La pollution est la destruction ou dégradation d’un écosystème ou de la biosphère par l’introduction, généralement humaine, d’entités (physiques, chimiques ou biologiques), ou de radiations altérant le fonctionnement de cet écosystème1. La pollution a des effets importants sur la santé et la biosphère, comme en témoigne l’exposition aux polluants et le réchauffement climatique qui transforme le climat de la Terre et son écosystème, en entraînant l’apparition de maladies inconnues jusqu’alors dans certaines zones géographiques, des migrations de certaines espèces, voire leur extinction si elles ne peuvent s’adapter à leur nouvel environnement biophysique.

Decision by international court of justice hailed as a gamechanger for climate justice and accountability
Rapporteur calls for defossilization of economies and urgent reparations to avert ‘catastrophic’ rights and climate harms
In this week’s Down To Earth newsletter: The global crackdown against climate activists and groups is clearly part of the fossil fuel industry’s strategy to crush dissent and keep burning the planet
Climate activists opposed to the Mountain Valley pipeline were accused of breaking West Virginia’s new critical infrastructure law
Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’
Exclusive: First months of conflict produced more planet-warming gases than 20 climate-vulnerable nations do in a year, study shows
Extreme weather is ‘smacking us in the face’ with worse to come, but a ‘tiny window’ of hope remains, say leading climate scientists
In March, the north and south poles had record temperatures. In May in Delhi, it hit 49C. Last week in Madrid, 40C. Experts say the worst effects of the climate emergency cannot be avoided if emissions continue to rise
Planned drilling projects across US land and waters will release 140bn metric tons of planet-heating gases if fully realised, an analysis shared with the Guardian has found. The study, to be published in the Energy Policy journal this month, found emissions from these oil and gas “carbon bomb” projects were four times larger than all of the planet-heating gases expelled globally each year, placing the world on track for disastrous climate change.
New data suggests forests help keep the Earth at least half of a degree cooler, protecting us from the effects of climate crisis
