kliimamuutusteemalises

Kliimamuutusteemalises is an Estonian compound adjective meaning related to climate change. It is formed from kliimamuutus (climate change) and teemaline (topic-related) and is used to describe topics, discussions, studies, or materials that focus on climate change and its effects, mitigation, adaptation, policy, or related phenomena.

Usage of the term is common in journalism, academia, and policy discourse. It helps to classify content as dealing with climate-change issues rather than more general or unrelated subjects. Examples of typical uses include kliimamuutusteemalises kontekstis (in a climate-change-related context), kliimamuutusteemalises artiklis (in a climate-change-related article), and kliimamuutusteemalistes uuringutes (in climate-change-related studies). The form is inflected to agree with case, number, and determiner, so forms such as kliimamuutusteemalises, kliimamuutusteemalisesse, or kliimamuutusteemalistes appear in sentences depending on syntactic position.

Etymology and nuance: the term reflects a thematic subdivision in Estonian terminology where compounds with teemaline clearly signal the subject matter. It does not denote a fixed field, but rather a descriptive label indicating that climate change is the central or a major focus of the content.
