Climate Crisis

Pollution, habitat degradation, climate change and over-use of freshwater resources are putting a strain on Europe, the European Environment Agency warned.

A 2023 report assessed 35 key indicators, with 25 showing worsening trends, including carbon dioxide levels and population growth.

Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Wednesday that renewable energy is no longer optional but a compulsion, calling for efforts to make the planet habitable by tackling climate change.

If you care about the environment, think twice about using AI.

As weather patterns grow more unpredictable due to climate crisis, India is taking a giant leap with "Mission Mausam" to improve weather understanding and forecasting through expanded observation networks.

South Korea's Constitutional Court ruled Thursday that much of the country's climate goals were unconstitutional, handing a landmark victory to young environmental activists, who wept for joy on the court steps.

Last month was the hottest July on record, making it the fourteenth straight record-breaking month, a US environmental agency reported Monday.

Six people were killed and 10 were injured when a lightning strike caused a park pavilion to collapse in eastern China, state media said Monday.

Climate activists on Tuesday spray-painted a mansion on the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza belonging to Argentina football star Lionel Messi to highlight the "responsibility of the rich for the climate crisis".

India is not historically responsible for the climate crisis but it should not emulate polluting practices of the West from the 19th century during its development, Commonwealth Secretary General Patricia Scotland has said.

It's well known that as far as the climate crisis goes, time is of the essence. Now a study out Monday shows that the melting of the polar ice caps is causing our planet to spin more slowly, increasing the length of days at an "unprecedented" rate.

The world is way off track on most of the sustainable development targets agreed in 2015, such as tackling poverty and hunger, says a United Nations report which cites funding shortfalls, geopolitical tensions and the COVID-19 pandemic.

AI which includes large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT, and social media can undermine efforts to address climate change, said researchers in a new forum article published in the journal Global Environmental Politics, on Friday.

Scientists in South Korea have developed a new type of sustainable hybrid food -- a "meaty" rice that they say could help solve food crises and climate change.
