Carbon farming in Mediterranean soil (news) — The article explains how carbon farming practices such as agroforestry, reduced ploughing, and organic soil cover can increase soil organic carbon storage, with particular potential in Mediterranean…
[cited] Costa Rica payments for ecosystem services (news) — Costa Rica halted deforestation and raised its forest cover from a 1980s low of 21% to 57%, while protecting 25% of its land. The commentary credits 1990s environmental legislation and the Payment…
Japan blue carbon restoration and credits (news) — Japan is turning to 'blue carbon,' the carbon stored by coastal ecosystems such as seagrass, seaweed, and mangroves, to both cut emissions and restore degraded coastlines. The Japan Blue Economy…
Agrivoltaic system economic profitability (news) — Researchers from Sweden and Italy used Monte Carlo simulations to model the profitability and cost-effectiveness of one-axis, vertical, and elevated agrivoltaic systems across European crop rotations…
Annual climate science research assessment (news) — The annual 'Ten New Insights in Climate Science' assessment, compiled by Future Earth, the Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme, draws on satellite data and peer-reviewed research…
Tropical Storm Hanna formation (news) (needs verification) — Tropical Storm Hanna formed in the central subtropical Atlantic on September 28, 2026, about 870 miles northeast of Bermuda, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The US National Hurricane Center…
Data center demand response flexibility (news) (needs verification) — Tech companies and utilities are exploring "demand response" for AI data centers, in which facilities cut or shift electricity use during peak grid stress to ease strain from surging demand.…
Global food security and prices (news) (needs verification) — The World Bank's October 2026 update says global food markets are stable with adequate supplies. The aggregate agriculture price index fell 1 percent and the cereal index fell 6 percent, but prices…
EU ETS market stability reserve changes (news) (needs verification) — EU member-state ambassadors agreed to stop deleting excess CO2 permits from the Emissions Trading System's market stability reserve and keep them as a buffer against price spikes. The change responds…
Worker heat protections via market-based enforcement (news) — With federal, state and local heat protections stalled or blocked, worker groups are copying the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' Fair Food Program, which uses retailer pressure and market-based…
Young secondary forest carbon removal (study) — This Nature Climate Change study generates global growth curves for aboveground live biomass in secondary forests at roughly 1-km² resolution. It finds that young secondary forests, aged about 20 to…
Copernicus Ocean State Report ocean changes (study) — The 10th Copernicus Ocean State Report, published with a summary and a ten-year anniversary supplement, documents how the ocean has changed over the past decade, with the most recent years standing…
Ocean acidification and kelp physiology (study) (needs verification) — A mesocosm experiment on juvenile Laminaria digitata kelp tested ocean warming (+3°C) and elevated CO2 (1000 ppm), alone and combined. Elevated CO2 increased growth only in the absence of warming,…
Hurricane economic disruption and recovery (study) (needs verification) — Using daily transaction data from 7,987 US ZIP codes exposed to 21 Atlantic hurricanes between 2017 and 2024, the study finds that hurricanes cause economic losses equivalent to about two days of…
Ecological restoration project assessment in Mexico (study) (needs verification) — A survey-based assessment of 75 terrestrial and wetland restoration projects in Mexico examined the interventions used, ecological and socio-economic results, and monitoring practices. Most projects…
Renewables and European electricity price volatility (study) (needs verification) — The article itself could not be retrieved. The surrounding material indicates that researchers and agencies are examining how a growing share of renewable generation affects European electricity…
Merit-order effect and renewable value factors (study) (needs verification) — Rapid growth of variable renewable energy (VRE) in Europe has intensified the merit-order effect, lowering wholesale prices and deteriorating renewable value factors, which raises doubts about the…
German renewable subsidy market reform (study) — The paper analyses Germany's shift from fixed feed-in tariffs to mandatory market participation with market premium and contract-for-difference-type support, drawing lessons for China's electricity…
AMOC slowdown and Atlantic Niño (study) (needs verification) — Fully coupled model simulations that hold AMOC strength fixed under greenhouse warming isolate how an AMOC slowdown affects the Atlantic Niño, the dominant mode of interannual variability in the…
AI data center grid economics (study) — A structured critical review of 44 sources finds that the economic and environmental effects of AI data centers depend on project-realization probability, coincident demand, and location rather than…
Wildfire smoke mortality projections (study) (needs verification) — Using deep learning models trained on station-validated data and bias-corrected climate projections, the study estimates global wildfire (landscape fire-sourced) smoke PM2.5 and ozone from 2020 to…
EU carbon pricing macroeconomic effects (study) (needs verification) — EU-wide carbon pricing generally produces negative macroeconomic effects for the EU-27. The size of those effects depends on how revenues are recycled and on model closure and exchange-rate…
Curated individual climate action resources (tool) — This curated GitHub list collects resources for reducing environmental impact across categories such as carbon reduction, transportation, food, finance, waste, and politics. Its Carbon Reduction…
