Switzerland's glaciers have now lost 19.4 percent of their volume in five years, and glaciologists warn that the ice is collapsing from the inside as melt rates explode.
Provisional satellite data show the Southern Ocean's winter ice cover peaked on 14 September at 17.59 million square kilometers, the third smallest in a record that begins in 1979.
The 10th Copernicus Ocean State Report documents record ocean heat, accelerating sea level rise, a 17 percent rise in acidity and unprecedented polar warming.
A Nature Climate Change study led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences finds the global heatwave season expanded 39 days since 1979, with earlier starts and faster peaks.
Hurricane Polo hit Mexico's Baja California Sur as a Category 3 storm on September 28, 2026, prompting evacuations and shelter activations, with a second landfall forecast for Sonora.
A Reuters analysis of sea-surface temperatures shows European waters averaged 21.6 C from June to August 2026, the hottest summer since satellite records began in 1982.
World leaders at the 81st UN General Assembly session endorsed a landmark text on rising oceans that preserves the statehood and maritime rights of island nations even if their land is submerged.
The UK committed £331 million to fight climate driven instability, with £330 million for the Global Environment Facility and £1 million for the UN Climate Security Mechanism.
A University of Chicago Climate Impact Lab report estimates the 2026 Super El Niño could cause 451,000 additional heat deaths by February 2027, with most occurring in the Global South.
A diffusion model trained on ten climate simulations finds that the emissions of the decade after the Paris Agreement raised temperatures during Europe's deadliest recent heat waves.
Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research say seven of nine planetary boundaries are now crossed, with ocean acidification the newest to enter the danger zone.
IRENA and partners say 693 GW of new renewables was installed in 2025, but annual additions must roughly double to about 1,200 GW to meet the COP28 tripling target by 2030.
The Institute for Policy Studies says private aviation takes about 16 percent of FAA flight operations while paying under 0.6 percent of aviation trust fund taxes and emitting up to 14 times more per passenger.
A Rhode Island federal judge has vacated the EPA's termination of the 7 billion dollar Solar for All program, ordering the agency to restore funding meant to bring rooftop solar to over 900,000 lower income households.
A new IMBIE assessment in Scientific Data finds Greenland and Antarctica shed 11,309 billion tonnes of ice between 1979 and 2023, lifting global sea level by 31.4 millimetres.
The oil major's annual Energy Outlook sees global carbon dioxide emissions reaching 30 billion metric tons by 2050, nearly triple the level needed to limit warming to 2C.
A new analysis by the World Weather Attribution consortium concludes that human-caused warming preconditioned Nepal's Langtang Lirung slope for the August 26 collapse that killed over 1,400 people in Nepal and China.
Aviation is already 9% of UK emissions and Heathrow produces about half of the sector's total, so the committee has tied any third runway to passenger levies that could reach £400 by 2050.
Columbia University researchers report in PNAS that satellite data show a 24 to 33 percent pollution increase across 46 cities after the State Department halted its embassy air quality program in March 2025.
A new interactive map built on Nature Climate Change research projects when each of the world's glaciers could vanish at 1.5C, 2.0C, 2.7C and 4.0C of global warming.
A super El Nino has pushed Indonesia's peatland fires to the top of global wildfire emissions, with Pontianak's air quality index reaching 483 on September 13, 2026.
