An international study, featuring CMCC scientists, reveals that the true economic damage of climate change has been vastly underestimated – because the ocean has been left out of the equation. By integrating the latest ocean science into climate-economic models, researchers found that accounting for climate impacts on marine ecosystems and ocean-dependent infrastructure nearly doubles the social cost of carbon. The hidden ocean cost is estimated at $48 per tonne of CO₂, a figure that should be added to current policy calculations.

An international body of research led by UNSW academics warns progress towards gender equality at work is stalling – and in some cases going backwards – as climate change, artificial intelligence, violence and politics reshape working conditions.

New research involving the University of East Anglia (UEA) reveals how fast the world’s river deltas are sinking and the human-driven causes.

Home to hundreds of millions of people, until now it was unclear what the rate of delta elevation loss is, or what is driving delta subsidence.

In a new study published today in Nature, scientists report that land subsidence caused by humans - through the extraction of groundwater - is the main culprit.
