Climate change is causing measurable harm globally1,2. Political and legal efforts seek to link these damages with specific emissions, including in discussions of loss and damage (L&D)3,4; however, no quantitative definition of L&D exists5,6, nor is there a framework to link past and future emissions from specific sources to monetized, location-specific damages. Here we develop such a framework, which is integrated with recent efforts to estimate the social cost of carbon7. Using empirical estimates of the non-linear relationship between temperature and aggregate economic output, we show that future damages from past emissions—one component of L&D—are at least an order of magnitude larger than historical damages from the same emissions. For instance, one tonne of CO2 emitted in 1990 caused US$180 in discounted global damages by 2020 ($40–530) and will cause an additional $1,840 through 2100 ($500–5,700). Thus, settling debts for past damages will not settle debts for past emissions. In other illustrative esti
Elk jaar belandt bijna 7 miljoen ton textiel op de Europese vuilnisbelt. Terwijl de modesector zich voorbereidt op een circulaire toekomst remt Europa juist af: regelgeving rond circulariteit en transparantie die begin 2026 zou ingaan, wordt nu uitgesteld. Intussen blijven fast fashion-bedrijven de markt overspoelen met wegwerpkledij en voor oneerlijke concurrentie zorgen. Ysabel Nauwelaerts (KU Leuven) en Ben Hagenaars (LUCA School of Arts) zien een enorm potentieel bij de overheidsaanbestedingen.
De meeste populaire chatbots helpen zonder problemen bij het plannen van gewelddadige aanvallen – van een schoolshooting tot een antisemitische bomaanslag of politieke moord. Dat blijkt uit een uitgebreid onderzoeksrapport van CCDH en CNN.
Er is veel ‘kritiek’ in de Westerse media op de opportuniteit van de aanval die de VS en Israël hebben ingezet tegen Iran op 28 februari 2025. Wat er niet staat zegt echter zoveel meer. Zo is het voornaamste feit tijdens die aanvallen nergens een hoofdartikel waard: bij een bombardement op een school in de stad Minab werden minstens 165 leerlingen vermoord.

Des chercheurs de l'Imperial College London et de la London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine publient mercredi une étude préalable dans laquelle ils avancent que plus de 15 000 morts en Europe durant l'été seraient dues au réchauffement climatique.
On 21 April 2019, I was on Waterloo Bridge in London with my younger siblings. Around us were planters full of flowers where there were once cars, and people singing. This was the spring iteration of Extinction Rebellion, when four bridges in London were held by protesters. My siblings, then 14, had been going out on school strike inspired by Greta Thunberg, and wanted to see her speak.
Meisjes en jonge vrouwen hebben het meest te lijden onder de klimaatcrisis die de Sahel momenteel treft, toont onderzoek door de ngo Plan International. De voedselonzekerheid neemt er toe, net als de schooluitval, en tienermeisjes zijn vaker slachtoffer van seksueel geweld.
Extreem weer heeft in 2024 meer dan 240 miljoen leerlingen en studenten minstens tijdelijk zonder onderwijs gezet. Hittegolven, cyclonen en overstromingen troffen kinderen op alle continenten.
Previous health impact assessments of temperature-related mortality in Europe indicated that the mortality burden attributable to cold is much larger than for heat. Questions remain as to whether climate change can result in a net decrease in temperature-related mortality. In this study, we estimated how climate change could affect future heat-related and cold-related mortality in 854 European urban areas, under several climate, demographic and adaptation scenarios. We showed that, with no adaptation to heat, the increase in heat-related deaths consistently exceeds any decrease in cold-related deaths across all considered scenarios in Europe. Under the lowest mitigation and adaptation scenario (SSP3-7.0), we estimate a net death burden due to climate change increasing by 49.9% and cumulating 2,345,410 (95% confidence interval = 327,603 to 4,775,853) climate change-related deaths between 2015 and 2099. This net effect would remain positive even under high adaptation scenarios, whereby a risk attenuation of 50%
Emerging infectious diseases, biodiversity loss, and anthropogenic environmental change are interconnected crises with massive social and ecological costs. In this Review, we discuss how pathogens and parasites are responding to global change, and the implications for pandemic prevention and biodiversity conservation. Ecological and evolutionary principles help to explain why both pandemics and wildlife die-offs are becoming more common; why land-use change and biodiversity loss are often followed by an increase in zoonotic and vector-borne diseases; and why some species, such as bats, host so many emerging pathogens. To prevent the next pandemic, scientists should focus on monitoring and limiting the spread of a handful of high-risk viruses, especially at key interfaces such as farms and live-animal markets. But to address the much broader set of infectious disease risks associated with the Anthropocene, decision-makers will need to develop comprehensive strategies that include pathogen surveillance across s
