UN climate chief warns Europe’s reliance on imported oil and gas fuels insecurity and price volatility, calling for urgent shift to renewable energy to shield economies from geopolitical shocks

The National Strategy aims to safeguard archaeological sites and monuments with digital tools, preventive infrastructure, and adaptation plans, addressing fire, floods, heat, drought, and sea-level rise risks linked to climate change

The research found that most assessments misalign sea-level measurements with land elevation data, potentially underestimating exposure to future flooding

Strong winds, a deep low-pressure system, and tidal forces caused severe flooding in Greek coastal towns, highlighting risks from rising sea levels. While climate change didn’t trigger this event directly, it is amplifying the impact of such storms

“The sharp rise observed between 2023 and 2025 was extreme and points to an acceleration in the pace of global warming,” Berkeley Earth scientists said.

From renewable energy triumphs to CRISPR cures, AI breakthroughs, and the largest telescope ever built, 2025 marked a pivotal year in science. Discover the innovations transforming medicine, technology, and our understanding of the universe.

The last decade has been marked by record temperatures, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and extreme heat that is becoming the new normal.

European Union scientists say 2025 may rank as the world’s second or third hottest year, marking three consecutive years above 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels and highlighting the accelerating impacts of climate change

The government warns that a potential failure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could trigger extreme cold in Europe and disrupt global weather patterns, prompting coordinated national preparedness measures

As COP30 begins in Belém, Brazil, the Paris Agreement faces its most difficult test yet — rising emissions, record heat, and geopolitical divisions that threaten the future of global climate cooperation

Greek ministers and executives hailed new partnerships and rising investment interest, projecting confidence about the country’s energy future

The latest Lancet report shows heat-related deaths rising 23% since the 1990s, with climate change driving extreme temperatures, wildfires, and food insecurity worldwide

“Our partnership with Harvard and Professor Smets paves the way for a cooler, more resilient city,” Athens Mayor Haris Doukas said.

In addition to record increases in CO2 levels, methane and nitrous oxide – the second and third most significant long-lived greenhouse gases – also set new emission records in 2024.

At the top of the risk list is Sveti Stefan in Montenegro — the postcard-perfect islet resort linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway.

"As we approach COP30 in Brazil, Europe must lead with an integrated vision that unites decarbonization and resilience, ensuring no region or community is left behind."- Phoebe Koundouri

A global team of 160 researchers says tropical coral reefs have likely crossed a catastrophic tipping point, threatening marine life and millions of people who depend on them

"Rapid ocean warming, acidification, sea level rise, and plastics currently affect all ocean basins", including the Mediterranean Sea - OSR9

Rising ocean acidity could erode sharks’ teeth and skin, making them weaker and less efficient swimmers, researchers warn.
