Here's an idea: let's look at climate change risks at the city-level and in particular on cultural heritage.

The planet just got incredibly close to breaching landmark global warming target The target of the 2015 Paris Agreement was to keep global temperatures to less than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. In February, the planet was just 0.1C shy of that.

February was 1.49C above pre-industrial levels—just 0.1C shy of the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C threshold. Every fraction of a degree raises climate risks and costs.

For insurers, climate change is just the tip of the iceberg Insurance companies' warnings are making true believers of home insurance policyholders, who face higher prices and shrinking coverage

Insurance pricing now reflects climate reality. Floods, fires, and heatwaves drive higher premiums, shrinking coverage, and rising household risk. This investigation shows how insurers quantify climate damage.

A melting Greenland is easier to exploit — but also more perilous Climate change is opening previously inaccessible land and sea to development and shipping, boosting global interest in Greenland.

Melting ice is reshaping Greenland, opening new shipping lanes and mineral access, while accelerating risk. Climate change is turning geopolitics, security, and Indigenous sovereignty into a high-stakes test case. What’s opening up is also breaking down.
