A growing body of research is pointing to a dangerous convergence: toxic chemicals and climate stress are jointly driving a global fertility crisis. A new peer-reviewed review of 177 studies finds that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals—found in plastics such as phthalates, bisphenols, and PFAS—combined with rising temperatures and climate stress, creates an additive and potentially synergistic impact on reproductive health...

Climate change is often described as a crisis of emissions, a crisis of temperature, or an environmental crisis. After months of examining its intersections...

For years, climate policy revolved around one central objective: "mitigation". Reduce emissions. Limit warming. Prevent the worst. The language of climate diplomacy was built...
