Our analysis shows that the cumulative intensity and duration of global temperature extremes has increased by an average of 36% from 1990 to 2020 and is projected to rise by 52% over the next 30 years. The Global South, inhabited by 10% of the world's elderly (aged 69+), bears 53% of the EMRI during the 60-year period. Low-income regions experience the highest EMRI, averaging 4% more than other regions. Projections for 2021–2050 indicate that the global EMRI will peak in 2033 before gradually declining. South Asia (SA) and Southeast Asia are expected to be the most severely affected regions, with averaged EMRI 8% higher than those in the lowest-risk regions. When focusing on age-specific groups (69+), the global EMRI will be 59% higher, the EMRI disparity is projected to be 13 times greater between SA and the lowest-risk regions, and 80 times greater between high-income and low-income regions, than when considering all-age group.

This problem is especially pronounced for semi-arid regions with large amounts of irrigated agriculture, such as California's Central Valley. In this region, increased ETo has increased irrigation demand, but the role of anthropogenic climate change (ACC) in driving this increase has not yet been quantified. Here, we quantified the influence of ACC on ETo and how these changes have translated into increased irrigation demand. We calculated observational ETo from ERA5-Land and counterfactual ETo that removes the forced changes simulated by 20 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 from the observational records. At the scale of North America, we found that ACC drove a 64 mm increase in annual ETo from 1980 to 2022, compared to the observed 54 mm increase. The largest observed increases in ETo were found in the southwestern and central regions, where ACC has likely exacerbated trends linked to natural climate variability. The largest ACC contributor to increased ETo was increased vapor pressure deficit, while decreased solar radiation has tempered increased ETo. Finally, we found that ACC has increased annual crop irrigation demand in the Central Valley by 0.76 km<sup>3</sup> during 1980–2022, with cumulative increased irrigation demand of 9.2 km<sup>3</sup>, equivalent to ∼11% of the region's groundwater loss during this time.

Most Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models overestimate the short-rain response to IOD events in Eastern Africa, especially during negative events. This is due to enhanced zonal moisture transport anomalies, mainly related to amplified IOD intensity and the westward extension of the IOD eastern core. Mean-state precipitation biases further contribute to overestimated short rains, traced back to the mean-state positive IOD-like biases. Under global warming, the contrasting short-rain responses to IOD in the Horn of Africa and Southeastern Africa are primarily driven by the westward-shifting IOD circulation. Enhanced impacts in the Horn of Africa are driven by stronger IOD-related zonal winds and the more humid mean-state atmosphere which is attributed to the IOD-like warming pattern. In contrast, weakened impacts in Southeastern Africa are associated with anomalous meridional wind changes.

With the intensification of droughts under climate change, understanding ecosystem responses to these events is essential. In this study, we analyzed the impacts of droughts on Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in India over the 21st century. We tested two hypotheses: (a) increasing drought intensity and frequency will exacerbate NPP reductions, and (b) climate warming will diminish ecosystem resilience, leading to greater NPP reductions per drought event. To evaluate ecosystem responses, we employed a Multi-Dimensional Resilience Index (MDRI), which integrates resistance and recovery time to quantify resilience. Our analysis revealed a substantial increase in extreme and moderate droughts, while mild droughts remained stable. Extreme droughts were projected to cause NPP reductions three times greater under the SSP2-4.5 scenario and six times greater under the SSP5-8.5 scenario compared to the baseline period (1850–2014). Ecosystems in the Western Ghats and lower Himalayan regions demonstrated moderate resilience due to prolonged recovery times and moderate resistance. Conversely, ecosystems in Northeastern India exhibited high resilience, characterized by strong resistance and shorter recovery periods. Interestingly, while resistance exhibited an increasing trend, likely influenced by carbon fertilization, recovery times showed a declining trend, potentially linked to rising temperatures. These findings do not support the second hypothesis, as no significant changes in overall ecosystem resilience were observed due to compensatory effects between resistance and recovery.

Large-scale DAC deployment, though, will require significant cost reductions in part through policy and investment support. This study evaluates the impact of policy interventions on DAC cost reduction by integrating energy system optimization and learning curve models. We examine how three policy instruments—incremental deployment, accelerated deployment, and R&D-driven innovation—impact DAC learning investment, which is the total investment required until the technology achieves cost parity with conventional alternatives or target cost. Our findings show that while incremental deployment demands significant learning investment, R&D-driven innovation is considerably cheaper at cost reduction. Under a baseline 8% learning rate, incremental deployment may require up to $998 billion to reduce costs from $1,154 to $400/tCO<sub>2</sub>, while accelerated deployment support could save approximately $7 billion on that investment. In contrast, R&D support achieves equivalent cost reductions at less than half the investment of incremental deployment. However, the effectiveness of R&D intervention varies with learning rates and R&D breakthroughs. R&D yields net benefits in all cases except at extremely low breakthroughs (5%) and very high learning rates (20%), where they are slightly more expensive. For learning rates below 20%, R&D provides net benefits even at minimal breakthroughs.
