Non-technical summary
We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability and implications of overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for a rapid and managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges for scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding the future contribution of natural carbon sinks, (5) intertwinedness of the crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain glacier loss, (8) human immobility in the face of climate risks, (9) adaptation justice, and (10) just transitions in food systems.
Technical summaryThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports provides the scientific foundation for international climate negotiations and constitutes an unmatched resource for researchers. However, the assessment cycles take multiple years. As a contribution to cross- and interdisciplinary understanding of climate change across diverse research communities, we have streamlined an annual process to identify and synthesize significant research advances. We collected input from experts on various fields using an online questionnaire and prioritized a set of 10 key research insights with high policy relevance. This year, we focus on: (1) the looming overshoot of the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) the urgency of fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges to scale-up carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future natural carbon sinks, (5) the need for joint governance of biodiversity loss and climate change, (6) advances in understanding compound events, (7) accelerated mountain glacier loss, (8) human immobility amidst climate risks, (9) adaptation justice, and (10) just transitions in food systems. We present a succinct account of these insights, reflect on their policy implications, and offer an integrated set of policy-relevant messages. This science synthesis and science communication effort is also the basis for a policy report contributing to elevate climate science every year in time for the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Social media summaryWe highlight recent and policy-relevant advances in climate change research – with input from more than 200 experts.

Non-technical summary
We summarize what we assess as the past year's most important findings within climate change research: limits to adaptation, vulnerability hotspots, new threats coming from the climate–health nexus, climate (im)mobility and security, sustainable practices for land use and finance, losses and damages, inclusive societal climate decisions and ways to overcome structural barriers to accelerate mitigation and limit global warming to below 2°C.
Technical summaryWe synthesize 10 topics within climate research where there have been significant advances or emerging scientific consensus since January 2021. The selection of these insights was based on input from an international open call with broad disciplinary scope. Findings concern: (1) new aspects of soft and hard limits to adaptation; (2) the emergence of regional vulnerability hotspots from climate impacts and human vulnerability; (3) new threats on the climate–health horizon – some involving plants and animals; (4) climate (im)mobility and the need for anticipatory action; (5) security and climate; (6) sustainable land management as a prerequisite to land-based solutions; (7) sustainable finance practices in the private sector and the need for political guidance; (8) the urgent planetary imperative for addressing losses and damages; (9) inclusive societal choices for climate-resilient development and (10) how to overcome barriers to accelerate mitigation and limit global warming to below 2°C.
Social media summaryScience has evidence on barriers to mitigation and how to overcome them to avoid limits to adaptation across multiple fields.

The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by T. H. Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories, USA. Many laboratories worldwide began the search for lasers using different materials, operating at different wavelengths. In the UK, academia, industry and the central laboratories took up the challenge from the earliest days to develop these systems for a broad range of applications. This historical review looks at the contribution the UK has made to the advancement of the technology, the development of systems and components and their exploitation over the last 60 years.

This project will work closely with existing service partners involved in street level services and focus on testing and evaluating three approaches for street level interventions for youth who are homeless and who have severe or moderate mentally illness. Youth will be asked to choose their preferred service approach:
Housing First related initiatives focused on interventions designed to move youth to appropriate and available housing and ongoing housing supports.
Treatment First initiatives to provide Mental Health/Addiction supports and treatment solutions, and; Simultaneous attention to both Housing and Treatment Together
Our primary objective is to understand the service delivery preferences of homeless youth and understand the outcomes of these choices. Our research questions include:
1. Which approaches to service are chosen by youth?
2. What are the differences and similarities between groups choosing each approach?
3. What are the critical ingredients needed to effectively implement services for homeless youth from the perspectives of youth, families and service providers?
Focus groups with staff and family members will occur to assist in understanding the nature of each of service approach, changes that evolve within services, & facilitators and barriers to service delivery. This work will be important in determining which approach is chosen by youth and why. Evaluating the outcomes with each choice will provide valuable information about outcomes for the service options chosen by youth. This assist in better identifying weaknesses in the services offered and inform further development of treatment options that youth will accept.

