Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains, the people of Peru’s coastal region rely on surface water from the Andes for drinking water, industry, and animal and crop farming.

For decades, scientists studying a key climate phenomenon have been grappling with contradictory data that have threated to undermine confidence in the reliability of climate models overall.

New research led by climate scientists from the University of Bristol suggests that the representation of clouds in climate models is as, or more, important than the amount of greenhouse gas emissions when it comes to projecting future Greenland ice sheet melt.

There’s growing momentum to factor climate change into humanitarian work, Anita Makri reports.
