El Niño conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific and are forecast to strengthen rapidly over the coming months, increasing the likelihood of heatwaves, droughts, heavy rainfall and other extreme weather events in many parts of the world.

Every summer, communities across northern Australia brace for the tropical cyclone season. Tropical cyclones draw their power from the warm seas, extracting heat and moisture from ocean water.

Imagine a global political summit that shapes the future of our planet where one of the most populated countries in the world does not have a voice?

Researchers at Newcastle University have carried out the first comprehensive modelling of glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) risk in Bhutan and identified previously unrecognised high-risk lakes.

Forecasters expect the El Niño now underway in the tropical Pacific to strengthen into a strong or very strong climate driver later this year.

The lives and livelihoods of local communities in the borderlands of the Lake Chad Basin are disrupted by both climate change and conflict , which are mutually reinforcing.

Climate change adaptation ‘success’ is being defined and measured through metrics that often fail the communities they are meant to support.

Climate-related disasters are becoming more frequent and more intense across sub-Saharan Africa.

The heatwaves of today are the coolest heatwaves we are likely to experience for the rest of our lives. SRSG Kamal Kishore reflects on how cultural institutions can play a central role in extreme heat action – and in disaster risk reduction more broadly.

Cities across the world are still preparing for the heat that we're experiencing today.

Earlier this month, Wellington declared a local state of emergency, including evacuation orders, when forecast powerful swells threatened to inundate coastal properties.

Using LEGO-inspired interlocking concrete block systems and adapting them for structural housing purposes, Mr Mathavanyakam aims to significantly reduce building time, lower labour demands and decrease construction costs.

University of Southern California geophysicist Sylvain Barbot explained what’s known about the earthquake pulses so far, what risks are still ahead and why Californians should pay attention.

For the first time, the World Risk Poll has measured not just how people around the world view the threat of climate change, but also whether they believe their fellow citizens feel the same.

Even as global rates of workplace injury are declining, action is still needed to reduce harm amongst the most vulnerable. There are also signs of complacency in the face of rising harm from food, drinking water and poor air quality.

This report explores public perceptions of the threat of climate change - perceptions that are shaped by people’s lived experience of risk in their daily lives as much as by scientific evidence.
