In India’s Mountains, Climate Change Is Rewriting the Map of Disease 02/07/2026 Arsalan Bukhari & Naila Tabassum In 1994, Manvati Nag, an indigenous woman from Bijapur district in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, married and moved to Halbaras village in the forested Dantewada region about 80 kilometres away. Although the move was relatively short, it dramatically altered her health. Before moving, Nag never got sick. But after her move, she started […] Continue reading -> The Climate-Health Crisis Needs Money, Not More Declarations 01/07/2026 Stefan Anderson On the day France recorded its hottest temperature on record, a coalition of health ministers, officials and advocates huddled in a sweaty, half-full auditorium in Paris to take stock of a campaign they have spent a decade waging: the fight to put human health at the centre of the world’s response to climate change. The […] Continue reading -> London Climate Week: Improving Air Quality Starts With City-Level Actions 30/06/2026 Amanda Magnani LONDON – “Cleaner air is possible when there’s political will,” said Cecilia Vaca Jones, executive director of Breathe Cities, told a panel during London Climate Action Week. Britain’s capital is the poster child for that statement. In 2019, less than a decade after more stringent national air quality targets were first introduced, some experts estimated […] Continue reading -> Despite Wildfires, Europe’s 2025 Air Quality Improves as Regulation and Tech Advances Pay Off 30/06/2026 Disha Shetty Decades of environmental policies, advances in technology, and cleaner approaches to industry and transportation in Europe have paid off, resulting in a steady decrease in the emission of major air pollutants. Despite the challenge of wildfires, Europe’s air quality improved in 2025, according to the latest data released by Copernicus, the European Union’s (EU) Earth […] Continue reading -> Wildfire Smoke: The Health Emergency That Urgently Needs a Seat at the Climate Table 25/06/2026 Angela Churie Kallhauge As Europe sweats through the hottest week on record for June, the continent faces the looming spectre of wildfires – just one year after last year’s deadly events in Turkiye and Southern Europe. But wildfire season is no longer episodic. It has evolved into a year-long threat, fueled by a warmer climate and its side […] Continue reading -> Nearly Every Child on Earth Now Faces a Climate Hazard 17/06/2026 Stefan Anderson A landmark UNICEF report that maps children’s exposure to overlapping climate hazards finds that almost half the world’s children – 1.1 billion kids – now contend with at least three threats at once.

Over the past four years, extreme heat has claimed more than 200,000 lives across Europe, positioning it as the deadliest climate-related hazard.
