Climate Change Act 2008
The Climate Change Act 2008 is a UK law setting legally binding greenhouse gas emissions targets, five-yearly carbon budgets, and the Committee on Climate Change.
Climate change adaptation
Climate change adaptation, also known as adaptation to climate change, is the adjustment of human or natural systems to climate impacts such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, and sea level rise.
Climate change art
Climate change art is visual art addressing the causes, evidence, and projected consequences of a warming planet, spanning painting, installation, video, performance, and simulation, and melding science, aesthetics, and politics.
Climate Change Committee
The Climate Change Committee is the UK's independent statutory body, created by the Climate Change Act 2008, advising on emissions targets and reporting progress to Parliament.
Climate change denial
Climate change denial, also called global warming denial, is the rejection or dismissal of climate science, often funded by fossil fuel interests and now increasingly shifted toward blocking climate solutions.
Climate change education
Climate change education, also called climate education, is teaching that equips people to understand the causes and consequences of climate change and act on that understanding.
Climate change in Africa
Climate change in Africa is warming the continent at about 0.3 °C per decade, faster than the global average, though Africa contributes only about 3.8 percent of global emissions.
Climate change in Australia
Climate change in Australia is the observed and projected warming from human greenhouse gas emissions: 1.51 °C since 1910, drier southern cool seasons, and more extreme fire weather.
Climate change in Bangladesh
Climate change in Bangladesh is the set of climate-driven risks facing one of the world's most vulnerable countries, a low-lying delta exposed to cyclones, flooding, and sea-level rise.
Climate change in China
Climate change in China describes the world's largest annual emitter, responsible for over one-third of global CO₂ emissions, and its goal of carbon neutrality before 2060.
Climate change in East and Southeast Asia
Climate change in East and Southeast Asia is the warming affecting China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and ASEAN nations, intensifying heatwaves, floods, monsoon disruption, and glacier melt.
Climate change in Europe
Climate change in Europe is the set of observed and projected changes to the continent's climate, their impacts, and policy responses; Europe has warmed about 2.4 °C since pre-industrial times, about twice the global rate.
Climate change in India
Climate change in India is the observed and projected change in the country's climate and its impacts. India is the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter, with 2024 the warmest year on record there.
Climate change in music and performance
Climate change in music and performance is the body of songs, classical works, concerts, and activist events engaging with global heating, plus the music industry's own emission reductions.
Climate change in North and Central America
Climate change in North and Central America is warming faster than the global average in the north, while Central America faces drying, drought, and climate migration.
Climate change in popular culture
Climate change in popular culture, also called global warming in culture, is the presence of climate themes in fiction, film, television, and games, including the cli-fi literary genre.
Climate change in Russia
Climate change in Russia (Global warming in Russia) involves observed and projected climatic changes across the Russian Federation, with temperatures rising 3.7 times faster than the global mean.
Climate change in South America
Climate change in South America is the warming and altered rainfall, glaciers, and rivers across the continent, with warming faster than the global average and risks to water, food, and coasts.
Climate change in South Asia
Climate change in South Asia is the warming, shifting monsoons, melting Himalayan glaciers, and rising seas affecting India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.
Climate change in the Arctic
Climate change in the Arctic is the long-term warming of the region north of roughly 60°N, which is heating faster than anywhere else on Earth.
Climate change in the Middle East and North Africa
Climate change in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is amplified warming and severe water stress; the region warmed at 0.45°C per decade, nearly twice the global rate.
Climate change in the Netherlands
Climate change in the Netherlands brings heat, drought, heavy rainfall, and sea level rise to a country where about a third of the land lies below sea level.
Climate change in the United States
Climate change in the United States, also known as global warming in the United States, describes observed warming, droughts, and sea level rise affecting every region of the country.
Climate change litigation
Climate change litigation, also called climate lawsuits, uses courts to force emissions cuts, compensation, or stronger climate policies, growing from 884 cases in 2017 to over 3,000 by 2025.
Climate change mitigation
Climate change mitigation is action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming, through carbon pricing, clean energy deployment, emissions cuts by sector, and carbon removal.
Climate Change Response Act
The Climate Change Response Act 2002 is New Zealand's principal climate change statute, establishing the emissions trading scheme, the Climate Change Commission, and the legislated 2050 emissions reduction target.
Climate classification
Climate classification is the division of Earth's climates into regions of relative homogeneity in temperature and precipitation, dominated by the Köppen-Geiger system's five classes and used in ecology, agriculture, and model evaluation.
Climate club
A climate club is a coalition of countries that coordinate climate policy and apply benefits or trade penalties, making membership more attractive than free-riding on others' emission reductions.
Climate debt
Climate debt is the claim that countries that have emitted more than a fair per-capita share of greenhouse gases owe compensation to those harmed by climate change.
Climate Feedback
Climate Feedback is a network of scientists that reviews the credibility of viral climate claims in media and social media, founded by Emmanuel Vincent in 2014.
