Climate
Global rivers experienced one of their driest years in over 30 years in 2025. Freshwater reserves including groundwater, lakes, and snow fell 42% below normal levels worldwide.
Policy
The Trump EPA eliminated emissions limits for coal and gas power plants, claiming this will lower electricity bills and have minimal climate impact. Environmental experts dispute both assertions as scientifically unfounded.
Policy
At least 124 environmental defenders were killed worldwide last year for protecting forests, farms, and waterways. The report attributes the rise in killings partly to reduced foreign aid from wealthy nations weakening human rights organizations.
Climate
A deadly glacier collapse in Nepal that killed at least 1,300 people in August was directly caused by decades of global warming, according to climate attribution researchers. The catastrophic event involved a cascade of semi-frozen debris, boulders, and rock flowing through the Langtang Lirung Mountain region at high speeds.
Climate
A powerful super El Niño event is forecast to reach 4°C warming in the equatorial Pacific, potentially causing one of the biggest global weather upheavals in a millennium with catastrophic impacts worldwide through 2027.
Policy
Global Witness documented 124 deaths of environmental defenders in 2025, with killings occurring every three days worldwide. Indigenous people, farmers, and activists face violence for protecting nature, though actual numbers are likely much higher due to verification challenges.
Policy
A Trump administration rule weakening the Endangered Species Act's habitat protections took effect after being proposed in April. The rule redefines the term 'harm' under the landmark 1973 conservation law, significantly reducing protections for imperiled species.
Policy
Brazil's upcoming election could result in 95% of the Amazon rainforest being governed by right-wing administrations. With 60% of the forest at stake, the outcome may significantly impact global climate and deforestation rates.
Policy
The Trump administration proposes repealing the EPA's Endangerment Finding, which would remove federal authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants under the Clean Air Act.
Wildlife
A Trump administration rule redefining "harm" under the Endangered Species Act takes effect, prompting Sierra Club and conservation groups to file lawsuits while states and lawmakers seek to reverse it.
Policy
The Trump administration has repealed most Biden-era EPA rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the second-largest source of U.S. emissions. The move comes as global temperatures reach record highs and UN reports warn of increasingly dangerous climate risks.
Policy
The Trump administration's EPA will strip itself of authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants under the Clean Air Act. The move removes a key regulatory tool for addressing climate change, following record US summer temperatures.
Policy
The EPA finalized a rule eliminating power plant pollution limits, with estimates projecting $2.8 trillion in health costs and thousands of annual deaths. The policy represents a significant rollback of environmental regulations.
Policy
The EPA is repealing rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas power plants, citing $300 billion in cost savings for the industry. The action reverses climate-focused regulations and prioritizes energy production.
Climate
Thawing tundras, fermenting wetlands, and increased wildfires are releasing massive emissions that amplify warming. Climate feedback loops could intensify human-driven warming by 20 to 30 percent.
Ocean
Coral reefs can recover from bleaching events, but rising ocean temperatures from marine heat waves prevent full recovery. The 1998 global bleaching event killed over 20% of reefs, yet some have shown resilience.
Climate
Indonesian wildfires are projected to produce emissions matching record levels seen this century due to El Niño conditions. The ongoing fires threaten to significantly impact global climate and air quality.
Climate
A new study finds that climate feedback loops from thawing permafrost, wildfires, and warming wetlands could increase global warming by up to 30% through methane and CO2 releases from natural sources.
Climate
August 2026 tied as the joint-hottest month on record with temperatures 1.65C above preindustrial levels, while sea surface temperatures also hit record highs. Scientists warn of further warming as El Niño approaches full strength.
Wildlife
Indonesia's Singkil peat swamp, the largest remaining coastal peatland on Sumatra's west coast and critical orangutan habitat, is being cleared, drained, and burned. The ecosystem is one of the most important peat swamp forests remaining on Earth.
Policy
International maritime decarbonization negotiations at the IMO failed for the third consecutive meeting due to opposition from fossil fuel-producing nations, including the US and Saudi Arabia. The stalled talks represent a setback in efforts to reduce shipping emissions amid accelerating climate change impacts.
Policy
UK ministers are poised to approve the Jackdaw gasfield in the North Sea this month, with the energy secretary expected to recommend approval next week. The government is also considering approval for the major Rosebank oilfield later this year.
Climate
A record-breaking El Niño event is approaching and expected to be the largest in at least 1,000 years, adding extreme heat to an already warming climate. The UN warns this will likely cause 2027 to become the hottest year on record.
Ocean
Record marine heat waves fueled by climate change and El Niño are threatening ocean ecosystems worldwide. Scientists warn the damage to sea life could be severe and long-lasting for both marine and coastal environments.
Climate
UN warns global heating will reach at least 1.8C, exceeding Paris agreement's 1.5C target. Scientists say rapid emissions cuts and carbon removal could still prevent overshoot.
