Managed retreat doesn’t always mean leaving. It’s about preserving the essential while redesigning communities to be better for everyone. Here’s what that can look like.
Eight in ten of these surveyed by the Economic Society of Australia say it’s the role of government to smooth the transition.
Mitigating climate change is more politically popular than adapting to its inevitable effects.
Here’s how reflective pavement works and what cities need to think about.
Soot from aeroplane exhausts can linger in the atmosphere, seeding ice clouds which trap heat.
About 60 per cent of monkeys, apes, lemurs, lorises and tarsiers are threatened with extinction. Climate change will only make it more difficult for them to survive.
To more effectively communicate about climate change online, follow these simple rules
Flood plain statistics can be confusing. There are better ways to think about the risk of severe weather than 100-year storm or flood.
An emissions trading scheme is New Zealand’s main policy to tackle climate change. But to bring down emissions quickly enough, other policies will need to transform transport and agriculture.
Moving New Zealanders rapidly into electric vehicles is a good idea, but success will still depend on a number of difficult to predict economic forces.
Many communities in Canada currently lack intercity and regional transportation. A national public transportation system would improve connectedness between cities and access to essential services.
Peatlands worldwide are running short of water, and the amount of greenhouse gases this could set loose would be devastating for our efforts to curb climate change.
Research shows people don’t take politicians seriously on climate change if they don’t seem fully committed.
Climate change science dominated by knowledge produced in the global North cannot address the particular challenges faced by those living in the global South.
If the G7 is serious about stopping global warming, it could start by acknowledging who and what is causing it.
A complete switch to biofuels is neither feasible nor desirable, but they could replace some fossil fuels in transport and heating. If biofuels are produced from waste products, that’s even better.
For phascogales, tree hollows are getting harder to find. I venture into forests and study how well artificial hollows made with chainsaws can replace them.
Scientists studied charcoal layers in the sediment of lake beds across the Rockies to track fires over time. They found increasing fire activity as the climate warmed.
Heat pumps are the technology of choice for heating and cooling buildings more efficiently and with fewer carbon emissions than furnaces and air conditioning.
