We’ve added new country, regional and city level data to the Climate Risk Dashboard. Now users can explore the impact of climate change on glaciers, biodiversity and on the impacts of heat stress on people in urban areas.

The dashboard is an interactive online tool that allows you to compare climate impacts over different timeframes (from 2030, to 2050, to 2100), and in different scenarios i.e. what the world will look like if we implement current climate policies, compared with policies in line with limiting global mean temperatures to 1.5°C? The tool covers all countries in the world and around 140 cities.

For cities, you can now see data on labour productivity losses (lost working hours per year for intense, moderate or light activities from heat stress in cities), population exposure to heatwaves, how much air conditioning demand will rise in a city, and changes in the daily Heat Wave Magnitude Index.

Biodiversity data on the proportion of species at risk of local extinction is also now available for all countries in the tool. We’ve also added more data on fire risk, including the length of the fire season, the number of days with extreme fire weather and estimations of wildfire risk. Other new land-based measures include data on soil moisture content.

For all countries with glaciers, data on glacier area remaining, glacier volume remaining, and the thinning rate is now available.

The Climate Risk Dashboard is an output of the Horizon Europe funded PROVIDE project - a consortium of scientists and policy experts, working to develop new, faster ways to project climate impacts. The dashboard allows you to explore what impacts can still be avoided if we act swiftly today in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. It also illustrates what impacts may be reversible (or not) under so-called overshoot scenarios - where emissions would temporarily overshoot 1.5°C - before declining below it again by 2100.

We are hosting a webinar on the updates on July 3, 15:00 CEST.

Pre-monsoon heatwave in South Asia breaking records due to climate change

South and Southeast Asia are experiencing another record heatwave, with forecasts anticipating that the heatwave will continue in certain parts of the region before rain or cool winds bring a respite.

Proposed 2035 coal phase out date for the G7 too late to limit warming to 1.5°C

G7 Ministers have trailed a new commitment to phase out unabated coal in the first half of the 2030s. The proposed 2035 coal phase out date is too late to limit warming to 1.5°C, says Jane Ellis, Head of Climate Policy at Climate Analytics.

Climate change-fueled tropical cyclones have already reduced Filipino household incomes by 7%

Household incomes have dropped by 7% on average across the Philippines due to climate-driven tropical cyclones, according to a new peer-reviewed study. In some provinces such as Surigao del Norte, Maguindanao, Batangas and Cavite, tropical cyclones reduced household income by more than 20%.

Carbon capture and storage could unleash 86 billion tonne carbon bomb

A new analysis finds reliance on carbon capture and storage could release an extra 86 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere between 2020 and 2050.

Projected warming almost unchanged for two years as governments push false solutions over climate action

Despite their promises, governments have not taken enough action to drive down warming projections, with some instead turning to false solutions such as carbon capture and storage to continue the world's reliance on fossil fuels, according to the Climate Action Tracker's annual warming update.

All greenhouse gas emissions could peak in 2023

A new report finds maintaining current solar, wind and electric vehicle growth rates could lead to peak emissions in 2023.
