What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment01:17

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...
Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...
Microbes and Climate Change01:27

Microbes and Climate Change

Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Sociology
  • Political Science

Background:

  • The term 'climate violence' is increasingly used but lacks consistent definition.
  • Understanding climate violence is crucial for policy development and justice responses.
  • Existing literature shows varied conceptualizations impacting discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To scope how 'climate violence' is defined and described in research literature.
  • To synthesize the current conceptual landscape of climate violence.
  • To lay the foundation for an interdisciplinary framework for climate violence.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic scoping review of peer-reviewed, English-language literature.
  • Inclusion of articles published on or before November 13, 2023, that defined or described 'climate violence'.
  • Inductive analysis of 23 included articles.

Main Results:

  • The concept of climate violence is emerging across disciplines but rarely explicitly defined.
  • Authorship is predominantly from Global North institutions.
  • Three common themes identified: intersectional/structural nature, manifold forms of violence, and emphasis on state/corporate accountability.

Conclusions:

  • A shared understanding of climate violence can foster integrated policy responses.
  • Highlights legal and moral obligations of states in climate change mitigation and human rights protection.
  • Identifies implications for future research and practice concerning climate violence.
