Predator species may buffer the negative impacts of climate change by mitigating against the loss of biodiversity, according to new research led by scientists in Trinity College Dublin and Hokkaido University.

Decades of scientific evidence demonstrate unequivocally that human activities jeopardize life on Earth. Dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system compounds many other drivers of global change. Governments concur: The science is settled.

Three local NGOs, Te Ipukarea Society, Kōrero o te ‘Ōrau and Cook Islands Voyaging Society, all came together at Tamarind House to share experiences from the voyages. A range of marine related issues were discussed including industrial fisheries, microplastics found in the ocean and the immi

In an oceanic omen for climate change's intensifying effects, Cornell-led research shows that seagrass—through large swaths of intertidal meadows in the Pacific Northwest—suffers from a lesion-filled wasting disease. The grasses' once-vibrant plant root systems are deteriorating, too.

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz are contributing new insights into the challenges plants face in adapting to climate change.

On November 6, Brianna Fruean and other Pacific Islands representatives marched in Glasgow as all eyes are on the United Kingdom for the COP26 climate change summit happening this month.

As the United Nations Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow winds down, many world leaders and corporate boards are embracing an increasingly popular idea to solve climate change: trees.

Climate change is altering familiar conditions of the world's oceans and creating new environments that could undermine efforts to protect sea life in the world's largest marine protected areas. The changing conditions also have cultural and economic implications for the people whose traditi

Grand global commitments to plant trees to fight climate change are welcome. Healthy landscapes that suck planet-heating carbon out of the atmosphere—locking it into forests and soils—are among the best technologies there are yet to bend the Keeling Curve in a new direction.

During a U.N. Climate Change Conference session on the Pacific Islands, former President Barack Obama recited a Hawaiian proverb to stress the importance of uniting countries to mitigate the effects of climate change.
