Changes in impacts of climate extremes: Human systems and ecosystems

TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of oil palm sustainability certification on deforestation and fire in Indonesia.

TL;DR: It was found that certification significantly reduced deforestation, but not fire or peatland clearance, among participating plantations, and certification had no causal impact on forest loss in peatlands or active fire detection rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
