The singling out of “slash and burn” farming practices in Belize’s Indigenous communities as the primary cause of wildfires ignores the underlying causes of the climate crisis, are scientifically unfounded and stoke resentment of Indigenous Peoples.

An ageing global population is converging with record-shattering heat - driven by climate change. This article offers a look into scenarios where tragic outcomes could have been avoided with simple actions

A UNECE-UNESCO report highlights that only 28% of transboundary water agreements are fully operational, undermining resilience to floods and droughts. The lack of cooperation on shared water resources delays global efforts to address climate challenges.

Hurricane Helene's flooding has subsided, but health risks are growing in hard-hit regions of the North Carolina mountains, where many people lost access to power and clean water.

AI is enhancing disaster early warnings by improving accuracy, speed, and accessibility, but global standards are needed to ensure trust and fairness. Collaboration between sectors is crucial for developing effective disaster management solutions.

The damage caused by Hurricane Helene is proof that the U.S. must adapt building and insurance practices to a new reality as these natural hazards become normalized, says Northeastern professor Daniel Aldrich.

‘Flying laboratories’ will bolster atmospheric research and severe weather prediction

Zambia’s severe drought demands urgent, unified action for preparedness and response.

As the climate changes and sea levels rise, there is concern that sinking coastlines could exacerbate risks to infrastructure, as well as human and environmental health in coastal communities, particularly the Virginia Coastal Plain.

Toxic material can spread, settle and impact surrounding communities. A team of researchers mapped out hazardous industrial sites across the US and paired them with hurricanes' projected impact maps to help communities hold nearby facilities accountable.
