Vulnerability of mineral-associated soil organic carbon to climate across global drylands
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02087-y
Protection afforded by inorganic minerals is assumed to make mineral-associated organic carbon less susceptible to loss under climate change than particulate organic carbon. However, a global study of soil organic carbon from drylands suggests that this is not the case.

Tree movements promote carbon sink
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02059-2
Climate change threatens the role of forests as long-term carbon sinks. Tree planting programmes that incorporate assisted migration of tree species and seed sources can help to mitigate this impact.

Enhanced policy adequacy facilitates national climate adaptation tracking across Africa
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 19 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02055-6
Inadequate information in national adaptation policies limits the ability to track national adaptation progress in Africa. Enhancing coverage, consistency and robustness of these policies offers a clear path to establish effective, nationally led adaptation-tracking infrastructure.

Explaining green industrial policy in an age of globalization
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 12 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02072-5
Governments are increasingly using industrial policy to develop low-carbon economic sectors and catalyse the energy transition. A recent study provides a framework to explain why governments adopt different types of green industrial policy, depending on industry position in the global supply chain and types of uncertainty.

Higher-resolution projections needed for small island climates
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 10 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02028-9
Projections of the future climate of small island states and territories are currently limited by the coarse resolution of models. We call for rapid global and regional cooperation to develop projections compatible with small island scales, providing relevant local information and decision-making tools.

Strategies to improve the impact of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02060-9
Urban areas are an important focus for effective climate action in the coming decade. This Perspective proposes transformational strategies to accelerate and upscale the impact of the planned Special Report on Climate Change and Cities in the IPCC seventh assessment cycle.
