A tax on carbon dioxide emissions in Great Britain, introduced in 2013, has led to the proportion of electricity generated from coal falling from 40% to 3% over six years, according to research led by UCL.

New research shows that cleaning up ozone precursors within energy, industrial and transportation sectors could mitigate climate change.

A weather forecast may not allow time to make decisions that minimize the economic impacts of an extreme event, while a seasonal forecast is not precise enough to predict it. 

An international study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that the rapid increase in land use in the world's tropical areas is affecting the global carbon cycle more than was previously known. 

The British public is still largely unfamiliar with microplastics and how they relate to everyday domestic plastic usage, a new study has revealed.

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of marine heat waves—warm water anomalies that disrupt marine ecosystems—and this is creating new challenges for fisheries management and ocean conservation. 

Hotter temperatures threaten global wine production, with multiple studies now forecasting that more than half of regions suitable to planting wine grapes could be lost to climate change.

New international research led by the University of St Andrews presents a novel way to understand the structure and formation of our oldest continents.

The politically negotiated Paris Agreement is thus also the economically sensible one, Potsdam researchers find in a new study.

To mitigate climate change and safeguard ecosystems, we need to make drastic changes in our consumption and transport behaviors.
