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.

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.
