Climate models can’t see tornadoes, but they can recognize the conditions for tornadoes to form. An atmospheric scientist explains what that means for forecasting future risks.
Menus that are three-quarters vegetarian help meat eaters choose more climate-friendly options, a tactic that restaurants could use to help fight climate change.
If the UK is to achieve net zero by 2050, it needs to get moving on making a successful green transition across fuel, transport and housing.
If we want to limit global warming to below 2°C, most of our untapped fossil fuel reserves need to be kept in the ground.
Global floods in 2021 showed the danger of poor emergency preparedness - and the importance of planning ahead.
Labor’s 2030 emission reduction target of 43% is more ambitious than the Coalition, but still falls well below what the science says is needed.
The sheer scale of emissions from the expansion, and projects linked, to it will make achieving 2030 emission targets much harder for Western Australia and by extension, Australia and the world.
Warming seas are harming albatross couples’ resilience, leading to higher rates of separation in the seabirds.
New climate simulations show that there will be more rain and less snow falling in the Arctic by the end of the century, particularly in the fall and winter.
Faith leaders hold significant financial and political power - it’s their duty to use it to shape the future of our planet.
COP26 saw progress and announcements, but the commitments made by states — in addition to having to pass the test of implementation —fall far short of what the science requires.
Women’s rights activists used maps to highlight which regions hadn’t given women the vote: we can use the same tactics to push climate action.
It’s hypocritical for retailers to make carbon pledges with one hand and continue pushing consumerism with the other.
New research shows that universities could offset carbon by changing some of their land to woodlands and meadows.
From buses in Bogotá to cycling through Cambridge, we can learn valuable lessons from how countries across the world deliver sustainable transport.
Research on the front lines of climate change highlights the need to address the mental health outcomes of extreme weather events.
COP26 resulted in new climate commitments from countries across the world - here’s what they could mean for our future.
Permaculture – a mashup of ‘permanent’ and ‘culture’ – is a way of doing agriculture that’s inspired by the resilience and biodiversity of healthy natural ecosystems.
As well as helping to save the planet, climate action provides huge opportunities to enhance people’s health, security and economic prospects.
