It is an example of how disparate communities, from religion, the physical and social sciences, can coalesce around a common goal. Commentaries Top The Pope's fateful vision of hope for society and the planet pp900 - 901 Robert J. Brulle and Robert J. Antonio doi:10.1038/nclimate2796 The Pope's encyclical challenges incremental approaches that have dominated climate change discourse, and brings a much needed moral vision to the environmental movement. Social scientists are required to join this effort. Sociological limitations of the climate change encyclical pp902 - 903 Erik Olin Wright doi:10.1038/nclimate2797 The Pope has articulated a need to change the way society thinks about economic growth, but it is implausible to rely primarily on moral conversion to solve our environmental and social ills. Biophysical limits, women's rights and the climate encyclical pp904 - 905 Paul R. Ehrlich and John Harte doi:10.1038/nclimate2795 The Pope has made a strong call for action on climate change, but it fails to address the complex linkages between sustainable development and demographic growth. The Pope's encyclical as a call for democratic social change pp905 - 907 Anabela Carvalho doi:10.1038/nclimate2799 The climate change encyclical represents a decisive democratic act. It calls on citizens to challenge dominant politics, power, and consumer culture in the name of tackling one of the world's great socio-environmental issues. Science and religion in dialogue over the global commons pp907 - 909 Ottmar Edenhofer, Christian Flachsland and Brigitte Knopf doi:10.1038/nclimate2798 The Pope's encyclical makes unprecedented progress in developing scientific dialogue with religion by drawing on research, and encouraging further discussion about the ethical challenge of governing the global commons. New leadership for a user-friendly IPCC pp909 - 911 Arthur Petersen, Jason Blackstock and Neil Morisetti doi:10.1038/nclimate2766 The IPCC's new leadership needs to promote reforms to make the panel more relevant to the actors that use the organization's information. Research Highlights Top Ecology: Intraspecific dispersal | Public opinion: Disengaged youth | Extreme events: Simultaneous occurrences | Carbon cycle: Oceanic sink changes News and Views Top Biodiversity: Interacting global change drivers pp913 - 914 Josef Settele and Martin Wiemers doi:10.1038/nclimate2815 Climate change impacts on species do not occur in isolation. Now research on drought-sensitive British butterflies uses citizen science to attribute the drivers of population changes and shows landscape management to be a key part of the solution. See also: Letter by Tom H. Oliver et al. Climate targets: Values and uncertainty pp914 - 915 Robert J. Lempert doi:10.1038/nclimate2745 Policymakers know that the risks associated with climate change mean they need to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. But uncertainty surrounding the likelihood of different scenarios makes choosing specific policies difficult. See also: Letter by L. Drouet et al. Climate change ecology: Salmon behaving badly pp915 - 916 Philip L. Munday doi:10.1038/nclimate2687 Projected future CO2 levels reduce the growth of juvenile salmon and alter their behaviour, with implications for the productivity of coastal ecosystems unless populations can adapt.

Allen doi:10.1038/nclimate2716 This Perspective explores whether policymakers can learn from adaptive management techniques to make climate policies 'anti-fragile', embracing and benefitting from scientific uncertainty, rather than simply being robust to it. Review Top Towards predictive understanding of regional climate change pp921 - 930 Shang-Ping Xie, Clara Deser, Gabriel A. Vecchi, Matthew Collins, Thomas L. Delworth, Alex Hall, Ed Hawkins, Nathaniel C. Johnson, Christophe Cassou, Alessandra Giannini and Masahiro Watanabe doi:10.1038/nclimate2689 This Review considers recent advances in our understanding of regional climate change, critically discusses outstanding issues, and recommends targets for future research. Letters Top The importance of including variability in climate change projections used for adaptation pp931 - 936 David M. H. Sexton and Glen R. Harris doi:10.1038/nclimate2705 Climate projections are about what typical climate will be, not what each individual season will be. This study considers natural variability combined with projections to allow comparison with seasonal weather and inform adaptation. Selection of climate policies under the uncertainties in the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC pp937 - 940 L. Drouet, V. Bosetti and M. Tavoni doi:10.1038/nclimate2721 A risk assessment framework shows that policymakers’ preferences affect carbon budget choices more than future uncertainties. Such preferences are as important as the much-discussed discount rate. See also: News and Views by Robert J. Lempert Interacting effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on drought-sensitive butterflies pp941 - 945 Tom H. Oliver, Harry H. Marshall, Mike D. Morecroft, Tom Brereton, Christel Prudhomme and Chris Huntingford doi:10.1038/nclimate2746 Climatic extremes can dramatically impact biodiversity. Now, research using comprehensive data on British butterflies reveals how drought and changes in habitat (area and fragmentation) interact to affect population stability.

Rethinking forest carbon assessments to account for policy institutions pp946 - 949 Andrew Macintosh, Heather Keith and David Lindenmayer doi:10.1038/nclimate2695 The relative climate benefits of sustainable forest use versus conservation are much debated. Consequential life-cycle assessment is typically employed to answer this question but results are sensitive to contextual factors including policy institutions. Article Top Responses of pink salmon to CO2-induced aquatic acidification pp950 - 955 Michelle Ou, Trevor J. Hamilton, Junho Eom, Emily M. Lyall, Joshua Gallup, Amy Jiang, Jason Lee, David A. Close, Sang-Seon Yun and Colin J. Brauner doi:10.1038/nclimate2694 Pink salmon start life in fresh water before moving to the sea. This study shows that CO2-induced acidification due to climate change detrimentally affects salmon physiology and behaviour in fresh water and shortly following seawater entry.
