Hot spots occur at the scale of where people live – the building, the street, the block – which means urban design and building materials have profound implications for our health and well-being.
Australia will be one of more than 160 nations formally signing the Paris climate agreement in New York this week. But delivering on those promises is what really counts.
The global economy is already unsustainable – let alone if it gets bigger.
As Brazil struggles through a political and economic crisis, its soybean farmers are thriving. Their growing clout could trigger new deforestation and undercut the nation’s climate change pledges.
A new study confirms that 97% of publishing climate scientists believe humans are causing global warming.
Peabody, the world’s largest private coal company, has filed for bankruptcy, symbolising the world’s swing away from coal.
Marine sediments provide evidence of climate variability in South Africa going back 270,000 years. These changes correspond with changes in the archaeological record of the country.
Renewable energy has had a rough time in Australia. Good climate policy could fix that.
The bleaching hitting the Great Barrier Reef not only harms corals. As these close-up photos show, it also deprives many other species of a home and livelihood.
It’s a transition the rest of the world is watching: How can we know whether coal use in China – the world’s largest emitter – is going up or down?
Building on local experience and having access to current and expected climate trends is crucial to adapting to climate change for farmers in semi-arid regions.
Global average sea level has risen by about 17 cm between 1900 and 2005, but we didn’t know how much of that was due to us, until now.
Climate change may threaten the survival of the Cape frog. The solution could lie in creating corridors for them to move to new habitats and more suitable climate spaces.
Animals and plants may not be able to keep up with the speed of climate change. We could help them move.
Academics are studying whether talking about climate change as a health risk, rather than an environmental or economic issue, will dispel Americans’ general indifference to global warming.
Multiple times over the centuries, climate issues caused Pueblo farming to collapse, taking the establishment down with it. New research suggests there are parallels with American inequalities today.
If planning decisions properly considered the value of trees in a city, we could have a modern transport system and tree-lined views to enhance the journey.
Working out how Mars’s carbon dioxide was turned into rock could help with carbon capture efforts on our own planet.
The Paris Agreement marks an important step towards climate change mitigation – one in which developed and developing countries alike take action.
