The kind of climate action outlined by the ubiquitous climate checklists won’t be enough.
William Nordhaus showed that the market offers the best chance for preventing global catastrophe form climate change.
Limiting global warming to 1.5C is a tough challenge but still within reach, according to a landmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change commissioned after the 2015 Paris summit.
The world needs to be carbon-neutral by mid-century to give ourselves a chance of holding global warming to 1.5C. With around 1% of the global carbon budget, Australia needs to rapidly do its share.
Here are the essential facts from the UN’s special report on climate change.
As climate change alters temperature and precipitation patterns across the US, it is having especially severe impacts on national parks. These changes could happen faster than many plants and animals can adapt.
Without action about 50 African countries and surrounding islands will be affected by rising sea levels.
Comparing the locations of key internet data centers and cable routes with maps of expected sea-level rise suggests it’s time to shore up internet connections in the face of a changing climate.
Climate change will change the dynamic for major food exporters like China and the US.
Two business professors spent five years studying Walmart’s ambition project to bring sustainability to its millions of budget-conscious customers – a plan that began with the birth of a granddaughter.
‘Hothouse Earth’ is not a sure thing – yet. Here’s what you can do about it.
Heatwave deaths this summer make it clear: climate change is a severe public health threat, and those who live alone are at greatest risk.
From Greece, to the UK, to Japan and even Sweden, a slew of places in the Northern Hemisphere are suffering extreme heat. And the chances of extreme heat records tumbling are growing all the time.
The 2016 heatwave that caused mass bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef didn’t just kill corals - it also significantly changed the makeup of fish communities that call these reefs home.
What will Antarctica look like in 2070? Will the icy wilderness we know today survive, or will it succumb to climate change and human pressure? Our choices over the coming decade will seal its fate.
Since 1995, several ice shelves off the Antarctic Peninsula have abruptly disintegrated. A new analysis suggests that these events are triggered when ice shelves lose their buffer of floating ice.
New research has suggested a fresh way to account for greenhouse gases with different lifetimes in the atmosphere.
Keeping global warming to 1.5°C could significantly decrease the frequency of extreme climate events across Africa.
Not the sort of amount you’d want to lose down the back of the sofa.
