Methane is short-lived in the atmosphere. That makes it one of the most powerful levers available right now - cut it quickly, and warming slows within a generation. Read more here: www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...

The east coast of the UK is eroding more quickly than expected, forcing homes to be demolished and raising questions on the nuclear plant at Sizewell. Sir David King spoke with ITV News about the challenge and a need for a robust protection plan at Sizewell C to ensure its long-term viability.

The starting point for our latest report is a simple but often overlooked truth: our health is shaped long before we get to see a doctor. CCAG member Prof. Mark Maslin sets out why we cannot treat health & climate as separate conversations in his provoking foreword: www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...

A win for climate action is always a win for health — cleaner air, safer homes, cooler cities, food systems that actually feed people. Not side effects. That's what success looks like. Read Prof. Mark Maslin in The Conversation: theconversation.com/four-ways-to...

Climate change is a public health emergency — not a distant threat. Heatwaves, polluted air, floods, food insecurity. Yet health is still treated as an afterthought in climate policy. Our new report argues it should be the organising principle. www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...

In a byline for BusinessGreen, Mariana Mazzucato argues that to tackle climate change and economic inequality, countries must collaborate on consensus-building mechanisms - such as binding agreements on technology transfer, green finance, and shared innovation. Find the full piece in the comments.

Channel 4 has highlighted growing scientific concern that the ​​AMOC is weakening. In our climate conversation, Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf explains the AMOC, a system of ocean currents moving heat northward through the Atlantic and helping to shape the climate in Europe and across the Atlantic basin.

The US administration has revoked the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding - the foundation for federal climate regulation. This decision comes despite the overwhelming evidence of the economic, climate and public health harms of pollution. CCAG experts Alice Hill and Tessa Hill share their thoughts.

The UN Secretary-General warns that today’s economic model rewards damage, not wellbeing, as GDP can rise even as we deplete the natural systems we depend on. If we’re to build real prosperity, we need new measures of success that value wellbeing, equity, and the planet itself.

The EU and the UK are set to send 1.9 billion tonnes of municipal waste to landfill between 2022 and 2050, generating an estimated 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent methane emissions.

Oceans hit by climate change are driving up the real cost of carbon pollution - nearly doubling its impact on society, according to new research. The impacts won’t be felt equally: islands and small economies will be hit hardest due to their reliance on seafood and nutrition.

Whales in the North Atlantic are adapting to a changing ocean: eating less krill and more fish as warming waters disrupt food supplies. A powerful reminder that even the planet’s largest species are being forced to adjust to human-driven change.

2025 was the third hottest year on record – the result of continued greenhouse gas emissions. Methane has driven a third of the warming we’re seeing and our latest report explains why methane abatement is one of the most effective actions we can take now: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...

The results are in: the world’s oceans absorbed more heat in 2025 than in any year since modern records began. Our oceans are the Earth’s greatest heat shield - absorbing more than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases.

2025 brought quiet but meaningful wins: renewables overtook coal, the High Seas Treaty came into force, Amazon deforestation fell, and courts worldwide held polluters to account. Each is proof that progress is possible – yet the scale of the challenge still demands much more.

“All his [Mark Carney] clear statements while running the Bank of England, telling global banks to stop investing in new fossil fuel recovery to avoid creating stranded assets, seem now to have evaporated. It is, so far, extremely disappointing.”

10 years ago today, the Paris Agreement gave the world a clear, science-based goal: limit warming to 1.5°C. Today, that benchmark still stands but progress does not. We have entered overshoot, and are losing precious time debating costs instead of delivering the solutions to pull humanity back.

The Atlantic current that stabilises our climate is weakening, with consequences that could last for centuries. A collapse of the AMOC could mean worse winters, harsher droughts, and major global disruption. The science is clear: risks are real, but action now can still change the outcome.

A Global Health Network led study warns of a “creeping catastrophe” as climate change fuels a surge in infectious diseases–malaria, dengue, TB–spreading faster and further than ever. Already devastating communities across the Global South. The climate crisis is a health crisis and delay costs lives.

You can do it. Progress cannot rely on negotiated text alone. Meaningful climate action depends on our collective courage – across governments, industry, civil society, and communities. The resources and knowledge exist. What happens next is up to us. Read our key takeaways from COP30 below

As the dust settles on COP30, the final agreement presents a mix of gridlock and glimmers of hope. Sir David King reflects on a formal process that has stalled, contrasted with a powerful new signal that could finally drive meaningful climate action.

“A credible pathway to phase out fossil fuels must be at the heart of any outcome here.” With negotiations at COP30 reaching their crucial closing stages, there is a glaring gap in the current draft agreement: a roadmap away from fossil fuels. Sir David King reacts:

Only a third of countries submitted NDCs before COP30. That gap puts the Paris goals further out of reach, but also underlines why NDCs must do more than cut emissions. Read our report to see how they can be rewired as levers for prosperity, health and resilience. www.ccag.earth/reports/ndcs...

COP30 opens at a pivotal moment. Global temperatures have now breached 1.5°C – the limit the Paris Agreement set out to avoid. This marks the start of the overshoot era: dangerous, but temporary if we act decisively.
