The low submission rate undermines the global commitment to climate action.
The atmosphere now has the highest carbon dioxide levels in the last 800,000 years – and global heat records have toppled yet again. Coincidence? Of course not
The global length of ditches is unknown, but these unassuming bodies of water play a significant role in the global climate crisis.
Reducing emissions, removing greenhouse gases, repairing ecosystems and building resilience are the four R’s that can save the planet.
Product labelling showing whether food comes mainly from animals or plants can help consumers make more climate-friendly choices.
Addressing climate change involves many industries and sectors, including housing. Net-zero housing requires collaboration from all levels of government and the building sector.
Aridity is silently spreading through many of the world’s cocoa-producing regions. There are steps we can take to save them.
Improved computer models shed light on how reducing sulphur emissions will inadvertently release methane from wetlands.
Evidence suggests burning more coal and gas will damage many industries. So why are food distributors lobbying for more fossil fuels?
Game theory research suggests that environmental action is not all about summits.
Shipping produces roughly the same amount of emissions as aviation, yet it is often overlooked. It’s time for change.
