In parts of Odisha in eastern India, Indigenous women from forest-dependent communities are creating “dream maps” to help safeguard their ancestral lands from the growing impacts of climate change. The maps combine traditional knowledge, memories and local observations to document key resources such as forests, streams, grazing lands and sacred sites. Women in districts like […]

Scientists and legal experts have strongly criticised the decision to remove a climate science chapter from the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, a key guide used by US judges to understand complex scientific topics in court cases. The section was removed after several Republican state attorneys general raised concerns about potential bias in climate-related legal

Logging operations marketed as “sustainable” are facing growing scrutiny as large areas of Canada’s forests continue to be clear-cut. Investigations show that some timber companies operating under widely recognised certification programs are harvesting sections of older forests that are critical for climate stability. Canada is home to nearly 9% of the world’s forests, and its

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck southern Japan near the Kyushu region, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). The quake occurred at a depth of around 120 kilometres beneath the surface, making it a relatively deep seismic event. Although no tsunami warning was issued, the tremor was felt across several parts of Kyushu,

India is preparing for a hotter-than-usual summer this year, with weather experts warning that temperatures from March to May could remain above normal across many parts of the country. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) expects a higher number of heatwave days than usual, following an already unusually warm February. Some regions have already recorded temperatures

What if your morning coffee could help cool the planet? Engineers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have developed a way to turn spent coffee grounds — a ubiquitous urban waste — into a climate‑friendly concrete ingredient. By heating used coffee grounds in a low‑oxygen process called pyrolysis, they produce biochar, a carbon‑rich material that
