In a digital world where young people get much of their information online and through social media, educators play a key role in helping students think critically and act responsibly. (more…)

According to the latest findings from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), published in December 2025, it is confirmed that 2025 will be among the warmest years on record. As by the end of the calendar year (more…)

The European Union has set itself ambitious environmental goals. Through initiatives such as the European Green Deal, it has committed to creating a sustainable and climate-neutral future. Promises are one thing (more…)

When we think of fighting the climate crisis, we see giant wind turbines and rooftops covered in solar panels. But few people think of an opera house, a film festival, or a favorite TV series. And that's where the problem lies. It turns out that (more…)

Every day we are faced with news about climate change, growing landfills and our dependence on fossil fuels. These may seem like insurmountable problems, but the truth is that the answers often lie right in front of us – hidden in the waste we produce and in nature. (more…)

When we think of air pollution, most of us picture towering factory chimneys spewing smoke or endless traffic jams in the city. These images are powerful, but they are only part of a much more complex and often surprising reality. Real threats to quality (more…)

European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change , established under the European Climate Law in 2021, consists of 15 independent leading scientific experts, who cover a wide range of relevant disciplines.

The Advisory Committee provides independent scientific advice on EU climate action and objectives and their consistency with European climate law and the EU's international commitments under the Paris Agreement, which will underpin EU climate action and efforts to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Application C3S Atlas has come a long way since its launch in February 2024. Users around the world have already experienced the powerful and intuitive features of the browser (app) and the associated dataset, which provide quick access not only to some of the most representative climate projections, but also to observations and reanalyses.

The latest addition to the C3S Atlas family is theuser tools. This resource is a Jupyter book with a set of notebooks. These tools increase transparency and facilitate the reuse of data and visual products in C3S Atlas. The new addition helps bring Atlas even closer to the FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse) principles.

While our attention is focused on carbon dioxide (CO₂), other, much more powerful „super“ greenhouse gases lurk in the background. These invisible players have the potential to significantly accelerate climate change, so it’s crucial to understand where they come from and how we can control them. (more…)

European cities, including small and medium-sized ones, play a a key role in supporting growth, innovation, decarbonisation and social inclusion. A significant proportion of the population lives in cities, towns and suburbs. (more…)

When we think of Europe, we often imagine green landscapes and rivers full of water. The idea that our „rich“ continent could face a water crisis seems far-fetched. However, the reality is much more worrying. Europe is facing a serious (more…)

Methane (CH₄) is primarily known as strong greenhouse gas, which contributes to global warming. Less widely known is its role in the formation of ground-level ozone (O₃). Ground-level ozone is formed by the chemical reaction of methane (CH₄) (more…)

Air pollution is an invisible threat that we face every day, often without realizing it. New report However, a study from late 2025, which analyzes data from 2023, reveals some surprising and disturbing truths about the air we breathe. (more…)

Climate change has widespread and profound impacts on the well-being of people around the world, from rising temperatures and extreme weather events to water scarcity and rising sea levels. Research identified more than 400 (more…)

For decades, we have relied on a basic assumption in our climate models: large forest ecosystems, like those in Africa, are our faithful allies. They act as (more…)

Most of us view climate change and plastic pollution as two separate, albeit huge, environmental crises. On the one hand, we have a warming planet, and on the other, oceans and land choking on plastic waste. (more…)

While the scientific community has produced increasingly reliable knowledge about the physical consequences of global warming on time scales of tens of decades and longer, (more…)

In discussions about climate change, we often hear about „tipping points“ – critical thresholds beyond which sudden and irreversible change in the Earth’s climate system can occur. These points are the source of (more…)

When we think of a warming Arctic, most of us imagine melting sea ice on the surface and rising ocean levels. These changes are dramatic and visible. But deep beneath the ice sheet, in the freezing darkness thousands of meters below, (more…)

Climate news can often be overwhelming. The constant stream of headlines about record temperatures, extreme weather events and international disagreements can make it feel like progress is slow. (more…)
