks can be amplified through financial leverage and generate cross-border climate risks.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02242-5 This Perspective highlights links between gender inequality and climate change adaptation and mitigation, and proposes a roadmap for incorporating gender issues into the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. These scenarios could help understand challenges under diverse trajectories of gender equality.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02232-7 Assessments of the aggregate impacts of climate change on the global economy are widely varying and diverge depending on the method employed. It is essential to understand the mechanisms behind the differing estimates and identify a robust range. Only then could these estimates meaningfully inform and…
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02240-7 The interactions between mitigation policies could hinder China’s progress toward carbon neutrality by limiting the space for effective policy implementation. Policymakers should emphasize optimizing the combination of these policies to ensure efficient decarbonization.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02237-2 Various policy instruments are proposed to meet mitigation targets, yet the synergistic and trade-off effects of interactions are less understood. With rich scenarios of policy mixes, the authors demonstrate that in most cases these interactions will delay the achievement of carbon targets in China.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02241-6 High-quality coverage of climate change requires trained reporters, editorial support and financial assistance, but news media in the global south often lack access to such resources. Now, a study points to further disparities across language and regional communities.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02239-0 Accountability serves as an adhesive that binds commitment to results. Now, a study on corporate carbon emissions targets reveals that firms hold limited accountability to their targets, with little public backlash against missed targets.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02236-3 Companies have set emissions reduction targets globally, yet whether they are held accountable for the outcomes remains uncertain. By examining the emissions targets that ended in 2020, researchers find low awareness of the failed targets and limited negative reactions from different stakeholders.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 21 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02234-5 How the carbon stocks of the Arctic–Boreal Zone change with warming is not well understood. Here the authors show that wildfires and large regional differences in net carbon fluxes offset the overall increasing CO2 uptake.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 17 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02238-1 To understand the potential for seaweed as a Blue Carbon strategy, the authors quantify carbon burial under 20 globally distributed seaweed farms. They attribute an average of 1.06 ± 0.74 tCO2e ha−1 yr−1 to seaweed farms, and show increased accumulation of carbon with farm age.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02235-4 Climate change and disturbances are changing forest tree composition, but it is not clear if disturbances assist trees in tracking their climate ranges. This study shows that the impact of disturbance on range shifts is dependent on the tree species and type of disturbance.

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02225-6 As Arctic sea ice thinned, it was thought that a weaker, more dynamic ice cover might become more heavily deformed and ridged. Now, analysis of three decades of airborne observations shows instead that the Arctic ice cover has smoothed.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02204-x The authors constructed an eco-climate model to project climate change impacts on populations of the spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) and its pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga. They show that climate change will sharply reduce E. maimaiga infection rates and subsequently increase spongy moth defoliation.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02221-w Climate change is impacting mountain regions and the agricultural livelihood of residents, and will continue to do so. In this study, the authors survey farmers in ten African mountain regions to understand their perceptions of climate change impacts and identify adaptation opportunities and constraints.
