L’objectif de la COP29 est d’inscrire dans le marbre le financement de 1 000 milliards de dollars par an d’aide climatique à destination des pays en développement. De l’avis général, le résultat de la première semaine de négociations a été quasi nul.

De theatervoorstelling For Rosa vertelt het waargebeurd verhaal van Benjamin Van Bunderen Robberechts. Drie jaar geleden verloor hij zijn vriendin Rosa in de aan klimaatverandering gerelateerde grote waterramp in Wallonië. Wij spraken met Benjamin en Nic Balthazar, regisseur van de voorstelling.

Extreme heat affecting nearly 23m people across US south-west and pushing Texas’s electrical grid to the limit.

Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco experienced extreme heat in July 2024, causing at least 23 fatalities, widespread wildfires and bringing public life to a hold.

Temperatures reach 45C in parts of the country and 225 people seek treatment for heatstroke

Months of scorching temperatures sometimes over 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in parts of India this year left hundreds dead or ill. Official government records put the number of heat-related deaths this year as 110, but public health experts say that number is more likely in the thousands. Poor data collection methods and reporting are stopping the country from getting a more accurate picture of how deadly the heat is. Experts are concerned that it's hindering efforts to better prepare for future heat waves.

Research shows climate change carries greater risks for unborn babies than previously thought. Some of the alarming effects of global warming may include worsening health and wellbeing in later life.

In Virginia, a small conservation group is leading the fight against the powerful and secretive data center industry.

Carbon Brief provides an updated analysis of when the world will likely exceed the Paris 1.5C limit

Sudden cut in pollution in 2020 meant less shade from sun and was ‘substantial’ factor in record surface temperatures in 2023, study finds

An intense heat wave gripping South and South-East Asia since late March comes as no surprise to leading meteorologists who have been warning of steadily rising temperatures in the Indian Ocean.

Human-caused climate crisis brought soaring temperatures across Asia, from Gaza to Delhi to Manila

Climate scientists have told the Guardian they expect catastrophic levels of global heating. Here’s what that would mean for the planet

Exclusive: Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for humanity, poll of hundreds of scientists finds

Europe is no exception when it comes to the consequences of climate change. It is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate.

If the anomaly does not stabilise by August, ‘the world will be in uncharted territory’, says climate expert

The big question: Would climate engineering like sending reflective particles into the stratosphere or brightening clouds help reduce the national security risks of climate change or make them worse?

Texans have long endured scorching summer temperatures, so a global warming increase of about 3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 Celsius) might not sound like much to worry about. But a new study concludes that the heat index — essentially how hot it really feels — has increased much faster in Texas than has the measured temperature: about three times faster.

Rapid ocean warming and unusually hot winter days recorded as human-made global heating combines with El Niño

Marine heat waves will become a regular occurrence in the Arctic in the near future and are a product of higher anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions, according to a study just released by Dr. Armineh Barkhordarian from Universität Hamburg's Cluster of Excellence for climate research CLICCS. Since 2007, conditions in the Arctic have shifted, as confirmed by data recently published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment. Between 2007 and 2021, the marginal zones of the Arctic Ocean experienced 11 marine heat waves, producing an average temperature rise of 2.2 degrees Celsius above seasonal norm and lasting an average of 37 days. Since 2015, there have been Arctic marine heat waves every year.
