The study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, presents the results of a survey of more than 50,000 people across 39 African countries conducted over 2021-23. The authors find that just half of survey respondents have heard of climate change.

Retreating glaciers created 2,500km of “new” coastline and 35 “new” islands in the Arctic between 2000 and 2020, according to a new study. The research uses satellite images of more than 1,700 glaciers in Greenland, Alaska, the Canadian Arctic, Russian Arctic, Iceland and Svalbard. The findings show that 85% of these glaciers retreated over 2000-20, revealing 123km of new coastline per year on average.

Arctic sea ice has recorded its smallest winter peak extent since satellite records began 47 years ago, new data reveals. Provisional data from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) shows that Arctic sea ice reached a winter maximum extent of 14.33m square kilometres (km2) last week. This is 1.31m km2 below the 1981-2010 average maximum and 800,000km2 smaller than the previous low recorded in 2017, according to the data.
