Air pollution increases the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Addressing it requires sustained action across multiple sectors, including transport, industry, household fuels and waste management.

India has scored just 2 out of 32 in a global assessment of how countries integrate health into climate action plans. The findings raise concerns about air pollution, extreme heat and the need to protect public health as climate risks intensify.

The Commission considers these threats catastrophic because of the scale of potential health losses and the possibility of taking meaningful action to reduce them.

Nuclear war and the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) could put the future of humanity at risk, a new report stated.

Lower vaccination coverage and international travel can lead to measles outbreaks, whereas warmer conditions and changes in rainfall patterns can affect mosquito populations and increase the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Here are the reasons that's driving the current outbreaks.

The findings come as Antarctica continues to lose ice amid changing environmental conditions.

From changing ocean currents to extreme weather, scientists are watching a combination of climate signals that could influence temperatures, rainfall and ecosystems in the months ahead.

The researchers suggest that the "alarming declines" should lead to chinstrap penguins being redesignated as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

For October-November-December, the anomaly is forecast to reach approximately 3.7 degrees Celsius above normal due to El Nino.

El Nino warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, bringing worldwide changes in winds, pressure and rainfall patterns.

Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 collection embraced lightweight fabrics and fluid silhouettes, with Nicolas Ghesquiere citing climate change as key inspirations

Ocean currents and global weather systems are deeply interconnected. Scientists warn that a weakening AMOC directly impacts the Indian Summer Monsoon.

The Great Indian Bustard itself represents a stark reminder of what is at stake. Once widespread across India's grasslands and deserts, the species now survives in fragmented and highly vulnerable populations.

Seven of Earth's nine planetary boundaries have now been breached, with scientists warning that growing pressure on climate, biodiversity, freshwater and other natural systems is increasing the risk of irreversible environmental changes.

The accelerated glacier melt could have ripples across the continent because Switzerland, the water tower of Europe, feeds some of its most important rivers - the Danube, Po, Rhine and Rhone.

In a new analysis covering the first eight months of 2026, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) highlighted the close relationship between climate change and air pollution.

"Where are the United Nations?" Alexandra Hill Tinoco, the foreign minister of El Salvador, asked Monday. "Do we have an organisation that is still relevant?"

Dr DP Dobhal, former senior scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, told NDTV that Himalayan glaciers receive snow during both the monsoon and winter seasons.

United Nations experts have predicted an exceptionally strong cycle of the El Nino climate phenomenon, which causes global changes in winds and rainfall.

Balendra Shah said the mechanism should be used to share satellite data and expertise to monitor dangerous glacial lakes.

While addressing the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump termed previous calls about AI warnings a "globalist scheme" and compared them to warnings about climate change, whose human causes are affirmed by the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community.

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the same mountain in 2015 could have played a role by weakening the underlying bedrock as well, but its precise impact is unclear.

The 'Net Zero Portal' serves as a centralised digital platform for entities across sectors to register and publicly disclose their net zero strategies.

India had the highest number of people exposed to at least 30 days of risky heat added by climate change this summer.
