At long last, Australia has a national climate adaptation plan to guide public and private responses to intensifying threats.

Em breve, poderá ser possível reduzir a formação e a intensidade de ciclones pulverizando partículas na atmosfera acima de uma tempestade em formação. Mas a tecnologia abre uma caixa de pandora
We’ve wasted a lot of time delaying climate action. As the damage becomes ever clearer, it’s time to accelerate the transition.
We can construct buildings that reduce atmospheric CO₂ by more than their lifetime emissions. They now don’t cost much more – and a project involving 1.2 million homes would drive costs down further.
It may soon be possible to reduce cyclone formation and intensity by spraying particles into the atmosphere above a forming storm. But the technology opens up a can of worms
Fear and Wonder is a new climate podcast, brought to you by The Conversation, and sponsored by the Climate Council. In this live bonus episode, we discuss where to next on climate change.
Anak-anak yang lahir sekarang berisiko menderita tiga hingga empat kali lebih banyak karena peristiwa iklim ekstrem dalam hidup mereka daripada kakek-nenek mereka.
Es probable que un niño nacido ahora sufra, de media, entre tres y cuatro veces más fenómenos climáticos extremos a lo largo de su vida que sus abuelos.
A child born now is likely to suffer, on average, three to four times as many climate extreme events in their lifetime as their grandparents did.
Australia must recognise the complex risks associated with cascading natural disasters, and draw on the knowledge and experience of all citizens.
The agriculture and fossil fuel industries are the biggest sources of methane emissions in Australia. Here’s how signing the pledge may affect them.
We can no longer pretend we’re separate to nature. If ecosystems collapse, our society will be threatened too.
We can’t let communities face climate change alone. We must get better at adapting to the new climate, and do it before disasters not during.
Plus, a section of a rocket is about to crash on the Moon. What scientists hope to learn from it. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
We are no longer in typical conditions. Climate change is already damaging human and natural systems we hold dear in Australia.
The IPCC is the global authority on climate change. Their new report paints a worrying picture of climate impacts already affecting billions of people, economies and the environment.
Targets for reductions in methane and other greenhouse gases should be guided by science, and set in line with the Paris deal.
The world is moving away fossil fuels, and there’s nothing Australia can do about it. Racing to dig up and sell whatever fossil fuels we can before the timer stops is not a future-proof strategy.
The world has no hope of reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement without seriously reducing emissions from agriculture, forestry and land clearing.
Limitar el calentamiento global a 1,5 grados centígrados es un reto difícil, pero aún está a nuestro alcance, según un informe histórico del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático encargado después de la cumbre de París de 2015.
Limiting global warming to 1.5C is a tough challenge but still within reach, according to a landmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change commissioned after the 2015 Paris summit.
Here are the essential facts from the UN’s special report on climate change.
Politicians are always being told to trust what climate scientists are telling them. But can you have too much of a good thing? What happens when the exchange of ideas becomes too cosy?
2016 is the third consecutive hottest year on record. How can we adapt?
2015 was the world’s hottest year ever by a long shot. But what drove the record temperatures, and what role did climate change play?
