A Climate Rights International report exposes the increasingly heavy-handed treatment of climate activists in Australia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and the US. It found the crackdown in these countries – including lengthy prison sentences, preventive detention and harassment – was a violation of governments’ legal responsibility to protect basic rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association. It also highlights how these same governments frequently criticise regimes in developing countries for not respecting the right to protest peacefully.

Analysis of six extreme heatwaves found when temperature and humidity were accounted for, all were potentially deadly for older people

La réforme du règlement européen sur la sécurité des produits chimiques (REACH) figure à l'agenda de la Commission européenne depuis 2020. Cependant, une forte opposition de l'industrie, y compris tout au long de l'année 2025 comme le révèle ce rapport, a occulté l'urgence sanitaire et environnementale de lutter contre les substances chimiques nocives. La manipulation de l'industrie et son accès privilégié aux plus hautes instances de la Commission, conjugués à l'hostilité actuelle de l'UE envers les nouvelles réglementations environnementales et à sa frénésie de déréglementation, semblent avoir irrémédiablement compromis un objectif clé du Pacte vert pour l'Europe.

Industry’s spin and privileged access to the highest levels of the Commission, alongside the current EU hostility to new green rules and mania for deregulation, appear to have fatally undermined a key European Green Deal ambition.

Les assauts de lobbying de l’industrie mettent en péril la révision du règlement européen sur les produits chimiques et l’objectif de juguler la pollution, selon un rapport de l’organisation Corporate Europe Observatory.

A new international analysis published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences on 9 January finds that the Earth's ocean stored more heat in 2025 than in any year since modern measurements began. The finding is the result of a major international collaboration led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, involving more than 50 scientists from 31 research institutions worldwide. The 2025 heat increase was 23 Zetta Joules (23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules of energy), which is equivalent to ~37 years of global primary energy consumption at the 2023 level (~620 Exa Joules per year). The assessment combines data from major international data centers and independent research groups, including three observational products (Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Copernicus Marine; and NOAA/NCEI) and an ocean reanalysis (CIGAR-RT) from three continents: Asia, Europe, and America. These groups confirm that the 2025 ocean heat content (OHC) reached the h

Les êtres humains et les écosystèmes sont exposés chaque jour à de nombreuses substances chimiques, dont les effets peuvent se combiner pour produire ce que l’on appelle un effet cocktail. Pourtant, la réglementation européenne continue d’évaluer ces substances individuellement, sans prendre en compte leurs effets combinés. Pour combler cette lacune, un facteur d’évaluation des mélanges appelé Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) pourrait être introduit dans le règlement européen REACH (qui vise l’Enregistrement, Évaluation, Autorisation et la Restriction des substances Chimiques). Ce nouvel outil permettrait de mieux tenir compte de l’exposition simultanée à plusieurs substances.
