The most effective wildfire risk reduction happens long before the first 999 call.
A new study suggests the world’s mangrove forests are expanding.
New research shows disabled people remain overlooked in climate policy, despite lived experience that could help build more resilient communities.
On extremely hot days and in the aftermath of storms, people tend to hole up inside. Losing festivals, traditions and gathering places can worsen that loneliness.
Conservation cannot only protect habitats where species once lived – it must include the places where they will relocate in a warming world.
Done properly, rewilded landscapes are more fire-resistant.
This decrease of snowfall is driven by changing sea surface temperature patterns in the Indian Ocean, which is a signal of global warming.
Multiple pressures are acting simultaneously in threatening Tapanuli orangutan — from extractive industries to logging to agricultural expansion and, increasingly, climate-related disasters.
At local level, many grassroots initiatives are cropping up to tackle unforeseen climate-related events, but improvising and instinctive ways of working are often overlooked in public policy.
Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.
Could marine heatwaves in the cold Southern Ocean be making animals and birds migrate? It’s possible – but we need better monitoring to know.
We have to stop thinking of droughts simply as a static state of low moisture. Rapid drought changes can send fire risk soaring.
The Gironde wildfires reveal how logistics are key in firefighting. Emergency operations in the French region are twofold: providing relief and evacuating large populations.
The fires facing Spanish and French firefighters are harder to put out – and much more intense.
Wildfire smoke does not carry a passport. Canada cannot thin, log, rake or prescribe-burn its way out of a planetary crisis.
A wildfire can be explained by today’s barbecue, yesterday’s wind direction, a dry spring, four decades of land use change, or a century of emissions.
Changes that took millions of years can now happen in a matter of decades, and this accelerated rhythm can be destructive, with dangerous consequences for the planet
A court ruling expands the options for corporate accountability efforts against oil companies in France, and it may have repercussions in the US and elsewhere.
The battery boom is accelerating Australia’s shift away from gas.
