Beavers can turn riverbeds into powerful carbon sinks!
“When scaled across all floodplain areas suitable for beaver recolonisation in Switzerland, the researchers estimate that beaver wetlands could offset 1.2-1.8% of the nation’s annual carbon emissions”

Beavers can turn riverbeds into powerful carbon sinks
According to a new international study, beavers could play a significant role in Europe’s climate mitigation efforts, by transforming suitable river corridors into long‑term carbon stores.

A vast meshwork of soil-bound fungi governs life aboveground. In Alaska, and at field sites around the world, researchers are racing to understand exactly how, with critical stores of carbon at stake.

State of the Global Climate 2025
WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.
