Mobility data from 1.1 billion devices across 366 Chinese cities shows that intercity connectivity — not just local infrastructure — drives urban resilience to extreme rainfall.

A new analysis shows how the Paris Agreement’s “well below 2°C” target can drift toward 2°C as climate uncertainty shrinks — and how to fix it.

Since the 1970s, heat stress has intensified across every dimension — hotter nights, longer seasons, and compound events now expose 1 billion more people to extreme heat.

Global warming shifts hail hazard poleward, raising risk for winter crops like wheat while reducing it for summer crops — with major implications for food security.

Climate history of 120 seabird species shows warming pace — not magnitude — drives range loss and dispersal, with 4 species facing extinction by 2100.

The 2026 Planetary Health Check: 7 of 9 boundaries transgressed, the land carbon sink weakening, the seafloor under assault — and a narrowing window to act.

New multi-model analysis shows net-zero pledges narrow warming to 1.8–2.1°C — but only full global coverage and faster action closes the Paris gap.

EU food policy addresses climate risk in fragments — a new review maps every link in the chain and finds the gaps are biggest mid-chain.

Rising ocean temperatures are quietly weakening the sea breeze that cools coastal megacities — with a small further SST rise causing 4.5x more decline.

Climate-driven wildfire exposure will hit 84% of fire-threatened species by 2100 — hardest in South America, lightest in Africa — new global model shows.

Warming reshapes what phytoplankton are made of — less protein at the poles, more in the subtropics — with real-world data already confirming the shift.

RTS recovery varies from a decade in low-Arctic tundra to over a century on the Tibetan Plateau — and regional GPP predicts the difference.

Antarctic sea ice didn't collapse suddenly in 2015 — a decade of hidden ocean preconditioning set the trap before the winds pulled the trigger.

New EV batteries are now resilient enough to offset climate-driven lifetime losses — and shrink the gap between rich and poor regions.

A new study finds television still shapes climate awareness—but mostly among engaged viewers, missing audiences least concerned about climate change.

IPCC scenario databases are dominated by a handful of models. A new weighting framework corrects the bias — and shifts net-zero timelines by a decade.

A 2026 study maps tipping thresholds for all 18 Antarctic drainage basins, finding West Antarctic collapse may be triggered at 1–2°C and East Antarctic basins at risk from 2–5°C.

A 2026 Earth Commission commentary outlines a science-based framework integrating planetary boundaries with justice to guide systemic transformation toward a safe and just future.

A 2026 commentary by Hansen et al. argues accelerating ocean warming, not El Niño strength, is the key story — driven by high climate sensitivity of 4–5°C and declining aerosol cooling.

A 2026 multimodel study finds 1.5°C-consistent climate pathways allocate up to 13% of global biodiversity refugia to land-intensive carbon removal, with disproportionate impacts on low-income countries.
