Good communication about climate change requires much more than just alarming messages about all the scary impacts of a warming planet.
The fossil fuel industry depends on massive government support, which makes the public foot the bill for a harmful and uncompetitive industry.
A significant change in political mentality is required to shore up one of Africa’s leading lights.
Our body is able to regulate its temperature very effectively, but heat waves can damage certain organs if we are not careful…
Australia has well established urban design guidelines, whereas many Chinese cities don’t have any – and it shows. But Australia can also learn from China.
At best, planting trees won’t be enough on its own to slow climate change. At worst, it’s a dangerous distraction.
Cuba is offering a compelling example of how we can take care of each other during the climate crisis with its work training doctors on Kiribati, a nation that is being devastated by climate change.
Some 58 metres of sea level rise is locked up in Antartica’s ice sheets, and it’s melting faster than expected.
New research indicates that rising temperatures can push those who prefer sweets to drink more sugary beverages, not water. This has significant implications for public-health policy.
Cities make their own climate, so such like-for-like comparisons are too simplistic.
The fervour over plastic waste is not as informed as it ought to be. It is time to focus on more significant dangers to the environment.

Climate change is accelerating and species are dying out at a record rate. Experts imagine how inviting nature into our lives could help.
Universities play a significant role in the high and rising air travel footprint – and they need to do more about it.
