Fossil-fuel dependence, the costs of adapting to a changing climate and the transition to cleaner energy are all driving up costs.
Scientists have been monitoring the reef’s health for the past 40 years.
Conservation cannot only protect habitats where species once lived – it must include the places where they will relocate in a warming world.
This decrease of snowfall is driven by changing sea surface temperature patterns in the Indian Ocean, which is a signal of global warming.
Heat waves pose a threat to older adults, but a recent study suggests that they retain an unexpected ability to adapt to high temperatures.
Australian scientists are exploring ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere – using our oceans.
The full picture of potential consequences of the UK’s marine heatwaves is only just starting to emerge.
Most of the heat from global warming ends up in the oceans, not the atmosphere.
Some of South America’s tropical forests effectively stopped absorbing carbon during the 2015-2016 El Niño.
Permafrost holds an extraordinary molecular record of ancient life — and we are only now learning to read it, just as warming begins to erase it.
A hotter, drier and more fire-prone future is putting these unique trees at risk.
The minerals needed for clean energy are driving widespread forest loss across Africa, much of it far beyond the mine itself and largely preventable.
Most states know that without widely understood and accepted international laws and principles it would be harder to resolve their disagreements peacefully.
As people across Europe are having to acclimatise to an unprecedented heatwave, coordinated responses for tackling extreme heat need to come from the top, and there’s no time to lose.
A climate expert unpacks the potential causes and risks of extreme heat.
Studying the scale and intensity of previous fires can help us to detect thermal hotspots earlier and support faster, smarter crisis response and post-fire restoration.
Global warming is moving faster than the policy decisions that could protect vulnerable populations.
Surprisingly, the species that are the most tolerant to heat, are also the most vulnerable to future warming.
A key climate warning sign just hit a record high.