Summary
There was general laughter among the gathered Christian Socialists when Maurice announced that Thomas Hughes had joined them. That was in the autumn of 1848, some months after the beginning of the movement. ‘We are not going to start a cricket club’, someone said. For Hughes was known as an extrovert and a sportsman, distinguished at Oxford not for his learning or his participation in ecclesiastical controversy, but for rowing and being a cricket blue. Of ‘the high regions of scholarship, criticism, or science’, he confessed, ‘I have neither head nor time for such matters’. There has been a general agreement among observers of the Christian Socialist movement that he was ‘intellectually the least gifted’. He was, Raven noted, ‘unperplexed with doubts’. Yet the case for his inclusion among the most influential of the leaders is a strong one. Hughes never lost his early faith in Christian Socialism, and devoted a lifetime to political activity to further the cause. He laboured extensively to preserve religious ideals within the developing co-operative movement, and, as a Liberal Member of Parliament, he became a central spokesman for working-class aspirations. After Kingsley, he was, through his writings, the great popularizer of the ideals of social reform which the Christian Socialist group had projected. He embodied, in fact, all that Kingsley sought to be – but never was: practical, athletic, and with an easy and unselfconscious rapport with the working classes. ‘For many years I have been thrown very much into the society of young men of all ranks’, Hughes wrote in 1861; ‘I like being with them, and I think they like being with me’.

Summary
It has been usual to divide Ruskin's life around the year 1859/60, when he was forty years old. Before that time he was essentially an art critic concerned with changing received attitudes to art, and after it he was a social critic obsessed with the evils of industrial society and preaching a new and radical social order. The first phase was dominated by the influence of Turner, the second by Carlyle. The division is basically sound, provided it preserves some impression of the unity of Ruskin's thought. There was, clearly, development with the unfolding of the years, and with the addition of new themes, but Ruskin's chief characteristic as a thinker was his consistency. In the later parts of his life his writing, often emerging from beneath overlapping sequences of mental instability, was increasingly filled with seemingly disjoined and sometimes even intellectually incoherent illustrations and subjects: but despite first appearances the consistency actually held; there was ‘conscious design’ beneath the ‘wide diversity of interests’. Interpreters have appreciated the astonishing penetration of Ruskin's analysis, whether of art or of society, and they have sympathized with the power and sentiment of his assault upon the social evils of his day. Despite the evident clarity of his writing, however, he actually remains difficult to categorize.
He has been known as a Christian Socialist. The title does not rest easily upon him. His Christianity was not susceptible to an institutional expression, and his understanding of religious belief underwent several changes during his life and was rarely precise.

Summary
Of all the Christian Socialist leaders of the middle years of the century, John Malcolm Ludlow was the most explicit in political analysis. Ostensibly, too, he was the most theoretical – he seems to get nearer than the others did to the exploration of philosophical bases to his socialism. But to some extent that is an illusory appearance: Ludlow's mind was in fact extremely practical, and what looks at first glance like a systematic assemblage of political ideas turns out, at a second, to be a characteristically French style of arranging information in a structured and ordered pattern. The information itself was characteristically English in its pragmatism. Ludlow had been born in India, and after two years, following the death of his father (who worked for the East India Company), the family moved to England – and then, in 1826, to Paris. He was educated at the Collège Bourbon and acquired the manners and intellectual styles of the French classes of privilege amongst whose sons he studied. He intended to remain in France, where many, including Guizot, predicted a brilliant career. Instead, in 1838, he settled in London, wishing to follow what his mother assured him would have been his father's will: that he became an Englishman. He was only sixteen, and the intended personal transformation never quite happened. Emotionally still attached to France, he came to idealize aspects of its life and culture; he became suffused with the exile's enthusiasm for a remembered land. It was in the year following this upheaval – and clearly a product of it – that he underwent the almost simultaneous conversions to active Christianity and to Socialism.

Summary
Perhaps more than any other it was Westcott who gave Christian Socialism respectability, who legitimized its existence within the Church, and who, in the process, diluted it. There was nothing discreditable about that: after the prophetic forerunners and the preoccupied zealots, it is always necessary for popularizers to get to work if new ideas are to take hold. Westcott was suited by temperament for the task. His moral seriousness had shown an early development. A schoolboy contemporary later recorded that his conversation was about things ‘which very few schoolboys talk about – points of theology, problems of morality, and the ethics of politics’. Forty years later he told the undergraduates of Peterhouse, where he was preaching, to ‘dare to commit yourselves to the pursuit of a lofty ideal’. It was a persistent theme of his life; a constant recommendation to others. What Westcott did was to employ the available rhetoric of Socialism in a declaration of the need for social reform. It was an extension of his moral seriousness, derived much more from a rather traditionalist religious position than it was from any political source. The declaration also rather noticeably lacked content. Scott Holland, one of the founders of the Christian Social Union in 1889, remarked that no one could afterwards remember what Westcott had actually said at the inaugural meeting in Sion College – ‘only we knew that we were lifted, kindled, transformed’. That is no small thing to have achieved, and Westcott's service to the cause of Christian Socialism was in the end an enormously important one precisely because he inspired men who would otherwise have been antagonistic to take it seriously.

