Climate
Scientists report that seven of nine planetary boundaries have been breached at record levels due to pollution and habitat destruction. Earth's life support systems have deteriorated to their worst recorded state.
Policy
The Bureau of Land Management has exempted oil and gas exploration from environmental reviews in Alaska's Western Arctic. Companies can now explore for fossil fuels without conducting required environmental assessments.
Wildlife
Global vertebrate populations have declined by 73% over 50 years, but a new Living Planet report reveals some species are recovering. The findings show both alarming biodiversity loss and emerging conservation successes.
Policy
The Trump administration announced it will bypass environmental reviews under NEPA to expedite Arctic oil and gas drilling. The Sierra Club criticized the decision as allowing companies to exploit pristine Arctic ecosystems.
Policy
The EPA plans to roll back 2024 methane pollution safeguards following delays in implementation. The Trump administration announced the rollback during a closed-door meeting with fossil fuel industry representatives.
Climate
A severe El Niño event is causing extreme weather globally, breaking temperature records and causing flooding in Bangkok. Climate experts will discuss the crisis and its projected impact of 450,000 deaths by February.
Climate
Ozone pollution from fires, combined with extreme heat and drought, is reducing the Amazon rainforest's carbon dioxide absorption capacity. Forests currently absorb over 11 billion metric tons of human-caused CO2 annually, but declining forest areas threaten this critical climate function.
Wildlife
Africa's monitored wildlife populations have declined 80% since 1970, according to a new global assessment. The report also identifies pockets of recovery where conservation efforts have been sustained.
Policy
Australia's high court ruled invalid the approval of a coalmine expansion in NSW, finding that exported greenhouse gas emissions must be considered. The landmark decision sets a precedent for future fossil fuel projects.
Policy
Indonesia is restricting access to government forest data while experiencing increased deforestation. The data restrictions obscure the true extent of forest loss in the country.
Wildlife
Indonesia's rainforests face severe fires fueled by El Niño conditions, threatening the survival of critically endangered Bornean orangutans. Scientists are calling for urgent action to prevent local extinction of over half the world's population of this species.
Policy
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday regarding over two dozen lawsuits against oil companies for allegedly deceiving the public about climate change. The cases seek billions in damages to cover costs from climate-related extreme weather events.
Policy
The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case where major oil companies seek to block climate damage lawsuits at the state level. Experts suggest the court may struggle to write a majority decision favoring industry.
Policy
Brazil's far-right presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro won the most votes in deforestation hotspots in the Oct. 4 election, advancing to a runoff against incumbent leftist President Lula. The result raises concerns about environmental protection given the candidate's family's history of anti-conservation policies.
Climate
A new study reveals that permafrost thaw, wetlands, wildfires, and freshwater systems could amplify climate change by up to 30% through feedback loops. As Arctic frozen ground melts, it releases methane and carbon dioxide from decomposing organic matter, accelerating warming.
Ocean
Satellite data shows oil slicks from ships and platforms cover 1.6 million square kilometers of ocean annually, an area larger than Mongolia. The estimate comes from Skytruth using satellite imagery and machine learning analysis.
Policy
Brazil's upcoming presidential election could reshape Amazon conservation policy. A potential Bolsonaro victory threatens to reverse deforestation controls implemented by President Lula.
Climate
EU Copernicus report confirms western Europe experienced record summer heat in 2023, with temperatures 2.5C above average and deadly heat stress affecting over half the continent. The data indicates Europe's third hottest summer on record overall.
Climate
Swiss glaciers lost 19.4% of their ice since 2021, with 5.5% melting in just eight months of 2026 due to extreme heatwaves and low snowfall. Scientists warn the Alpine region is experiencing unprecedented glacier collapse from climate change.
Wildlife
El Niño-driven wildfires are devastating Indonesia's forests and peatlands, threatening orangutan populations including rescued mother and infant. Long-term effects on the species remain unknown as habitats burn.
Policy
Australia's Independent Planning Commission approved the largest coalmine expansion in NSW history, which will produce 809 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over 19 years. The decision contradicts climate science and demonstrates governance failures in addressing the climate crisis.
Climate
Germany recorded 16,000 heat-related deaths during summer heat waves from May to August, the country's highest ever. Experts are convening at the 2026 Extreme Weather Congress to address how adaptation efforts are failing to keep pace with climate extremes.
Policy
An analysis links Jair Bolsonaro's tweets and anti-conservation rhetoric as president of Brazil to increased Amazon deforestation rates. His administration weakened environmental protections and gutted agencies responsible for forest conservation.
Ocean
Scientists have created global maps documenting 40 years of ocean heat and acidification extremes, including the devastating 2014-2015 "Blob" marine heatwave that caused widespread ecological damage across the Pacific.
Climate
An incoming El Niño event is so extreme it lacks an established scientific classification. Climate scientist Daniel Swain studies record-breaking weather and climate outliers in a warming world.
