On the cover
California is home to expansive, water-intensive industrial agriculture. As the state faced severe drought in the 2010s, industry remained buoyed by unjust water rights. Farms grew food for the world's wealthy while neighboring families suffered without access to water for drinking and bathing. In Guilded Valley, Tali Weinberg uses weaving to transform found images of lush agricultural landscapes into drought-stricken fields. As the state faces more frequent droughts, this work questions systems that protect industry while leaving communities ever-more vulnerable to the worsening climate crisis. Cover by Tali Weinberg, courtesy of the artist.

Climate change is already here, and the impacts are being felt around the globe. Even under ambitious mitigation scenarios, temperatures are expected to increase further over the coming decades. As they do, the risks posed by climate change will continue to grow—along with the need for data and information to enhance resilience. Climate services aim to help fill this growing need. This month’s issue of One Earth explores the scientific dimensions of developing and implementing effective climate services in vulnerable sectors and regions.
