The study, published in Nature Climate Change, uses a field of climate science called “attribution” to determine the contribution of the world’s “wealthiest population groups” to climate change through the greenhouse gases they emit. The authors also calculate the contribution of these high-income groups to the increasing frequency of heatwaves and droughts.

Children born in 2020 will face “unprecedented exposure” to extreme weather events, including heatwaves, droughts and wildfires, even if warming is limited to 1.5C above pre-industrial temperatures.

A new survey reveals that “very few” Africans place responsibility for climate action on “rich countries” – despite the long history of carbon emissions from the most developed nations. 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.
