New research detailed in The Conversation provides five ways cities can better cope with and become more resilient to climate change through progressive climate adaptation. The world’s societies, economies and ecosystems are under imminent threat from climate breakdown. But, due to what the United Nations has termed an “adaptation gap,” many countries and cities are […]
The extreme flooding event that hit the Congolese “megacity” capital of Kinshasa and surrounding areas, killing at least several dozen, is part of a trend expected to repeat roughly every other year, likely due to climate change, a new report has found. The study, published by the World Weather Attribution (WWA), found that the extreme […]
According to the 40th annual America’s Most Endangered Rivers report by American Rivers, half the rivers in the United States contain unsafe pollution levels, with freshwater species becoming extinct faster than land or ocean species.

A recent “extraordinary” heatwave throughout Central Asia was strengthened by climate change, which bolstered the warming by nearly half and made the event roughly three times as likely, according to a new study from the World Weather Attribution (WWA). The heatwave from March 18-22 saw temperatures soar to upward of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees […]
Colorado State University (CSU) researchers are predicting an “above-average” Atlantic hurricane season this year, with a likelihood of more frequent storms, including nine hurricanes and 17 named storms. The Tropical Cyclones, Radar, Atmospheric Modeling, and Software (TC-RAMS) Team within the Department of Atmospheric Science at CSU cited warmer than average sea surface temperatures in the […]
In a new review published in the journal Oxford Open Climate Change, scientists have issued an urgent warning that the fossil fuel industry and its products are driving intertwined crises threatening humans, wildlife and our shared future on this planet. The collaborative review by scientists from the Center for Biological Diversity and several universities synthesizes […]
Tackling the climate crisis with bold action will increase nations’ economic growth instead of damaging it as net-zero policy critics have claimed, according to new research from the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
