Billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates has taken aim at the "doomsday view of climate change" and called for global efforts to aggressively reduce carbon emissions to be redirected towards economic growth and disease prevention.

By virtually every key metric, efforts to fight climate change are going too slowly, according to findings by a coalition of climate groups. In some cases, things are moving in the wrong direction.

The recent discovery of mosquitos in Iceland is just one way the climate crisis is creating new health hazards. A new scientific report says these risks are now unprecedented.

The worsening consequences of the climate crisis could fatally "derail" climate action, researchers have warned.

Only 64 countries have submitted new plans to cut carbon, the UN says, despite all being required to do so ahead of next month's COP30 summit. Added together these national pledges would fail to keep the world from warming by more than 1.5C, a key threshold to very dangerous levels of climate change.

Only 19.8 per cent of rural households use clean fuels, report urges urgent action on gender-sensitive climate policies.

Fears of climate change are diminishing in the United States, China and many Western countries, although they are still rising in some places, according to a new survey.

Hope isn’t lost, says Nobel Prize chemist Omar Yaghi, whose new breakthroughs are already turning the tide on water scarcity and CO₂ pollution.
