UK approves Jackdaw gas field despite environmental concerns and limited economic benefit
The UK government has approved the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea, despite serious concerns about its climate impact and the limited benefit it offers the country.
Waste plastics become molecular sponges that capture water from air
Plastic waste including old CDs, packaging and LEGO can be converted into materials used to capture moisture from the air. Researchers from the University of Vienna have converted the materials into polymer networks that uptake water even in dry climates and release it under moderate heating such as from sunlight.

COP31 puts AI on the agenda
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an extreme challenge facing climate change mitigation. While AI has the potential to support climate solutions, from improving energy efficiency to monitoring environmental changes, its rapid expansion also comes with significant environmental costs. At New York Climate Week, the President of COP31, Murat Kurum, promised that “climate responsibility” would be a priority at the conference, and that transitioning tech companies to power data centres with clean energy would be a key outcome.

El Niño continues to increase in severity just weeks ahead of COP31
El Niño is continuing to strengthen ahead of its peak in December, with scientists describing it as “unprecedented.” Combined with global warming, 2027 is expected to be one of the hottest years on record. With COP31 just around the corner, it is critical that strategies for adaptation to increasing global temperatures are determined.

New potential for mitigating climate change: blue pigment catalyst turns CO₂ directly into methane
Researchers in Japan say a low-cost catalyst could make carbon recycling more practical, as COP31 turns its attention to clean technology and implementation.
Climate change is already reshaping habitat for Europe’s bumblebees
Biodiversity loss has many drivers - overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change among them. But determining how much of the loss is from climate change alone has proven difficult. A new study by Belgian researchers, coordinated by the Spatial Epidemiology Lab and involving six universities, set out to quantify this for one of Europe's most important pollinator groups: bumblebees.
