TL;DR: This work states that the development of operational event attribution would allow a more timely and methodical production of attribution assessments than currently obtained on an ad hoc basis and requires the continuing development of methodologies to assess the reliability of event attribution results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the extent to which recent damaging extreme events can be linked to human-induced climate change or natural climate variability, and found strong evidence for human influence on the probability of extreme precipitation events, droughts, and storms.

TL;DR: It is found that, in spite of being located in highly-protected natural areas, all beaches in the study area are exceedingly vulnerable to micro-plastic pollution, with pollution levels reaching concentrations greater than 100 g of plastic in 1l of sediment.

TL;DR: The impact of different scenarios of Greenland partial melting in the very sensitive Sahel region is explored, demonstrating that such a melting induces a drastic decrease of West African monsoon precipitation and quantifying the agricultural area losses due to monsoon changes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse risk mitigation options (engineering works) as being dual (physically and socially constructed) as well, and demonstrate that engineered mitigation solutions are socially construed by refer- ring to individual and collective heuristics associated with these options, leading to poor social acceptability of envisioned mitigation options, poor acceptability not directly linked to the performance in terms of risk reduction.
