ESSAY: WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2023 / Climate fiction and the fictions we tell ourselves

There is an element of the unexpected in the twinning of fiction and ecology. A sense of unease of sorts exists in the pairing together of fiction, a form of narrative that is untrue, with the imminent ecological disaster, an environmental inevitability that is true.

Heatwaves, global warming, and the ethics of our cities

We must rethink how cities are planned, designed, and administered to combat the adverse effects of both the heat island problem and climate change.

More heatwaves are coming our way. Are we prepared?

We need to rapidly find ways to deal with heat stress.

Beware of methane leaks!

Excessive concentration of methane in Dhaka demands proper scrutiny

No glaciers, no future

Sea level rise, flash floods, and heat waves are the direct consequences of glacier melting.

There is a way to cool Dhaka city down

Deciduous trees play an essential role in countering the urban heat island effect.

Is global governance failing to deliver climate commitments?

While commitment is the first step, finance is the most important means for implementation of climate commitments. But in this case, there are huge gaps, as pledges remain unfulfilled.

What's the link between global heating and extreme weather?

Heavy snowfall und subzero temperatures have wreaked havoc on the United States this holiday season. Deutsche Welle takes a closer look at how this and other types of extreme weather link back to climate change.

Negotiations going strong at COP27

The developing countries are united in their demand for the establishment of the Sharm El Sheikh Finance Facility for Loss and Damage (SSFFLD) at the end of the climate conference later this week.
