Nature Climate Change, Published online: 10 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02381-3 The authors evaluate heritable genetic variation in thermal tolerance in a common reef-building coral. They show widespread heritable genetic variation, which is strongly associated with marine heatwave-imposed selective pressure, suggesting adaptation to climate warming.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02376-0 Rapid warming of the global ocean and amplified Arctic warming will alter the ocean biogeochemistry. Here the authors show that Atlantic water inflow, and the subsequent subduction and circulation, is reducing dissolved oxygen in the Arctic due to reduced solubility with increased temperatures.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 08 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02388-w Adaptation efforts require responsive and adaptive institutions. Some progress has been made, but more systematic institutional adaptation is needed given the growing climate hazards.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 08 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02365-3 Urban development policies, designed to improve city resilience, could unintentionally increase the exposure to climate risk. This Comment discusses the impact of misaligned incentives, miscalculated benefits and costs, and overlooked behavioural responses on policy outcomes, as well as future directions.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02368-0 Deltas are complex and are among the most vulnerable landforms under climate change. Studying them collectively highlights common stressors that drive their most significant challenges. A holistic conceptual framing of a delta and its feeding river basin is fundamental to effective adaptation planning.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02364-4 Surface melt is an important component of ice sheet dynamics, but for many remote regions the melt rates are mainly known from models. Here the authors present satellite observations of melt rates for Greenland and Antarctica, showing that East Antarctica has become a melting hotspot.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02371-5 Ice-sheet surface melting impacts sea level and ice dynamics. Now two studies provide a wake-up call for monitoring melt in Antarctica.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02363-5 This study provides a continent-wide assessment of surface meltwater area in Antarctica between 2006 and 2021, highlighting recent increases in magnitude and variability in East Antarctica, with indications that the ice-sheet surface is becoming increasingly prone to further meltwater ponding.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02374-2 Extreme heat poses a growing threat to vulnerable urban populations, and the existing heat early warning system usually operates at population level. Pairing emerging individualized and population early warning systems could directly and meaningfully extend protection to those most in need.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 01 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02372-4 Literature produced inconsistent findings regarding the links between extreme weather events and climate policy support across regions, populations and events. This global study offers a holistic assessment of these relationships and highlights the role of subjective attribution.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 26 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02367-1 Growing wildfire threats require governing institutions to adapt their responses for effective management, yet institutional adaptation remains unexplored. This study reveals increasingly complex task environments for institutions managing wildfire incidents in the USA over the period 1999–2020.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 24 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02355-5 The authors generate ~1-km2 growth curves for aboveground live carbon in regrowing forests, globally. They show that maximum carbon removal rates can vary by 200-fold spatially and with age, with the greatest rates estimated at about 30 ± 12 years, highlighting the role of secondary forests in carbon…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02369-z Video games are a popular method for climate change communication, but current efforts undervalue the potential role of gaming communities. To empower gaming communities to take climate action, we suggest social strategies including fostering climate change conversations through games and in gaming social spaces, and organizing…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 16 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02361-7 Fair climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement can be calculated in multiple ways, yielding diverse outcomes. Researchers unpack how equity, global strategies and political and social uncertainties shape fair share allocations, using them to assess nationally determined contributions and guide global climate finance.   

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 13 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41558-025-02350-w Glancing forward to view alternative futures for limiting global warming requires understanding complex societal–environmental systems that drive future emissions. Now a study explores the potential, and limits, of deep learning to generate core characteristics of these futures.
