Energy
China's coal power output increased in early 2026 despite record renewable energy growth, suggesting last year's emissions drop may be temporary. The mixed progress raises concerns about the sustainability of China's energy transition.
Ocean
A UN report reveals mounting ocean pressures from pollution, overfishing, and climate change. However, ocean governance frameworks are showing signs of improvement despite the deepening crisis.
Climate
Brazil's Amazon deforestation fell 23.5% in 2025 compared to 2024, with nationwide forest loss declining 21% across all biomes. Nearly 985,000 hectares of forest loss were recorded in the year.
Climate
U.S. meteorologists have confirmed the formation of a major El Niño event expected to drive extreme weather globally including heat waves, floods, droughts, and fires over the next year.
Climate
El Niño has officially formed in the Pacific Ocean and could reach historic intensity levels by fall, potentially amplifying extreme weather globally. US meteorologists predict it may be the strongest in a century, with the UN calling it an urgent climate warning.
Climate
Antarctic winter temperatures exceeded 15°C in June, breaking previous records and raising climate concerns. Scientists warn the extreme heat demonstrates the accelerating pace of global warming in the frozen region.
Climate
A record-high energy imbalance is accelerating global warming faster than previously observed. Greenhouse gas emissions are trapping heat at unprecedented rates, intensifying planetary heating.
Wildlife
Extreme rainfall in Indonesia killed 58 critically endangered Tapanuli orangutans, 7% of the remaining global population. The climate-fueled disaster raises concerns about the species' survival.
Policy
A new report reveals the world's 65 largest banks financed fossil fuels with $906 billion in 2025, up 8% from the previous year. JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America lead global fossil fuel funding since the Paris Agreement.
Energy
Global solar PV installations reached 698 GW in 2025, more than doubling a 2012 forecast that was initially dismissed as overly ambitious. The dramatic acceleration demonstrates the rapid expansion of renewable energy capacity worldwide.
EV
China's top 16 best-selling cars are all electric vehicles as of May, marking a significant decline in traditional gasoline car sales. The shift reflects structural changes in the world's largest auto market toward electrification.
Climate
Europe experiences an exceptional spring heatwave in June 2026. Climate research highlights warming forecasts and concerns about AMOC observations being at risk.
Policy
The world's 65 largest banks increased fossil fuel financing by $64bn to $906bn in 2025, contradicting climate commitments. Researchers warn this surge locks in continued coal, oil, and gas production despite global temperature rise.
EV
China's transition to electric and new energy vehicles reduced urban air pollution enough to prevent an estimated 262,000 premature deaths, according to a peer-reviewed study. The findings provide strong real-world evidence that vehicle electrification delivers measurable public health benefits.
Ocean
The UN warns that oceans face severe and accelerating pressure from human activities, with sea-level rise now doubling at the rate seen a decade ago. Multiple stressors including pollution and industrial fishing are causing widespread biodiversity loss and straining ocean systems.
Policy
The Trump administration's plan to dismantle the US ocean observation system would severely degrade weather prediction accuracy and increase errors in ocean heating estimates. Scientists warn this would compromise a vital global network for understanding climate and marine ecosystems.
Policy
Trump announces $700m in federal funding for two new coal plants in Alaska and West Virginia using wartime powers. The move contradicts scientific consensus on coal's climate impact despite administration framing it as 'clean energy.'
Ocean
The U.S. is dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $386 million network of 900+ sensors that has provided decade-long ocean and climate data. Scientists warn this creates a critical blind spot in monitoring ocean health and climate change.
Policy
The Trump administration is dismantling an ocean observation system with over 900 instruments used to monitor Atlantic currents at risk of collapse due to climate change. The loss of this data will impair scientists' ability to study critical ocean systems affected by warming.
Policy
The US administration is shutting down the Ocean Observatories Initiative and removing its ocean sensors. This action eliminates a critical research operation for monitoring ocean health and climate.
Policy
The Trump administration plans to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $368 million network of over 900 instruments that has provided crucial data on ocean health and climate change for more than a decade.
Climate
The UN's World Meteorological Organization warns El Niño has an 80% chance of forming by September, with 90% likelihood of persisting until November. The phenomenon is expected to intensify global temperatures and worsen extreme weather patterns worldwide.
Climate
Another warm, dry winter could leave Colorado River reservoirs critically depleted, according to new expert projections. The report builds on previous assessments of how federally managed dams will perform under different water availability scenarios.
Climate
Louisiana faces accelerating sea level rise from human-caused warming, forcing difficult decisions about planned relocation versus reactive crisis management. The state must choose between proactive adaptation strategies or allowing environmental changes to dictate future outcomes.
Climate
The UN's World Meteorological Organization warns that a record-breaking hot year is almost certain by 2030 as the climate crisis intensifies. With an El Niño event expected later this year, global temperature records could be broken as soon as 2027.
