climate change

Global action to combat climate change has sparked a flurry of national commitments to reach net zero emissions: the United States and many other countries are aiming for 2050

Dolphins, porpoises and whales are regularly stranded on shorelines around the world. The underlying causes of these episodes are not always clear. Sometimes they respond to the disorientation of the animals

A recent study estimated that 80% of the colonies of these birds in Antarctica could experience declines in their populations of up to 90% by 2100.

Armed conflicts, climate change and economic difficulties will accelerate humanitarian crises around the world in 2023, according to a study by the NGO International Rescue Committee (IRC).

Natural Disasters Young people; Seven times as many heat waves, three times as many droughts and river floods, and twice as many forest fires

Dozens of streams and bodies of water, once crystal clear, are changing colour and have become cloudy and, in some cases, may become more acidic.

A team of researchers measuring carbon emissions found that carbon emissions have increased over a decade. However, they also found that carbon emissions from gas and electricity have decreased

We are going through a double climate crisis and biodiversity loss that threatens the well-being of all living beings. More than a tenth of Earth's plant and animal species could become extinct

Most natural solutions against climate change are based on preserving ecosystems and biodiversity (such as restoring forests or wetlands) but, according to a study, whales could play an important role in global warming.

Countries are so behind in reducing their fossil fuel emissions that they can no longer prevent global warming from intensifying in the next 30 years, though there is still a short window to avoid a more harrowing future
