The last remaining tropical glaciers between the Himalayas and the Andes will disappear in the next decade – and possibly sooner – due to climate change, a new study has found. The researchers believe...
Botanists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that evergreen species such as Christmas favourites, holly and ivy, are more climate-ready in the face of warming temperatures than deciduous trees like birch and oak. Theory...
An international team of researchers have assessed the effects of polar warming. They warn that the consequences are expected to reach far beyond the polar regions. With 2019 on pace as one of the...
An alliance of conservationists and researchers is converting oil palm plantations into near-natural rainforests on Borneo. The conversion will restore the high biodiversity of the tropical rainforests on Borneo in Malaysia by establishing a...
How can the phasing out of fossil fuels be organised in a way that is fair to the Global North and the Global South? Or is it inevitable that developing countries will be unfairly...
The 11th edition of the #REMforum 2020 addresses the tectonic shifts that happened in the climate debate over the last 12 months and their implications for management of renewable energies. Entitled “System Change, not...
New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) suggests that male migration and poor working conditions for women combine with institutional failure or poverty to hamper women’s ability to adapt to climate...
Climate change is reorganizing the life in our oceans in a big way: as waters warm, cold-loving species, from plankton to fish, leave the area and warm water species become more successful. So say...
Climate activists who joined in grassroots movements managed to cut their carbon footprints and were still happier than their non-activist peers, new research shows. Nancy Bazilchuk reports from Norway. US President Donald Trump is...
New research shows the lifelong health consequences of rising temperatures for a child born today under a business-as-usual path. Climate change is already damaging the health of the world’s children and is set to...
New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has quantified the climate and air quality impacts of aviation, broken down by emission type, altitude and location. The MIT team found that growth in...
Mitsubishi´s Plug-in Hybrid is more than just an electric car, it’s an energy station on wheels that helps homeowners and public institutions cope with power outages. Vehicle to Home is the name of the...
New numbers reveal a staggering increase in the carbon impacts – 626% higher than previously thought – due to losses of intact tropical forest between 2000 and 2013. A new study in the journal...
Filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer doesn’t make it easy for himself. In his latest film But Beautiful, he seeks the beautiful and the good, and shows people breaking new ground. What could a satisfying life look...
A team from ETH Zurich has mapped out “routes” towards emission-free shipping by investigating shipping activities in the North and Baltic Seas. Infrastructure, costs of new fuels and storage options have also been analysed....
