In the midst of escalating global climatic changes, the imperative for research dedicated to understanding and addressing these shifts is becoming increasingly paramount. Both developing and developed countries are grappling with the profound impacts of climate change, from erratic and extreme weather events to disruptions in livelihoods, ecosystems, and economies. However, the vulnerability of developing countries is often exacerbated by limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic disparities. Our research group recognizes the urgency of addressing these disparities and strives to generate knowledge that informs effective strategies for adaptation and mitigation tailored to the unique needs of both developing and developed nations. With members hailing from almost all continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas) and diverse disciplines (anthropology, development economics, environmental social sciences, biometeorology, ecology, and agriculture), our diverse team brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences, ensuring a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing the complex challenges of climate change. By fostering a balanced approach, we aim to contribute to a more equitable distribution of resources and solutions, promoting resilience and sustainability on a global scale. Our commitment is rooted in the belief that comprehensive, interdisciplinary research is essential for understanding and addressing the diverse challenges faced by nations at different stages of development, ultimately shaping a collective response that transcends geographic boundaries.
