A reservoir can be 60% full yet face very different supply risks depending on usable storage, inflows, demand, operating rules and the time of year.
Reflective roofs can reduce solar heat gain in tropical cities, but they do not remove humidity or replace ventilation, insulation and reliable cooling.
Wind and solar can be available yet deliberately reduced. Here is how congestion, system security and market design create curtailment—and what reduces it.
A practical guide to the three integrity tests that determine whether a carbon credit represents a real, durable and uniquely claimed climate benefit.
Mangroves can reduce waves, slow water and stabilise sediment, but their protective effect depends on the coast. Learn what they can do, where limits begin and how to evaluate a…
Climate change affects the systems people depend on—from electricity and food to water and healthy ecosystems. Start with the causes, follow the evidence, and explore the responses.
The climate crisis describes the growing risks associated with human-driven climate change. Burning coal, oil and gas, alongside changes in land use, releases greenhouse gases that warm the planet. The consequences extend beyond temperature, affecting rainfall, oceans, ice and ecosystems.
The risks are not the same everywhere. Where people live, the infrastructure available to them and their access to resources all influence how they experience a changing climate.

Scientists compare surface temperatures, ocean observations, atmospheric measurements and changes in ice. Looking across these records helps distinguish long-term climate change from short-term weather.
A photograph can illustrate a place and time. Understanding a trend requires measurements across years, with clear methods and a stated reference period. Our evidence guide explains how to read those records and the claims made about them.
Read the climate evidence →Extreme heat, changing rainfall and coastal hazards raise different questions for cities, farms and coastal communities. A useful local assessment considers both the physical hazard and who or what is exposed to it.
For cities, that includes shade, building design and access to cooling. For farmers, it includes water availability and reliable irrigation. For coastal communities, sea-level rise and ocean warming create challenges that depend on local conditions. Our explainers connect these issues to evidence and practical decisions, without treating one regional average as a prediction for every place.
Climate responses involve cutting emissions and preparing for impacts. Personal choices matter alongside the energy systems, transport networks, business decisions and public policies that shape the options available.
Understand energy use, reduce avoidable waste and consider efficiency when equipment needs replacing.
Explore home actions →Review regular journeys and compare transport choices that fit your needs, safety and local infrastructure.
Explore transport choices →Work with others on local projects with clear goals. Ask how proposed changes will be measured and who benefits.
Find ways to get involved →Businesses and governments also shape investment, buildings and public services. When assessing a climate commitment, ask what it covers, when it will happen and how progress will be checked.
Browse practical climate actions →A carbon footprint estimates greenhouse gas emissions associated with an activity, product, person or organisation. Its meaning depends on the boundaries, data and assumptions behind the calculation. Use an estimate to identify questions and track changes—not as a complete account of your influence.
Understand your carbon footprint →ClimateCrisis.net publishes source-linked articles and explainers. Publication dates show when an article appeared; they do not mean every study it discusses is new.
