New research shows earthquake patterns can help forecast Mount Etna eruptions Mount Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Located on the east coast of Sicily, it erupts multiple times per year – most recently in June this year. While it is somewhat possible to predict eruptions, a new study published in Science Advances […]
Europe’s ‘strained’ energy and water system could slash GDP by up to eight per cent in high-income countries. Water waste is “amplifying the climate crisis” and damaging economic resilience. Experts are now calling for urgent action. A new report from Danfoss warns that the water sector’s energy consumption is expected to double by 2040, while […]
A new study reveals that marine heatwaves can dramatically alter ocean food webs, disrupting how carbon moves through the water and reducing the ocean’s ability to absorb and store atmospheric carbon. The research, published on October 6 in Nature Communications, was carried out by scientists from MBARI, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, […]
A team of scientists led by Rutgers University researchers has found that sea levels today are climbing more quickly than at any time in the past 4,000 years, with China’s coastal cities facing some of the most severe risks. To uncover this trend, the researchers analyzed thousands of geological records from natural indicators such as […]

The State of Climate Action 2025 report, produced by Systems Change Lab, finds that […]
As part of the Abu Dhabi Climate Change Strategy, the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), in partnership with TotalEnergies, has launched a groundbreaking seagrass restoration program, marking a pivotal step in preserving Abu Dhabi’s marine ecosystems and reinforcing its global role in promoting nature-based solutions to address the challenges of climate change. This year-long project […]
Melting glaciers and thermal expansion are driving the ‘acceleration’ of sea level rise to record levels. Sea levels are rising faster than at any point in the last 4,000 years, highlighting the urgent need for “global and local” action. New research has warned that climate change and human activities are driving the surge, which poses […]
Humanity is entering a “new reality,” as scientists warn that the planet has now crossed the first of several critical Earth system tipping points. Without immediate global action, these shifts could cause widespread and lasting damage, according to a major report released today (Oct 13) by the University of Exeter and international collaborators. As ministers […]
Europe is being forced to foot an ever-growing bill as damage from weather and climate-related extremes exceeded €44.5 billion in recent years. The EU has warned it “cannot afford to lower” its climate and sustainability ambitions after revealing the true cost of extreme weather damage.
