The latest Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) climate bulletin confirms that July 2025 was +1.25°C above the pre-industrial baseline (1850-1900). It was only the fourth month in the last 25 months with the global average surface air temperature below the 1.5°C threshold. (more…)

In a time of global environmental change driven by urbanization and land use change, humans are becoming increasingly disconnected from nature. This disconnection, known as the “extinction of experience,” is (more…)

Bełchatów is often cited as the largest coal-fired (lignite) power plant in Europe and one of the world's largest sources of coal-fired electricity emissions. Its installed (achievable) capacity ranges from (more…)

Climate change is no longer a distant future prediction. It is a reality, manifested in more frequent extreme heat waves, stronger storms, massive fires and accelerated melting of glaciers. Yet it is (more…)

Solastalgia is a term coined by Australian environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht to describe a specific psychological pain from the changing places we live in. It is not an official diagnosis in the DSM or ICD, but it is a useful concept in psychology and public health. (more…)

The Arctic is burning, even though we can't see the flames. France is choking on smoke, and European psychologists are warning of a wave of climate anxiety. All of these phenomena have one thing in common: the accelerating climate crisis. (more…)

Cities around the world are facing growing challenges brought about by climate change, frequent heat waves and increasing pollution. In response to these problems, there is an increasing push for natural solutions (NbS)that use natural systems to address urban (more…)

New research shows that the economic impacts of climate change, especially extreme temperatures, are much more widespread and costly than previously thought. The study, which uses data from Italian companies and detailed climate records, (more…)

In the effort to meet the Paris Agreement and limit global warming to “well below 2°C”, the world faces a huge challenge: the global economy is decarbonising at least five times slower than necessary. In this context, (more…)

Recent research has revealed a surprising disconnect between perception and reality when it comes to the global public’s willingness to contribute to climate action. The study found that participants at the UN General Assembly on the Environment (more…)

Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges of our time. Although the central point of its mitigation is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, removal of atmospheric CO2 is also necessary, as technological solutions are not yet (more…)

Pristine sub-Antarctic Heard Island, an Australian external territory located approximately 4,100 kilometers southwest of Perth and 1,700 kilometers north of Antarctica, is experiencing dramatic glacier loss due to climate change. (more…)

As climate change continues to raise temperatures around the world, the impact of extreme heat is becoming increasingly felt, including in Europe, which is warming twice as fast as the global average. Heat stress, a condition resulting from the body's struggle to regulate its (more…)

Climate change is resulting in more frequent and intense natural disasters. Children are not only victims of these disasters, but are increasingly seen as key change agentsThey are particularly vulnerable, both as direct victims and (more…)

When we think of climate change, most of us think of melting glaciers, extreme weather, or animal migration. However, few people realize that one of the most vulnerable organs in the climate crisis is the human brain. (more…)

Microplastics — tiny but destructive. Invisible to the naked eye, but felt in every part of the planet — including in our bodies. This invisible form of pollution finds its way into food, air, water and human organs. But its impact doesn't stop with our health – microplastics carry (more…)

The climate crisis, driven by greenhouse gases, is one of the most defining features of life in the 21st century. This is evidenced by the fact that while 2025 is unlikely to be the warmest year on record – as 2023 was and 2024 will be – it will still be (more…)

At a time when the planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges, legal instruments to address the climate crisis are gaining increasing importance. A major breakthrough at the global level is the recent (more…)

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, and transport plays a key role in its escalation. Especially in rural tourist regions, the proportion of tourists arriving by car is high. (more…)

A fictional view of the future that becomes reality. The year 2040 brings the fulfillment of the worst predictions - the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet, the cessation of ocean circulation, and the death of the Amazon rainforest. (more…)
