Immediate call for global action to shift world towards a “Nature Positive” approach is published today in Frontiers in Science. 

New research out of the University of New Hampshire reveals that the majority of New Hampshire ski industry professionals are concerned about the effects of global warming on the ski industry, which generates close to $278.8 million each season in the Granite State, and believe more should be done. The study released by UNH’s Carsey School of Public Policy shows that this shared unease suggests a readiness to adopt sustainable practices and advocate for industry-wide adaptations. 

Summer weather is arriving earlier, lasting longer and packing more heat than it used to—and it’s happening faster than scientists had previously measured. A new study by UBC researchers has found that between 1990 and 2023, the average summer between the tropics and the polar circles grew about six days longer per decade. That’s up from roughly four days per decade found in past research investigating up until the early 2010s. The study also found that seasonal transitions—the shift from spring to summer and from summer to autumn—are becoming more abrupt. The research raises questions about whether today’s climate models that inform planning and policy fully capture these trends, and their implications for extreme weather events, energy consumption and food supply.

Glaciers in High Mountain Asia — a region encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding mountain ranges — are shrinking rapidly, endangering water resources for millions of people, suggests a new study.

Research in New Phytologist shows that plants can acquire nutrients not only from the soil but also from atmospheric dust that settles and dissolves on their leaves, releasing elements such as phosphorus and iron.

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist generations after the initial event. The escalating effects of climate change are likely to, in effect, speed up evolution.

In their current state, climate policies around the world could leave a significant chunk of the global population exposed to simultaneous extreme heat and drought over five times more often by the end of this century than during the mid-to-late 20th century, according to a study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
