The Climate Lab, an initiative funded by The Bullitt Foundation, the University of Washington, and other contributors, is a Seattle Times project dedicated to researching the effects of climate change in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. A significant part of this venture is the allocation of more than $50 million in revenue from Washington state’s […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Blue Carbon, refers to the carbon captured and stored by the world’s oceanic and coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. These ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by acting as significant carbon sinks. Unlike terrestrial forests, which store carbon in biomass and soil, blue […]

Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) has set its sights on the development of Australia’s largest green hydrogen projects in South Australia and Northern Territory, each boasting a significant 10GW capacity. These ambitious projects will place Australia at the forefront of clean energy innovation and production. One of the key elements in these projects is the renewable […]

In light of escalating global environmental issues, a new report by NATO has highlighted the mounting security risks associated with climate change. This includes the melting of sea ice and Russia’s military expansion in the Arctic region. The report underscores the distinctly different strategies adopted by NATO’s adversaries in the face of climate change, with […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Thermokarst lakes. A striking and increasingly significant feature in the Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes, formed by the thawing of permafrost—ground that has remained frozen for at least two consecutive years. These lakes emerge when the ice-rich permafrost melts, causing the ground to subside and create depressions that subsequently fill […]

Recent research has brought to light a startling revelation: global warming is causing the days to lengthen. This surprising effect is due to the melting of polar ice sheets and the resulting redistribution of mass on Earth’s surface. It is a clear indication of the planetary-scale impact of human-induced climate change. The Earth’s day length […]

Climate change projections for small island states are currently limited due to the lack of fine-resolution models. This insufficiency in data and projections presents a pressing concern for these vulnerable regions. As such, there is an urgent call for global and regional collaboration to develop climate projections that are compatible with the scales of these […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Fisheries and aquaculture, essential components of global food systems and economies. Fisheries refer to the harvesting of fish and other aquatic organisms from natural habitats such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, while aquaculture, also known as fish farming, involves the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants […]

The exposure of French prison inmates to climate change and other environmental threats is alarmingly high, as per a report by Notre Affaire à Tous, an environmental NGO. The report, which scrutinized nearly 200 penal institutions across France, unveiled that every single one is susceptible to extreme weather conditions. These harsh conditions, including but not […]

In an effort to make communities more resilient in the face of post-disaster scenarios, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is taking proactive measures. These include raising buildings above floodplains to lessen the risk and impact of potential floods. This initiative comes in the wake of an executive order by President Joe Biden that broadened […]
