Anthropogenic climate change and the intensive use and destruction of natural ecosystems that underpin global biodiversity loss continue to worsen. In this regard, the climate crisis and biodiversity crisis are often viewed as two separate catastrophes. An international team of researchers call for adopting a new perspective

A new study from a global team, including, among others, the Basque Centre for Climate Change, Imperial College London, and the National Technical University of Athens, demonstrates that aggregating together all updated short- and long-term climate pledges is compatible with the Paris goal of limiting global temperature increase well-below 2°C.

La comunidad científica lleva tiempo preguntándose cómo cambió el clima de nuestro planeta hace 700.000 años, pasando de ciclos climáticos de 40.000 años de duración a los actuales de 100.000 años. Un nuevo estudio internacional publicado en la prestigiosa revista Nature Communications y en el que participa BC3 identifica un periodo glaciar “cálido” que habría permitido la acumulación de hielo necesaria para esta importante transición.

Humans are taking colossal risks with the future of civilization and everything that lives on Earth, a new study published in the journal Nature shows. Developed by an international science commission engaging more than 40 researchers from across the globe, the scientists deliver the first quantification of safe and just Earth system boundaries on a global and local level for several biophysical processes and systems that regulate the state of the Earth system.
