U tropskom Pacifiku nastaju El Niño uvjeti, kažu istraživači
ESNZ se pridružio drugim organizacijama u Australiji, Japanu i SAD-u u potvrđivanju razvoja El Niña, za koji se očekuje da će dostići snažan intenzitet između srpnja i rujna. Očekuje se da će učinci dostići vrhunac tijekom ljeta na južnoj hemisferi, koji se proteže krajem 2023. do početka 2024. Prema vodećem istraživaču Chrisu Brandoliniju, ovaj El Niño događaj je barem usporediv po snazi s pet najjačih El Niño zabilježenih u modernoj povijesti.
DeBriefed 3 July 2026: US faces scorching Independence Day | Record ocean temperatures | Vietnam’s EV surge
The article covers several climate-related developments. In the U.S., extreme heat disrupted Independence Day celebrations, with temperatures reaching record highs and power grids under strain. Similar heatwaves affected Western and Eastern Europe, leading to health alerts and increased mortality rates in countries like Spain, France, and the Netherlands. Ocean temperatures also hit record levels, raising concerns about worsening heatwaves and climate impacts. Globally, the World Bank has abandoned its target to allocate 45% of lending to climate projects, while China announced significant investment in energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, UK Labour leaders urged against expanding offshore oil drilling, and Canada's Prime Minister proposed a major oil pipeline project.
Third UK heatwave increasingly likely as 30C temperatures forecast
An upcoming heatwave in the UK is being predicted, with temperatures potentially reaching 30°C in parts of the southeast by the weekend. The Met Office reports that June 2026 was the warmest June on record for England and the second warmest for the UK overall. A high-pressure system from the Azores is moving toward the Iberian Peninsula, contributing to rising temperatures. While the UK typically declares a heatwave when temperatures meet specific regional thresholds—such as three consecutive days of 28°C in London and the southeast—the current conditions suggest the heatwave might begin earlier than usual. The UK Health Security Agency has issued heat health alerts for several regions, cautioning about risks to vulnerable individuals. Although the air is expected to be less humid compared to previous heatwaves, the potential for discomfort remains. Northern areas are unlikely to experience heatwave-level temperatures soon due to the influence of Atlantic air and possible rainfall.
Q&A: How will the World Bank’s abandoned finance goal affect climate action?
The World Bank has abandoned its previous target of allocating 45% of its funding to developing countries as 'climate finance,' under pressure from the U.S. government. However, the bank has retained its broader 'action plan' for addressing climate change. As the largest multilateral development bank, the World Bank provided $39.2 billion in climate-related financing in 2025, primarily through loans. While the specific 45% target was scrapped, the institution continues to prioritize climate-related investments, particularly in renewable energy and infrastructure projects in countries like India, Pakistan, and others. The decision reflects ongoing tensions between U.S. influence and efforts by both developed and developing nations to maintain ambitious climate goals.
Q&A: Where do the UN secretary general candidates stand on climate change?
This article discusses the upcoming nomination process for the United Nations Secretary-General, who will succeed António Guterres after his tenure ends in 2026. It highlights Guterres' advocacy for climate action during his time in office and notes his predecessor, Ban Ki-moon, who played a key role in negotiating the Paris Climate Agreement. The article outlines the roles and responsibilities of the UN Secretary-General, emphasizing their dual function as both a diplomatic figure and an advocate for global issues like climate change. Six candidates have already been nominated, with more expected. The piece provides background on the historical significance of the role and the importance of climate action within the UN framework.
Analysis: UK newspapers have already printed 63 editorials in 2026 backing North Sea drilling
Carbon Brief reports that UK newspapers have published 63 editorials in 2026 advocating for increased North Sea oil and gas drilling, marking a significant rise compared to previous years. The editorials, from outlets like the Sun, Daily Telegraph, and Times, argue that more drilling is needed to address an 'energy crisis' and criticize Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's 'net-zero crusade' for limiting fossil fuel production. The piece notes that North Sea production has been declining for decades, with roughly 90% of potential reserves already depleted. Despite this, right-leaning media continue to frame Labour's policies as 'self-destructive' and driven by 'green ideology.' Experts caution that extracting remaining reserves would have minimal impact on energy prices or security.
