UN report warns biodiversity loss and land degradation are accelerating global warming and threatening ecosystems ...
Forests have shifted from absorbing carbon to becoming a net carbon source after 2010 due to extensive losses of tropical ...
The world’s oceans act as an important sink for carbon dioxide (CO₂). To date, they have absorbed around a quarter of human-induced CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere, thereby stabilising the global ...
The total area of global karst regions is approximately 22 million square kilometers, accounting for roughly 15% of the Earth's land surface. These regions ...
The projected rise in CO2 emissions in 2025 is driven by growth in coal, like the coal-fired plant pictured, as well as oil and gas, according to the 2025 Global Carbon Budget Report. Global carbon ...
New findings challenge climate models by revealing the Southern Ocean's unexpected, but also transient, resilience as a carbon sink.
In an update to the joint UNESCO-WRI-IUCN report “World Heritage forests: carbon sinks under pressure”, new data reveals that fires have accounted for approximately 75% of tree cover loss in World ...
