Climate finance is vital for combating climate change, requiring genuine sustainability, not false solutions. At COP28, Raya Salter, Tom Goldtooth, and Dan Galpern analyzed financial flows, their impact, and legal actions for misuse. They emphasized immediate action over fossil fuel "band-aids."

Italy, situated between the rapidly warming Adriatic and Mediterranean seas, is acutely vulnerable to climate change. Last year, severe drought drained many rivers and dried up 45% of its farmland.

This year, northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region faced catastrophic flooding, with rivers bursting banks and submerging thousands of acres after receiving half their annual rainfall in 36 hours. Professor Peter Wadhams, witnessing these crises firsthand from Turin, highlights heat as a major concern, regardless of varying wet or dry conditions.

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events

Glaciers are vital for global cooling and freshwater, but they are rapidly shrinking worldwide. Accelerating ice loss, particularly in the Himalayas, Alps, and at both poles, causes severe events like avalanches and flash floods, exacerbating disasters such as Pakistan's 2022 monsoons.

Professors Detlef Stammer (University of Hamburg) and Peter Wadhams (Cambridge University) will discuss these disappearing glaciers, their impacts, and potential conservation measures.

Plastic poses serious health risks, from its production harming communities to its breakdown into ubiquitous microplastics infiltrating our environment and bodies. Over 9 billion tonnes have been produced since 1950, with ocean debris potentially outweighing all fish soon.

Greenpeace's John Hocevar will attend negotiations in Ottawa for a binding Global Plastic Treaty. Join the campaign by signing a letter to President Biden, urging a strong treaty: Greenpeace USA.

Greenland’s ice sheets hold enough freshwater to raise sea levels over twenty feet. While not an immediate threat, recent research shows glaciers are shrinking seven times faster than a few years ago, losing an average of 30 million tonnes per hour.

This influx of freshwater into the ocean significantly impacts the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is vital for maintaining global weather patterns. Experts like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith are studying these critical changes.
