Er is dringend behoefte aan betere samenwerking om de gevolgen van de klimaatcrisis op drie belangrijke rivieren in Zuid-Azië te temperen, zeggen experts. De Brahmaputra, de Indus en de Ganges bieden voedsel en water aan bijna een miljard mensen.

Dans une prison du sud du Chili, 4 militants politiques mapuches en lutte contre l’industrie forestière mènent depuis 3 mois une grève de la faim. Voilà longtemps que l’État criminalise les revendications de ce peuple indigène.

For the first time, an international team of scientists is able to provide a detailed outline of planetary resilience by mapping out all nine boundary processes that define a safe operating space for humanity.

L’activiste, féministe et «guerrière» mapuche est venue à Arles pour dénoncer les répressions qui s’abattent sur les militantes de peuples autochtones en Argentine, ainsi que les «terricides» opérés en Patagonie.

BP, Shell, and TotalEnergies found to be leading a multi-pronged influencing campaign that could lock in fossil gas across both continents, with push back coming from more renewables-focused European energy players.

WMO's annual State of the Climate in Europe report explores changes in climate indicators, extreme events and climate policy.

The problem with American electric vehicles is the same problem as with our gas-powered models: They’re too dang big. The Ford F-150 has been the top-selling automobile in the country for many years, and the electric version — while admittedly quite nifty — weighs 3.25 tons. The new electric Hummer is even more ridiculous, coming in at 9,000 pounds, with a 212-kilowatt-hour battery that weighs more than a Mazda Miata.

Mapped: Carbon Dioxide Emissions Around the World According to Our World in Data, the global population emits about 34 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) each year. Where does all this CO₂ come from? This graphic by Adam Symington maps out carbon emissions around the world, using 2018 data from the European Commission that tracks tonnes of CO₂ per 0.1 degree grid (roughly 11 square kilometers). This type of visualization allows us to clearly see not just population centers, but flight paths, shipping lanes, and high production areas. Let’s take a closer look at some of these concentrated (and brightly lit) regions on the map.

The map shows the Climate Shift Index (CSI) for the daily average temperature. High CSI values mean climate change made the temperatures more likely.

Le président sud-africain Cyril Ramaphosa, qui a écourté des visites à l'étranger en raison d'une nouvelle aggravation de la crise de l'électricité dans le pays, a averti lundi qu'il ne fallait pas compter sur une amélioration "à court terme".

C'est la triste réalité d'une situation qui dure depuis longtemps", écrit-il dans sa lettre hebdomadaire à la nation.

Civil unrest, political instability, food insecurity, mass migration and worsening human rights are the baked-in secondary impacts of climate change, but you wouldn’t know that from the undercooked approach of governments and business. As the extreme weather events the world is already experiencing become more frequent, they will trigger a cascade of these second-order climate risks across a huge swathe of countries.

Des inondations meurtrières ont jeté des centaines de milliers d’habitants sur les routes dans l’Assam, État du nord-est de l’Inde. La vallée du Brahmapoutre semble de plus en plus inhabitable.
