A global treaty on plastic pollution must incentivize a take-make-reuse waste management system and include quantitative targets based on geography-specific emissions.

If fossil fuel burning stopped, emerging research suggests air temperatures could level off sooner than expected. But that doesn’t mean the damage stops.
The growing season on the tundra is starting earlier as the planet warms, but the plants aren’t sequestering more carbon, a new study finds.
Coral reefs that suffer widespread bleaching can still recover if conditions improve, but it’s estimated to take up to 12 years. And that’s if no more bleaching events occur.
The urgency of tackling climate change is even higher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and other First Nation peoples across the globe. They need to be part of the solution.
This network of vegetation reserves and corridors along Australian roads must be properly valued and better protected. But they’re vulnerable to vandals, lopping and car collisions.
For the first time since satellites started studying the continent, East Antarctica has lost an entire ice shelf.
The direction a beach faces, relative to wind direction, largely determines how many bluebottles are pushed to shore.
Laboratory studies suggest sunscreen chemicals are dangerous to coral reefs. But in real world conditions, that’s not true. Bleaching must have another cause.
We asked 680 Florida real estate agents what they’re seeing in the market. Here’s what they said.
The end is often envisioned the same way: abruptly, hopelessly and completely. How does this constrain the range of possible solutions?
New data has revealed rainfall records from as far back as 1677.
As climate change pressures intensify, ecosystems may lose their ability to bounce back from disasters.
Tasmania’s drying climate is seeing more bushfires ignited by lightning strikes. To protect the state’s World Heritage wilderness, we must use sustainable fire management practices.
The Murdoch outlets said they would pursue ‘positive stories’ on climate change. An analysis of stories during the recent floods, however, shows this wasn’t necessarily the case.
The Imagine newsletter is a weekly synthesis of academic insight into climate solutions.
A walk can gift you fresh eyes to see otherwise forgotten or ignored aspects of your local area.
Petrol prices have spiked, forcing governments to step in to reduce costs. But will the rising prices actually force drivers out of their cars, reducing consumption and carbon emissions?
Coral in the Great Barrier Reef is once again bleaching, with water temperatures up to 3°C higher than normal in some places.
Studies show tornadoes are getting more common and more intense, and they’re shifting eastward to a new tornado hot spot.
