El Niño Conditions Will Lead to More Heatwaves, Droughts and Wildfires Over Next Few Months, Warns WMO 02/06/2026 Disha Shetty Global leaders and policymakers must prepare for above-average temperatures until at least August due to El Niño conditions, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned. In a new update, the WMO indicated an 80% likelihood of an El Niño event during June–August, with a 90% probability that this could continue until at least November. Rainfall and […] Continue reading -> Global Temperatures Head For Record Highs in Next Five Years 28/05/2026 Disha Shetty Global average temperatures are likely to reach record levels in the coming five years, the latest report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns, released amid news that the UK recorded its hottest day in May ever earlier this week. Temperatures in the Arctic region are expected to continue to be higher than the global […] Continue reading -> The Price of Climate Change is Being ‘Paid by Our Lungs’ 25/05/2026 Sophia Samantaroy The impact of climate on respiratory health was the subject of a meeting alongside the World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva. This comes as the UN General Assembly endorsed a landmark International Court of Justice ruling that holds countries accountable to curb greenhouse gas emissions. “Imagine you are running. You are tired and want to […] Continue reading -> With 90% of Time Spent Indoors, Children and Vulnerable Groups Face Little Protection Against Pollutants 22/05/2026 Sophia Samantaroy Unhealthy indoor air threatens millions of lives. Public health advocates argue that investments in ventilation, air filtration, monitoring, and clean indoor air policies could deliver a rare triple benefit — protecting children’s health, strengthening pandemic preparedness, and creating healthier indoor environments well beyond the next global outbreak. When Dr Georgia Lagoudas testified in front of […] Continue reading -> WHO Member States Should Treat Fossil Fuels like Tobacco – as a Public Health Threat 15/05/2026 Jeni Miller Just as health leaders reframed tobacco from a consumer product to a public health threat, they can now help shift the narrative on fossil fuels. In the coming days, the annual World Health Assembly will convene in Geneva. Following the recent Santa Marta Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, national health ministers and global health […] Continue reading -> Energy Transition ‘Past Point of No Return,’ 57 Nations Declare at First Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Summit 01/05/2026 Stefan Anderson The first international conference on phasing out the oil, gas and coal igniting the climate crisis ended with 57 governments representing every continent and a third of the global economy declaring the transition away from fossil fuels is now irreversible. “Actions taken to date prove that the energy transition is past its point of no […] Continue reading -> Record European Heatwaves Shrink Glaciers and Diminish Snow Cover in 2025 29/04/2026 Disha Shetty Around 95% of Europe experienced above-average temperatures in 2025, with record heatwaves from the Mediterranean to the Arctic region. This caused rapid loss of glacier mass and snow cover, according to the latest State of the European Climate report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released on Thursday. All of Europe’s glaciers saw a net […] Continue reading -> Extreme Heat is Pushing Food Production to the Brink, Warns World Metereological Organization 22/04/2026 Disha Shetty Extreme heat threatens livelihoods, health and labour productivity for over a billion people around the world, warns the latest report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
