Unravelling past impacts of climate change and land management on historic peatland development using proxy-based reconstruction, monitoring data and process modelling
This research paper evaluates the accuracy of testate amoebae (TA)-based water-table depth (WTD) reconstructions by comparing them with instrumentally-monitored data and the MILLENNIA peatland model to understand the impacts of climate change and land management on peatland carbon cycling.

Climate Change Adaptation: A Case for Preventative Action and Risk Transfer
This research paper by Andreas Spiegel of Swiss Re argues for a balanced climate adaptation strategy that combines cost-effective risk prevention measures with risk transfer mechanisms, such as insurance. Using data from the Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA) working group, the author demonstrates that a significant portion of climate-related losses can be averted through preventative action, while residual risks should be managed via public-private partnerships and innovative financial instruments to protect vulnerable economies, particularly in developing nations.
