Peruvian glaciers have shrunk by 25% since 1987, causing water shortages in rural villages. But ancient technology could help manage this precious resource.
Doctors have long taken up global issues, from nuclear war to ozone depletion and climate change, and helped shift the course of history.
As our planet warms, the number of air-conditioning units worldwide is expected to triple by 2050 – yet their use drives climate change. So how can we break the cycle?
Rainforest species didn’t co-evolve with fire – and even a low intensity wildfire can kill half the trees.
While the world watches the Brazilian Amazon burn, across the border in Bolivia it’s also ablaze.
Your next flight could be the single biggest contribution to global warming you make all year. Experts imagine how we might travel in future, without the ‘flygskam’.
The use of fossil fuels has to end and be replaced by sustainable energy as quickly as possible. The Paris Agreement was a good start but states continuing to work together is key.
White nationalists in the US and Europe are appropriating the language of environmentalism.
Parts of Ethiopia will likely be hotter, drier, and more water stressed - with consequences for human and economic development.
Geology will be key to any green transition, but its academic reputation needs an urgent makeover.
As a wealthy nation with global diplomatic and multilateral influence, Canada is among a small subset of nations uniquely positioned to act individually and collaboratively on climate change.
Some climate scientists have spoken out about the dangers of climate change. But a new study shows those voices may not be very influential.
Populism focuses on charismatic individuals. Environmentalism is all about collective action on collective solutions. How do they come together?
New Zealand is small and generates a tiny fraction of global greenhouse gas emissions, but investment in cutting emissions is important and could influence other, larger countries.
Environmental charities are worried about speaking out about climate change during the upcoming federal campaign for fear Elections Canada will consider their activities as “partisan.”
A warming climate will affect the way waves hit over 50% of the world’s coastlines, increasing erosion and the risk of flooding.
Allergic reactions to pollen may occur at different times of the year and for prolonged periods, and this will worsen with climate change.
Fossil fuels are heating the atmosphere – but the fact that we’re burning them may not be the only reason.
As the oceans warm, fish are moving to stay in temperature zones where they have evolved to live. This is helping some species, hurting others and causing a net reduction in potential catch.
