Republished - 10 New Insights in Climate Science for 2025
10 New Insights in Climate Science for 2025 Land-based carbon sinks are reaching critical limits, heat stress is driving a sharp decline in labor productivity, and rising temperatures are worsening outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases. These are a few of the latest insights emerging from research that are highlighted in this year’s 10 New Insights in Climate Science report. A joint initiative of Future Earth, The Earth League, and the World Climate Research Programme, the report synthesizes the most significant advances in climate research over the past 18 months into ten clear takeaways for policymakers. Launched today by more than 70 globally renowned scientists from 21 countries, the annual reports warns that weaker land sinks, especially forests and soils in the Northern Hemisphere, threaten to derail today’s emissions projections while accelerating global warming. Even the ocean, another vital sink for carbon and heat, is soaking up less carbon d...
