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 has often been described as a planetary crisis: it is. Nevertheless, it is also something more institutional. The defining feature of this moment is not only rising temperatures, intensifying floods, and spreading droughts. It is the growing mismatch between accelerating environmental disruption and governance systems designed for a more predictable world.
Over the past year, this series has...
For years, climate policy revolved around one central objective: "mitigation". Reduce emissions. Limit warming. Prevent the worst. The language of climate diplomacy was built...
Climate change is often framed as a technical problem—measured in degrees, emissions, and timelines. But for those living with its consequences, it is fundamentally a question of justice. Who bears the cost of a crisis they did...

The global energy transition is often described as inevitable. Solar and wind installations are breaking records, electric vehicles are entering mainstream markets, and governments...
