The mother of all climate feedbacks?
Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 10/05/2024
» 'Just like this year, last year the heatwave extended from parts of India to Bangladesh and Myanmar, and all the way to Thailand. This year it went further east, into the Philippines. So, it's the same pattern," said Prof Krishna Achutarao of the Indian Institute of Technology. "I do not particularly buy into this idea that El Niño is the cause."
The gigantic 'anomaly' in climate change
Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 30/03/2024
» It was bound to happen some time, and the time could well be now. We know that when there was strong warming on our planet (like at the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago), there were sudden big leaps in the global temperature. It wasn't a smooth process at all.

» With the world's human population expected to reach a staggering ten billion in the next century, the question of how to achieve food security looms large. The current food system is certainly not up to the task: already, it is failing to ensure that the global population is nourished and contributing to environmental degradation. Radical reform is long overdue.

Time for global climate solidarity
Oped, Saber Hossain Chowdhury & Hassan Damluji, Published on 03/11/2023
» The world is barrelling down a perilous path. Or, as United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres put it, "We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator." But global warming is not just another political issue: reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions is an existential imperative that must not be ignored.
It's time to listen to indigenous voices
Oped, Regan Pairojmahakij & David Ganz, Published on 26/10/2023
» The voices, wisdom and priorities of indigenous peoples and local communities are central to the evolution of carbon markets and the urgent transition to sustainable forest landscapes.
New playbook to preserve nature
Oped, Sandrine Dixson-Declève & Simon Zadek, Published on 09/08/2023
» The global economy is addicted to the relentless -- and unsustainable -- extraction of natural resources. Yet despite our complete dependence on nature, its contribution -- for example, the water used to make your clothes or the soil in which your food is grown -- is implicit and largely invisible. Building an equitable, nature-positive future thus requires a new generation of principles-based and well-governed markets for ecosystem assets and services.
