Exclusive: Global investigation reveals 235 lawsuits have been brought against governments in five countries since 2010

Farmers warn food shortages are just 10 days away – the signs suggest they’ve already arrived As farmers sound the alarm about a growing food crisis, experts say that Britain's food insecurity needs to be treated as a growing national security risk. As climate change and conflict affect fragile supply chains, the warnings are becoming impossible to ignore, writes disaster planner Lucy Easthope

Depuis environ deux mois, les Etats-Unis traversent l’épidémie de cyclosporose la plus grave de leur histoire. En effet, des milliers de cas d’infection intestinale parasitaire ont été recensés. Une enquête toujours en cours a déterminé la cause de la contamination : une simple laitue commercialisée dans une chaine de fast food.

Members of parliament have demanded full publication of an explosive report by the UK’s spy leaders that found the collapse of ecosystems overseas would have catastrophic consequences for the UK’s national security, warning that the UK has “no future” if the findings are not urgently acted on.

Weather cycle threatens harvests worldwide, adding to inflation already fuelled by the Iran war

The climate and nature crisis threatens all aspects of British life, from national security to the food supply. Despite the scale of the risks now facing the UK, there has been no comprehensive national emergency briefing delivered to the public by the Government.

L’association de défense des consommateurs Foodwatch a appelé l’Union européenne à revoir son projet sur la sécurité alimentaire et les contrôles de pesticides, après avoir décelé des substances interdites dans des aliments importés de pays tiers, au-delà des limites tolérées.

L’association Foodwatch a mené une enquête sur 64 produits importés en France, en Allemagne, en Autriche et aux Pays-Bas. Sur 15 produits testés en France, 12 présentent des résidus de pesticides dont l’utilisation est interdite en Europe.

Ce mardi, l’association Foodwatch dévoile que 80% des produits qu’elle a testés contiennent des pesticides interdits dans l'UE. Des épices Ducros aux thés Lipton, elle exige le rappel immédiat de ces aliments et une meilleure régulation.

Beneath the surface of the Pacific, a massive pool of heat is preparing to reshape global weather patterns. Time is running out to prepare for a climate shock of unprecedented scale. As 2026 unfolds, the Pacific Ocean is priming a catastrophic El Niño that threatens to cripple global food systems, trigger widespread economic instability, and shatter planetary temperature records.

Fytoplankton, de basis van zowat alle leven in de oceaan, bevat steeds minder eiwit en meer vetten en koolhydraten. Dat komt door de opwarming van het zeewater.

The world has become well versed in the importance of the strait of Hormuz to the world’s energy flows, but attention is increasingly turning to its vital role in another market – the fertiliser on which harvests depend. A third of the global trade in raw materials for fertiliser passes through the maritime choke point, which is also the route for 20% of shipments of natural gas, which is required to make it.

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

The fragility of the global food system fills me with dread – and the war with Iran has exposed just how close to collapse it is

Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

Three major Defence Agencies are quietly admitting what most still refuse to face: climate breakdown is coming for our food, and the cracks are already spreading. While the wealthy cling to logistics and illusion, the real defence strategy is soil and local growers who refuse to let their communities starve.

Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt

As climate and geopolitics shocks bite, countries are rebuilding food buffers. The UK clings to neoliberal ideas while households pay the price

From floods to droughts, erratic weather patterns are affecting food security, with crop yields projected to fall if changes are not made