Summary
There was a recklessness and perversity in Headlam which hung about him all his life, Caustic expression, straining after effect, and the bald statement of paradoxes as though they were the commonplace of all but the insensitive or the malign, while sometimes acceptable in youth are rarely so in the more mature, and Headlam accumulated large numbers of influential opponents. His own biographer – in a work read and approved by Headlam – referred to ‘an imp of mischief’ that seemed to rest upon him. Yet the same work speaks also of his courage, and this was echoed by others who have assessed his life and ideas. To many of his contemporaries he seemed eccentric: a clergyman who praised the insights of atheists and secularists, a member of the ‘respectable’ professions who mixed in theatrical and artistic circles, who embraced Fabian Socialism, who supported outcasts like the Ritualist priests prosecuted under the Public Worship Regulation Act, and who befriended Oscar Wilde at the time of his trial. Headlam actually revelled in the seeming incompatibilities. ‘It is because we are Communicants that we go to the Theatre’, he said on one occasion; ‘because we are Priests that we believe in Progress’. To the modern ear such sentiments will not seem strange. To late-Victorian sensibilities they could sound profoundly shocking, and Headlam's vaunting tone did not help. He may, indeed, be rightly accused of poor judgment over the expression of his ideas; for ideas, to be influential, have in some measure to be acceptable to the generation who receive them, and Headlam lacked both the historical sense and the balance of temperament needed to adjust his opinions to the expectations and common assumptions of the Church and the society he served.

Summary
Christian Socialism was one among a number of enthusiasms which lodged in Kingsley's mind – mesmerism, and sea shell collecting were others – and it was rather characteristic of his impulsive and passionate nature that it did not remain there for more than a few years. He was, according to John Ludlow, his colleague in the Christian Socialist movement, a man of ‘rugged strength and headlong dash’. According to another colleague, Thomas Hughes, he was ‘born a fighting man and believed in bold attack’. Recent writers have tended to agree in noting the significance of Kingsley's impulsiveness. His actions have been described as ‘so unco-ordinated’ that ‘each faded into oblivion when succeeded by another’; he had ‘no staying power’. His enthusiasms were ‘inconsistent or even flatly contradictory’. He had, another has remarked, great energy ‘in seizing upon the ideas of men more original than he’. His mind was certainly innocent of great intellectual insight: his theological learning at the time of his ordination in 1842 amounted to the gleanings and scraps picked up from a collection of books he had taken with him on a fishing trip to South Devon. It was subsequently enriched by his wife, who was steeped in the writings of the Tractarians. Charles Mansfield, who had known him from undergraduate days in Cambridge, used to say ‘that Kingsley knew all that was in a book by looking at the outside of it’. He became an eclectic reader, moving from subject to subject as successive moods of interest and impulse directed, acquiring sufficient knowledge of each to be able to offer firm and definitive opinions.

Summary
Among the Free Church leaders of Victorian England, two were especially known as exponents of Christian Socialism. They were very dissimilar. John Clifford was a Baptist of provincial working-class origins: he had worked a sixteen-hour day in a lace factory at the age of eleven, and had then become a Chartist. After conversion he took three degrees at London University and entered a ministry which was entirely spent in London. He was overtly political, the author of two Fabian Tracts and the President of the Christian Socialist League in 1894. His passionate resistance to denominational education, and his pacificism, drew him further into party political conflicts, but he never lost the conviction that his ministerial vocation imposed the priority of pastoral over political concerns. He declined an invitation from the North Paddington Liberal Association to be their parliamentary candidate in 1885 precisely because of his spiritual work, yet he wrote at the time, ‘My sense of political duty is strong, my sympathy with the people is intense’. Hugh Price Hughes came from the professional class of South Wales, was a markedly conservative Wesleyan Methodist, and though often absorbed with interest in the public issues of the times was never involved with political organizations. His advocacy of social reform was restrained, though it was in some particulars more far-reaching than it at first appeared. ‘All law and all policy ought to be shaped in the interests of the poor’, he said in 1889, and he meant it.
