While poorer nations face more severe climate impacts, their ‘social cost of carbon’ remains disproportionately low, reflecting deeper economic inequities that complicate global climate action.
Purely technical solutions to the challenges of sustainable development will likely end in failure. Living within planetary boundaries will require a unified effort across disciplines and economies.
Helene’s size and speed worsened everything from its storm surge to its extreme flooding in the mountains. And another hurricane was coming right on Helene’s heels.
Utilizing carbon contracts for difference mechanisms could help the federal government maintain its climate policies. But overly relying on these tools brings its own risks.
Recent wildfires in Belize shows how we must work together to revitalize Indigenous knowledge systems and plant the seeds of collaborative climate action.
Insurers are raising rates quickly, and it’s not just in California and Florida. They’re often shrinking coverage at the same time.
Invasive species are not always harmful; some can even provide key benefits to native habitats in an era of climate change. Canadian conservation efforts should embrace the movement of species.
A report on the future impact of climate change has found more than 150 Australian tourism sites are at risk, but it probably underestimates the potential damage.
As a record-hot summer comes to a close, an atmospheric scientist explains how global warming drove long periods of extreme heat.
On an island off Africa where one of the local languages has no established words for climate change, a researcher discovers lessons for everyone in discussing climate change.
Recent changes to the ISO management system standards have potential to advance action on climate change and promote global environmental awareness, if implemented properly.
The fossil fuel industry uses universities to authenticate themselves as players in developing climate solutions, while they expand extraction and grow profits. Universities must disclose their ties.
Societal collapse is a complex phenomemon tied to the abilities of a society to meet its population’s basic needs. Understanding past examples of collapse can provide valuable insights.
With new temperature records being broken year-on-year, it may seem tempting to assume that the world will only get warmer. This is a false assumption, as warming is occurring, but it can be stopped.
Earth’s climate has become dangerously unstable, and it’s only a matter of time before somewhere in Australia erupts in uncontrollable fire.
Efforts to address climate change can learn a lot from the decades-long gender mainstreaming efforts.
Construction activity will use up almost half of the world’s remaining carbon budget to keep global warming under 1.5°C unless we totally rethink our approach.
It’s rare to see both Nina’s at the same time, but both appeared to be developing in 2024. That could help soften hurricane season, but don’t bet on it.
Record-breaking winter warmth has been felt across large parts of Australia, with more to come in coming days. A climate scientist explains what’s going on.
