Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

The link between climate change and conflict has been discussed intensively in academic
literature during the past decade. This review aims to provide a clearer picture of what the …

We examine the impact of climate change on energy security risk and explore the role of
clean energy investment in reducing this impact. By exploiting a recently developed …

Estimates of climate change damage are central to the design of climate policies. Here, we
develop a flexible architecture for computing damages that integrates climate science …

BACKGROUND For centuries, thinkers have considered whether and how climatic
conditions influence the nature of societies and the performance of economies. A …

Identifying the effect of climate on societies is central to understanding historical economic
development, designing modern policies that react to climatic events, and managing future …

A rapidly growing body of research applies panel methods to examine how temperature,
precipitation, and windstorms influence economic outcomes. These studies focus on …

We review the emerging literature on climate and conflict. We consider multiple types of
human conflict, including both interpersonal conflict, such as assault and murder, and …

Understanding the value of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions matters for policy decisions
and climate risk management, but quantification is challenging because of the complex …

Reviewing recent literature, we report that changes in extreme heat event characteristics
such as magnitude, frequency, and duration are highly sensitive to changes in mean global …
