Insurers are taking on more risk than they should. If – or when – a major disaster hits, the catastrophe will have far-reaching consequences

Let’s be clear: the risk to humanity is unprecedented. Without an urgent public debate and robust use of international law, we will lose control of the future

Timely and accurate projections of when global warming will exceed the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C threshold are essential for effective climate policy. Existing estimates place this exceedance in the early 2030 s but carry substantial uncertainty. Here we analyze the latest observational temperature records through 2025 and identify a statistically significant doubling of the global warming rate during 2011–2025 (0.40 °C per decade) compared to 1971–2025 (0.20 °C per decade). Extrapolating this accelerated rate projects a crossing of the 1.5 °C threshold by 2028, nearly a decade earlier than previous estimates. Regional analyses attribute this acceleration primarily to intensified warming over East Asia–the North Pacific, mid-latitude Eurasia, and the South Atlantic–Antarctic regions. The ensemble mean of 26 climate models fails to capture the observed doubling of the warming rate, simulating a rate of only 0.29 °C per decade. These findings suggest a narrower window remains to limit warming to 1.5 °C, undersco

A la hausse constante des prix alimentaires s'ajoutent les effets de plus en plus dramatiques du changement climatique et un monde de plus en plus instable. Serons-nous réellement capables de nourrir une population qui devrait bientôt atteindre 10 milliards. Le professeur Tim Benton, l’un des plus grands experts mondiaux des systèmes alimentaires, estime que notre modèle économique de croissance infinie sur une planète aux ressources finies est voué à s’effondrer. Mais quand cela se produira-t-il ? Qu’est-ce que cela signifie concrètement ? Et enfin, entrons-nous réellement dans une ère de famine ?

Tim Benton, expert reconnu en sécurité alimentaire mondiale, afin de comprendre les causes de l'effondrement de nos systèmes alimentaires et les conditions nécessaires à la construction d'un système véritablement régénérateur. – Pourquoi le système alimentaire actuel est fondamentalement insoutenable – Que signifie concrètement le concept de « limites planétaires » – Le mythe de la croissance verte – Comment nos régimes alimentaires et nos systèmes agricoles doivent évoluer – Les 3 mécanismes qui nous empêchent d'avancer
