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.

All local communities affected by mining projects should have the right to have a say on whether mining activities will start or continue in their backyard. This belief in community involvement in political, economic, and environmental decision-making is epitomised in a Right to Say No (RTSN), which is the inalienable and collective right of a community to say no (or yes) to extractive projects on the territories/lands they are living within. Currently, there is no real ‘Right’ to Say No outside of iterations of the indigenous right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) — it is a right we are asserting, not something we can yet claim. This toolbox will elaborate on the rights local communities already have and those rights that still need to be recognised and enforced, to establish a Right to Say No.

Les fourneaux du monde brûlent maintenant environ 2 millions de tonnes de charbon par an. Lorsque le charbon est brûlé, qu’il est assemblé à l’oxygène, cela ajoute environ 7 millions de tonnes de dioxyde de carbone dans l’atmosphère chaque année. (…) Ceci tend à faire de l’atmosphère une véritable couverture plus ‘efficace’ pour la planète, ce qui a pour effet d’augmenter sa température. L’effet sera probablement considérable dans quelques siècles.

The National Drought Group of the UK predicts that yields of some vegetable crops—carrots, onion, and potatoes—could be cut in half. The European Drought Observatory says that almost half of the bloc is drier than it has been since the Renaissance. China’s agricultural ministry has urged farmers to undertake emergency switches to different crops following a historic heatwave.

Il est de plus en plus évident que le changement climatique modifie nos vies. Mais aujourd'hui, une équipe de l'université d'Hawaï (États-Unis) a publié une étude affirmant que le changement climatique a influencé plus de 200 maladies. L'étude, publiée en août dernier dans la revue scientifique Nature, visait initialement à déterminer si le changement climatique avait influencé l'émergence et la propagation du covid-19, mais elle a été élargie et recoupée avec les données de plus de 70 000 articles scientifiques et son incidence dans plus de 200 maladies.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has declared a La Niña weather event is under way, with modelling predicting it “will persist until the late southern hemisphere summer or early autumn 2022”.

Water shortages are now affecting more than 3 billion people around the world, as the amount of fresh water available for each person has plunged by a fifth over two decades, data has shown. About 1.5 billion people are suffering severe water scarcity or even drought, as a combination of climate breakdown, rising demand and poor management has made agriculture increasingly difficult across swathes of the globe.