Cropped 1 July 2026: Heatwave scorches Europe | UK 2050 farm plan | What’s next for the High Seas Treaty
A severe heatwave has impacted agriculture and ecosystems across Europe, causing significant damage to livestock, crops, and natural environments. In France, hundreds of thousands of poultry died due to extreme heat, while in Belgium, heat stress affected cows and pigs, raising concerns about dairy and meat production. In the UK, government data revealed a doubling of animal deaths during transport to slaughterhouses in 2025 compared to 2024. Natural landscapes also suffered, including wildfires in Derbyshire and accelerated glacier melting in Switzerland. The UK government unveiled a 2050 farming roadmap aimed at making agriculture more climate-resilient, increasing food production, and restoring nature. However, critics argue the plan lacks sufficient action. Additionally, new measures were introduced to prevent illegal deforestation in supply chains, though some initiatives faced delays due to concerns over public perception.
Šest grafikona pokazuje kako je čista energija bila najveći svjetski izvor nove energije 2025.
U 2025. godini čista energija postala je najveći izvor nove energije na globalnoj razini, nadmašujući sve ostale izvore energije zajedno, prema Statističkom pregledu svjetske energije Instituta za energiju. Vjetar i sunce zajedno su činili više nove energije od bilo kojeg pojedinačnog fosilnog goriva, što je značajan pomak prema obnovljivoj energiji. Unatoč ovom napretku, fosilna goriva i dalje su osigurala 86,2% globalne primarne opskrbe energijom, iako je njihov gospodarski utjecaj manji zbog gubitaka energije tijekom izgaranja. Izvještaj ističe da, iako su svi izvori energije dostigli rekordne visine u 2025. godini, potražnja za električnom energijom porasla je za 3%, što je znatno brže od ukupne potrošnje energije, koja se povećala za 1,7%.
Pitanja i odgovori: Što se dogodi kada zagrijavajuće struje gurnu mlade losose izvan njihovih granica
Istraživači iz laboratorija za ekologiju i očuvanje pacifičkog lososa u UBC-u, u suradnji s Fisheries and Oceans Canada i Nacionalnim institutom za vodene resurse u Danskoj, proveli su ispitivanja plivanja kako bi ispitali kako mladi lososi reagiraju na zagrijavanje temperature vode. Studije su se usredotočile na mlade losose Chinook iz rijeke Nicola u Britanskoj Kolumbiji, uspoređujući dvije životne faze: fry (oko dva mjeseca) i parr (oko šest mjeseci).
Gostićki post: Klimatske promjene su prouzročile povlačenje jedne petine ledenjaka na Pine Islandu
Pine Island Glacier u zapadnom Antarktiku, jedan od glečera koji se najbrže mijenja na globalnom nivou, doživio je značajno povlačenje zbog erozije tople vode odozdo. Glacier doprinosi gotovo polovici porasta razine mora od topljenja antarktičkog ledenog pokrivača.
DeBriefed 26. lipnja 2026: Rekordi toplote oboreni diljem Europe.
Ovaj tjedan Europa je doživjela rekordne toplotne valove, a Velika Britanija je dvaput oborila svoj rekord u lipnju, a Francuska je zabilježila svoj najtopliji dan ikad u uzastopnim danima. Temperature su dosegle do 44,3 ° C u južnoj Francuskoj i 36,7 ° C u Somersetu u Velikoj Britaniji, što je dovelo do povećanja poziva u hitne slučajeve. Mediji, uključujući Guardian, BBC News i SwissInfo, izvijestili su o ovim ekstremnim uvjetima. Studija Svjetske službe za vremensku atribuciju povezala je ozbiljnost toplotnog vala s klimatskim promjenama uzrokovanim emisijama fosilnih goriva.
Q&A: What change of power in Colombia could mean for world’s fossil-fuel transition
Colombia, under the leadership of leftist President Gustavo Petro, had become a leading advocate for global transition away from fossil fuels, committing to halt new fossil fuel projects and promoting renewable energy. In April 2026, Colombia hosted a significant international meeting in Santa Marta with the Netherlands to advance this cause, resulting in the 'Santa Marta process.' However, in June 2026, Petro's ally lost the presidential election to Abelardo de la Espriella, a hard-right populist aligned with U.S. President Donald Trump, who supports boosting oil production and expanding fracking. This shift raises questions about Colombia's future role in global efforts to reduce fossil fuel dependence, particularly ahead of COP31 in Turkey.
Kineski brifing 25. lipnja 2026.: Petogodišnji planovi usvojeni. Kritične mineralne napetosti. Industrijski plan dekarbonizacije
Kina je objavila svoj 15. petogodišnji plan s ciljem izgradnje "novog tipa energetskog sustava", čiji je cilj 30% čiste energije u proizvodnji električne energije do 2030. godine, a vjetar i sunce postaju glavni temelj. Plan naglašava nadogradnju mreže kako bi se prilagodila distribuiranoj energiji i promovisalo tehnologije poput virtualnih elektrana i vodika, istovremeno jačajući ulogu ugljena kao rezervne.
