Despite record investments in green energy, emissions and resource extraction continue to rise, highlighting that the real challenge is not just decarbonisation, but rethinking development itself

The death toll from Spain's Almeria wildfire has risen to 13, with 10 people still missing and seven hospitalised. Authorities have stabilised the blaze, allowed evacuees to return, and are investigating whether faulty electrical infrastructure triggered the devastating fire

The real question is not whether AI can think like humans, but whether it can help us make wiser choices about the land, water, and ecosystems

The World Meteorological Organization warns that rapidly strengthening El Nino conditions will intensify global heatwaves, droughts, and extreme weather. In India, the climate phenomenon has already triggered a severe June rainfall deficit, with below-normal monsoon rains expected through July

Scorching heat across Europe is a stark reminder of the accelerating climate crisis and the repeated failure of nations to honour their commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions

A heatwave occurs when the average temperature is unusually hot for three or more days in a row. That's compared to past weather data taken from the same location

Heatwaves become disasters not because of temperature alone, but due to social vulnerability, inequity, and inadequate preparedness

Plastic pollution, overfishing, industrial waste, climate change, and shipping activity are weakening marine systems. And what happens in oceans does not remain there. It returns to human systems through food, climate, and economy

A truly sustainable society is possible only when environmental protection, climate resilience and social justice advance together

A World Meteorological Organisation report forecasts that global temperatures will remain near record highs between 2026 and 2030, with a high chance of temporarily exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It warns of increasing risks from climate change and stronger El Niño effects
