A new study carried out by the Nature Map Consortium shows that managing a strategically placed 30% of land for conservation could safeguard 70% of all considered terrestrial plant and vertebrate animal species, while simultaneously conserving more than 62% of the world's above and below ground v

It is not easy to predict how animals—from insects to fish—are going to respond to climate change and especially extremes of temperature. This lack of understanding hinders our ability to predict the vulnerability of these animals to climate change.

The Montreal Protocol, a global ban ozone-damaging compounds, also saved the world's plants and helped give us a fighting chance against climate change...Often held up as a success story of international cooperation, the protocol’s global ban on ozone-damaging commercial compounds...has led to th

The impacts of human-caused climate change are severe and widespread as soaring temperatures, droughts, intense storms, rising seas and other extreme weather events will continue to be felt for centuries, according to a grim new report by the world’s top climate scientists.

Coastal communities around the world are facing increasing threats from tropical cyclones. Climate change is causing rising sea levels and bigger, more frequent storms. Many coastal communities are pondering what to do.

A new UBC study on the impact of climate change on coral reefs is raising sticky questions about conservation. It found coral in more polluted and high traffic water handled extreme heat events better than a more remote, untouched reef.

Pacific Ministers have identified dealing with the immediate impacts of COVID-19 and the longer-term threats of climate change on offshore fisheries as key areas to address, at the 18th Forum Fisheries Committee Ministerial meeting (FFCMin18), which concluded yesterday. 

The Pacific's coral reef systems and coastal fisheries are set for extinction if wealthy nations don't drastically and immediately cut greenhouse gas emissions.
