Climate artists can offer a vision of tangible networks, activities, behaviours and lifestyles that, rather than damaging the planet, support planetary — and personal — health and well-being.
As the ocean temperature rises, many marine species are moving toward the north and south poles in search of cooler waters, thus rewriting the menus of seafood restaurants on the West Coast of Canada.
The Coalition’s climate policy is consistent with a very dangerous 3℃ of global warming. But one party is comfortably consistent with keeping warming at safe levels.
The IPCC’s latest climate report discusses how colonialism has shaped climate, a breakthrough for the climate justice movement.
Under certain conditions, climate can amplify security risks, with implications for lasting peace.
Solutions already exist. What’s holding humanity back is the will to get past the status quo and embrace innovation.
Using our oceans as carbon sinks could help achieve climate goals set in the most recent IPCC report.
Climate change is a real threat to people, planet and prosperity. Every strategy has a role to play in contributing to a net-zero future.
In 2022, Australia is facing an election in which both major parties have little to offer on emissions reductions and moving away from fossil fuels.
Solar geoengineering could temporarily address the worst impacts of global warming.
A period of high fossil fuel prices has mixed implications.
A new international report on climate change finds rapid changes could cut emissions from transportation by 80% to 90%. Three behavior change trends could bring big improvements.
Fixing the climate crisis can be a source of pleasure and not just pain.
The outlook for potential emissions reduction is far better than in earlier assessments, thanks to the plunging costs of clean energy technologies.
Humanity is off track to keeping global warming to 1.5℃. But if we pull out all stops, we’ve still got a chance.
New breakwater designs and more sustainable materials can cut the carbon cost of coastal defences by 40%.
This seemingly one-off heatwave may be a harbinger for the future under climate change.
Three of the report’s 270 authors highlight some key findings.
Plus, a section of a rocket is about to crash on the Moon. What scientists hope to learn from it. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
