From the food we buy to the routes we drive, routine decisions add up. New data show household habits shape a large share of emissions, spotlighting practical steps residents and cities can take daily.

Wetlands, long overlooked, are emerging as frontline climate assets. Scientists say they store vast carbon, blunt floods, and protect coasts-making conservation a low-cost tool in national climate plans.

As rising seas, droughts, and extreme heat upend livelihoods, climate-driven migration is accelerating, reshaping populations and pressuring borders, services, and economies, officials and aid groups warn.

Experts say sustainable forest management is critical to meeting climate targets, curbing emissions, and protecting biodiversity, as governments weigh policy tools and funding to scale restoration and prevent deforestation.

From flooded deltas to drought-stricken farmlands, climate shocks are pushing millions to move. Authorities face mounting pressure to adapt infrastructure, migration policy, and aid as weather extremes intensify.

As nations race to cut emissions, sustainable agriculture emerges as a key lever, with regenerative practices boosting soil carbon, reducing fertilizer use, and safeguarding food security amid a warming climate.

Conservation experts urge urgent protection of biodiversity hotspots as habitat loss and climate risks intensify. A new report calls for funding, Indigenous partnerships, and stronger safeguards to prevent irreversible declines.

As climate risks intensify, global agreements like the Paris Accord set shared targets, mobilize finance, and drive accountability. Yet uneven pledges and enforcement gaps test their power to convert promises into cuts.

Cities accelerate adoption of electric buses, bike lanes, and hydrogen freight as incentives and emissions rules tighten. Analysts say investments are surging while infrastructure gaps and supply chains test rollout timelines.

Rising ocean pollution is endangering marine species and threatening human health. New data links plastics, toxins, and oil spills to declining fisheries, contaminated seafood, and coastal economies under strain.
