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 […]

Climate Clock Is Ticking and requires us to take immediate steps for a sustainable future. To reduce carbon emissions, support renewable energy use and raise awareness among individuals and organizations. The Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change in Berlin developed this display to show people how many years, days, minutes and seconds […]

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 […]

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 […]

The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide blankets Earth’s atmosphere, preventing heat energy from escaping. That extra heat raises temperatures, warming the planet and disrupting nature’s usual balance. This animation, by Carbon Brief, shows national responsibility for historical emissions. It ranks nations by their total cumulative CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and land use change since 1850, […]

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 […]
