Wildfire risk is no longer confined to the places people expect. 

Just like on land, the ocean environment can experience heatwaves. 

As of June 2026, El Niño has officially arrived.

A study led by Newcastle University involving the community in Lunana, Bhutan, found that while there was a high awareness of the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) among people in Lunana - much of it as a result of ongoing government communications and outreach work - many residents were not sufficiently prepared to respond quickly and safely when warnings occurred.

A new study published in Nature Climate Change reveals a more complex reality: some tree species are moving uphill, while others are shifting downhill, and the key to understanding these contrasting responses lies in how trees manage water.

Collecting rainwater from rooftops and using it to spray buildings during hot weather could help cities cut air conditioning use, lower urban temperatures and lessen the impact of heatwaves, according to new research from The University of Manchester.

Being inside with the windows closed does not completely protect you from the smoke caused by wildfires, early findings by University of Manchester researchers suggest.

Forest trees growing in air containing higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) radically change the way they ‘cycle’ nitrogen, a key plant nutrient, with implications for forests as a nature-based climate solution.

Landslides cause an estimated $3-6 billion in damage and multiple fatalities annually in the United States.

In Greenland, where the island’s ice sheet is melting around six times faster than it was in the 1990s, billions of tons of ice are already disappearing each year.
