Green technology innovation is revolutionizing how we live our lives – be it an electric car or smartphone made with biodegradable materials. Green construction techniques reduce the environmental impact of buildings throughout their life cycles. E-waste recycling programs turn discarded gadgets into cash for consumers. Voices like Augustine and Joseph demand significant institutional efforts; Cilia […]

The ocean is essential to life on our planet, and protecting its ecosystems requires us to adjust how we live and work. Just like its 1960s counterpart, fish farming’s “Blue Revolution” promised to dramatically boost global food production and thus relieve hunger. Unfortunately, however, many fear it will damage wild fisheries and cause a devastating […]

No area of the world will escape climate change’s impacts; however, its effects will vary significantly among communities. Poorer counties in the U.S. will experience greater damage as a result. Some individuals can afford measures to combat climate pollution; unfortunately, billions of others cannot. 1. Loss of life and property Climate change has already caused […]

Global warming is at an all-time high and world leaders need to act now if we want to avoid irreparable damage to the planet. Scientists warn that if temperatures continue their current path, Earth could reach tipping points — irreversible environmental changes — which may prove devastating for people, wildlife and natural ecosystems alike. Adaptation […]

By heeding the IPCC’s urgent advice to limit warming, we may be able to prevent crossing critical thresholds that could have irreparable repercussions for both people and nature. But if we continue releasing carbon dioxide at its current pace, the future of climate change could look very different. Warmer temperatures will have different effects in […]

Climate change is an increase in global average temperature caused by human activities – particularly the burning of fossil fuels that add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to Earth’s atmosphere. But people can adapt to climate hazards and take advantage of opportunities that come with changing weather conditions. Communities around the world are getting better at doing […]

Human consumption, population growth and global trade have created a demand for natural resources that exceeds what the earth can replenish. Deforestation and forest degradation are key causes of this climate change imbalance. People depend on forests for food, water, medicine and wood. When forests are lost or degraded, it sets off a chain of […]

When global temperatures rise, they give more heat energy to the atmosphere. This in turn can make droughts and wildfires worse and lead to flooding when it rains. Scientists are studying how these extreme events may be linked to climate change. To understand this emerging field, Carbon Brief has mapped every attribution study on the […]
