Climate modelers have published new emissions scenarios for CMIP7 that will guide future climate projections for the IPCC’s seventh assessment report, with revised naming conventions and notably lower high-end emissions estimates.

Methane reduction must complement CO2 net-zero targets to keep global warming well-below 2C, according to research showing that current policies alone would result in peak warming exceeding that threshold.

West London will hire a dedicated officer to combat illegal sewage misconnections that pollute waterways. The pilot program, funded by London’s mayor, aims to enforce property owners to fix incorrect plumbing sending waste into surface drains.

Europe experienced extreme summer heat and drought that substantially reduced crop yields across the continent, with France facing particularly severe losses in cereal and maize production.

Puffin numbers at a major UK colony on the Isle of May have declined by 30% over two years due to extreme weather and reduced food supplies, according to conservationists.

A new study finds that increased marine heat waves correlate with higher child mortality and malnutrition rates in low- and middle-income countries, though researchers have not yet determined the exact causal mechanisms.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for cross-party talks with Prime Minister Andy Burnham to address extreme weather and climate threats, including anticipated impacts from an upcoming super El Niño.

Northern Ireland’s electricity generation from renewable sources reached 53% in the year to June, surpassing a previous record set in 2022.

As farmland ownership shifts across the U.S., farmers face mounting pressures from rising land values, climate change, and declining interest from younger generations, prompting many to explore conservation strategies.

Scientists are investigating whether the Atlantic’s ocean currents may be weakening due to climate change, potentially bringing more extreme weather swings to Britain and north-west Europe.

China published a five-year coal development plan covering 2026-2030 that emphasizes coal’s role in energy security without setting a specific year for consumption to peak, reflecting broader prioritization of stable energy supply amid geopolitical concerns.

A Conservative-backed report proposes abandoning UK net-zero targets to reduce electricity costs, but analysis shows the alternative scenario would increase emissions by 524 million tonnes and reduce electrification of heat and transport.
