Policy
A UN report warns that the world has only a limited time to restore forests, with over 489 million hectares cleared since 1990. The FAO urges governments to prioritize forest restoration for food security and climate resilience.
Policy
Brazil's Amazon rainforest has retained approximately 20,000 square kilometers of forest since President Lula took office in 2022. The preserved area, equivalent to the size of New Jersey, represents a significant conservation achievement under his administration.
Climate
Extreme heat killed at least 30,000 people across Europe this summer, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. A UN report warns the final death toll will likely be higher.
Policy
The Trump administration finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards for vehicles, which critics argue will increase emissions and health risks. The move is expected to impact EV adoption and result in higher fuel costs for consumers.
Policy
The Trump administration announced it is relaxing clean car emission standards for model years 2022-2031, reducing requirements on automakers to control pollution from gasoline vehicles. Environmentalists criticized the move as detrimental to efforts to reduce climate emissions and boost electric vehicle adoption.
Energy
Global solar capacity additions reached 690 GW in 2025, bringing cumulative capacity to 2.96 TWh. Solar energy is now theoretically capable of generating around 12% of global electricity consumption.
Climate
Antarctic sea ice has reached its third-lowest winter peak extent in 48 years of satellite records. Scientists describe the persistent low ice levels as concerning.
Ocean
Global coral reefs are losing hard coral cover and recovery time between increasingly frequent marine heat waves, according to the most comprehensive global assessment released by GCRMN. The world's reefs face accelerating degradation as ocean temperatures continue to rise.
Policy
Brazil's tropical forest fund needs to raise $2.7 billion before a December deadline to preserve a historic rainforest pledge. Global donors must act quickly to prevent the funding commitment from collapsing.
Climate
The 2026 Planetary Health Check warns that human activities are eroding planetary stability, with seven of nine planetary boundaries in critical condition. Lead researcher Levke Caesar notes that current trends are moving in the wrong direction.
Opinion
A record-breaking El Niño is combining with human-caused climate change to create dangerous conditions. The World Food Programme warns 50 million people may face acute hunger from the resulting extreme heat and weather.
Policy
A Senate report reveals fossil fuel companies received an estimated $190bn in tax breaks and subsidies over the next decade following donations to Trump. The report claims taxpayers will bear higher costs for the benefits granted to major polluters.
Climate
Climate scientists project over 450,000 deaths from a super El Niño over the next six months, with impacts spanning from Indonesia to the US. The deaths will result from extreme heat, droughts, wildfires, and flooding on top of existing climate crisis casualties.
Climate
Climate scientists project that a super El Niño will cause approximately 451,000 heat-related deaths globally over the next six months. The phenomenon releases accumulated ocean heat into the atmosphere, intensifying global warming effects.
Climate
A record-breaking 'super' El Niño is heating the planet to unprecedented temperatures months before reaching peak intensity. The phenomenon could cause approximately 450,000 deaths in the next six months.
Ocean
The ocean has absorbed over 90% of excess heat and 25% of CO2 emissions from human activity, protecting us from worse climate impacts. This absorption comes at a significant cost to ocean health and ecosystems.
Ocean
Rising sea levels are reshaping economies, livelihoods, and cultures for millions worldwide, posing an existential threat to humans, heritage, and nature. The article explains how ocean level rise creates cascading impacts across global communities and ecosystems.
Climate
A 'super El Niño' event is reaching record-breaking sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. The phenomenon represents a remarkable climate milestone with significant global implications.
Policy
Brazil's upcoming election could undermine Amazon conservation efforts as the country shifts politically rightward. The results may leave the rainforest without strong governmental protection.
Climate
A glacial collapse on the Tibetan Plateau triggered a catastrophic flood in Nepal and China, killing over 1,000 people with thousands more missing. The disaster highlights climate-driven risks to Himalayan regions and serves as a warning about glacier instability.
Climate
A UN climate summit warning indicates current policies will result in at least 1.8°C of global warming, exceeding the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target. Climate scientist Michael Mann discusses the implications of Earth surpassing this critical warming threshold.
Ocean
Global ocean temperatures reached record highs for 100 consecutive days between June and September, with El Niño intensifying warming conditions. Data from the University of Maine's Climate Change Institute tracked unprecedented sea surface temperatures across non-polar regions.
Wildlife
Tapanuli orangutans, the world's rarest great ape, face mounting threats from mining, landslides, and El Niño-driven fires with no coordinated recovery strategy in place. Mining operations are resuming and development plans remain active despite the ecological crisis.
Climate
A glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border killed over 1,300 people and left 5,000 missing, with new research linking the disaster to fossil fuel pollution. Nepal seeks $20 million from the UN's loss and damage fund toward a $5 billion rebuilding effort.
Wildlife
The Trump administration's Fish and Wildlife Service memo reinterprets the Endangered Species Act's definition of 'take,' potentially weakening protections for over 1,600 imperiled species. The change could significantly reduce federal safeguards for critically endangered wildlife.
