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...
For years, climate policy revolved around one central objective: "mitigation". Reduce emissions. Limit warming. Prevent the worst. The language of climate diplomacy was built around temperature targets and carbon budgets.
Nevertheless, as global temperatures continue to rise and extreme weather events intensify, a subtle shift is underway. Adaptation—once treated as a secondary pillar—is moving to the foreground. Governments are investing...

The global energy transition is often described as inevitable. Solar and wind installations are breaking records, electric vehicles are entering mainstream markets, and governments...
For decades, insurance has functioned as society's quiet stabiliser. It absorbs shocks, spreads risk, and enables economic confidence in the face of uncertainty. Homes...
Climate migration is often spoken of as a future threat—an abstract possibility tied to distant warming scenarios and speculative projections. In reality, it is already reshaping societies, economies, and governance systems worldwide. People are moving not because...

The UK has recorded its hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures climbing to 30.5°C in Kent as forecasters warn that even more extreme heat could follow over the bank holiday weekend.
The temperature recorded in Frittenden marks...
