It’s not easy to tell when a dynamic system, filled with life, might reach a point of no return.
The evidence is clear – without a concerted effort to mitigate climate change, the world will continue to face catastrophic weather events that threaten both lives and ecosystems.
We all need to take steps to stop the alarming rates of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.
Three consecutive extremely low sea ice summers strengthens the case for a new regime in Antarctic sea ice.
A suite of tools is helping scientists “taste” the properties of Antarctica’s Southern Ocean to better-understand why more heat is seeping towards the icy continent.
From natural seawalls to mangroves, countries are starting to combat climate change with nature-based solutions. COP28 might drive more of these efforts.
July was the hottest month on record – and took us past 1.5℃. But one month isn’t the same as failing to meet our Paris Agreement goals.
Sea ice around Antarctica has always followed a predictable seasonal cycle. Now, we’ve experienced a sudden dramatic loss, and the changes are here to stay.
Deep-sea mining technology is a new field, and researchers want more data on its impacts.
From the hottest global average day, to the highest average sea surface temperature and the lowest Antarctic sea ice extent – here’s why so many climate records are breaking, all at once.
Our ability to adapt our way out of the climate crisis will soon be beyond us unless we rapidly decarbonise to limit global warming.
They cover more than 70% of our planet, so why aren’t oceans more central to climate talks?

Baleen whales were sharp-toothed and ferocious feeders, but have evolved to become gentle filter-feeding giants of the ocean.
ClimateWorks Australia has developed a tool to help Pacific Island countries design pathways for the future through sustainable, climate-resilient, net-zero-emissions development.
Will the icy wilderness we know today survive, or will it succumb to climate change and human pressure? Our choices over the coming decade will seal its fate.
Never heard of bacteriophages? They're the most abundant biological entity on the planet, and play a vital role in keeping us alive.
Think you're tough? In the survival stakes, we humans have nothing over our bacterial companions.
