If the next phase of global climate governance is to succeed, climate security must move to the centre of peace and security thinking. It is time to add geo-environment, alongside geopolitics and geo-economics, recognising that planetary health is now a core security concern

The argument we are making here is that there is both a need and an opportunity to adopt compound resilience policies.
"These are policies that can help communities grow while improving quality of life," Galik says.
"For example, we know that incorporating greenhouse gas efficiency measures into new construction is substantially less expensive than retrofitting existing structures,"

Researchers are proposing a new strategy for local governments to make municipalities more resilient against climate change. The "compounded resilience" strategy lays out how local governments can take advantage of opportunities to both limit adverse impacts of climate change on their communities and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change.
Birds are moving higher up mountains due to climate change, reveals new research.
Many species have moved toward colder areas in mountain ranges across Europe as temperatures have risen over the last two decades, say scientists.
Sunny southern slopes attract birds to live at higher elevations than shadier northern slopes

Accounting for behavioral uncertainty, potential load fluctuations could increase by up to 82.7%. Regional heterogeneity in charging patterns drives distinct spatial profiles of electricity variability, influencing the effectiveness of demand-side management strategies. These findings highlight the importance of targeted, behaviorally informed interventions to mitigate grid reliability risks under deep EV adoption

This study shows that micro-level uncertainty in EV charging behaviour can amplify macrolevel load variability by up to 82.7%, with marked regional differences, underscoring the need for behaviour-aware strategies to maintain power system stability.
Under the high-greenhouse-gas-emission scenario (Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5), the average intensity of river heatwaves will increase by ~4.2-fold, & the average duration by ~95-fold, relative to the baseline period (1976–2005). Nearly half of the world’s rivers are expected to experience a year-round heatwave state by the 2090 s. Global population exposure to river heatwaves will reach 16.8 billion person-weeks annually

River heatwaves are becoming stronger and longer-lasting globally. Nearly half of the world’s rivers will reach a ‘permanent’ (year-round) heatwave state by the 2090 s under high greenhouse gas emissions scenario, and annual population exposure will reach 16.8 billion person-weeks.

Consumer Survey: Around 60% of Canadians seek strong action on wildfires even as climate change drops on priority list
Climate change may have slipped on Canadians’ priority list, but it remains front and centre when it hits closest to home—most notably in the form of wildfires inflicting property damage, raising insurance costs and impacting health
