Wildfires are becoming a defining climate-related challenge. Their inclusion in the UNFCCC Loss & Damage framework is essential, researchers say.

Climate disinformation is delaying responses to extreme weather events & climate solutions

We’re demanding that governments commit to upholding information integrity as a non-negotiable for climate action. #COP30

Long-term monitoring tells a story of change. For 80 years scientists have monitored Windermere and nearby lakes in Cumbria, tracking how climate change and pollution are reshaping our freshwater ecosystems.

It’s one of the longest lake datasets anywhere in the world! 🌎

The 2024–2025 State of Wildfires report shows a paradox: less land burned, but record carbon released.

ECMWF scientists analysed what drove wildfire events and generated air-quality datasets.

🔥 Human-driven global warming made recent wildfires in South America & Southern California much larger & more destructive, the latest State of Wildfires report reveals.

🔸 LA wildfires 25× larger, 2× as likely
🔸 Pantanal–Chiquitano fires 35× larger
🔸 Global CO₂ from fires >8 bn tonnes

As we prepare for the Arctic Circle #Assembly2025 we're highlighting NOC's Arctic work.

🌡️ The Arctic may be ice-free in summer by 2050, with global impacts. 🌍

Projects like CANARI focus on how this affects extreme weather and the UK. 🇬🇧🌦️

It’s our research aircraft’s birthday this week!

It’s the oldest airliner still flying in the UK - albeit studying the atmosphere rather than carrying passengers ✈️

Since 2004, it's helped scientists to learn more about the Earth’s atmosphere, weather, climate change, and air pollution.

Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK.

It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884.
