There’s little transparency or clarity about how much water states are allocated. This failure in communication and leadership across such a vital system must change.
The pandemic has exposed how vulnerable we are to unexpected climate shocks.
The sight of empty shelves has led some Australians to look for alternative ways to feed themselves and their families. This is what history can teach us.
If the pandemic is a sort of climate ‘stress-test’, the world is failing it.
Buildings soak up the sun’s heat, but research shows that white roofs and surfaces can reduce temperatures inside, particularly during heat waves.
Abrupt losses of biodiversity from climate change represent a significant threat to human well-being.
This year’s twin crises have left Australians reeling. The concept of ‘rupture’ can help us understand what’s happening.
By not talking about climate change, especially the powerful emotions it can provoke, misinformation and eco-anxiety may take root.
Plants have evolved techniques for protecting themselves from heat and insect attacks – but when both these stresses happen at once, one defense may neutralize the other.
Coral bleaching last summer was severe and widespread. And for the first time, severe bleaching has struck all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef.
The coronavirus slowdown provides an opportunity to reset the economy to address climate change.
The risks to nature from man-made global warming – and the imperative to act – are clear.
The wet and low-lying East Siberian Arctic is likely to be a major methane source in the coming decades.
Arctic cod are key prey for seals, whales and seabirds. What happens when ship noise drives them away?
COVID-19 is the latest new infectious disease arising from our collision with nature.
The heatwave highlights the connectedness of our climate systems: from the monsoon tropics to the southernmost continent.
From a scientific perspective, the results are fascinating and world-first. From a personal perspective, what I saw will stay with me for a long time.
The coronavirus is devastating, but failing to tackle climate change because of the pandemic only compounds the tragedy.
Travelling to conferences and meetings has become a way of life for many of us – and has driven up emissions. Now COVID-19, not climate change, is forcing us to explore and develop alternatives.
