Causes : la capacité des énergies renouvelables augmente rapidement, mais la quantité de charbon brûlée n'a jamais été aussi élevée qu'en 2024. | Les membres de l'ONU ont fixé des objectifs de réduction des émissions de méthane. Ils sont en retard sur ces objectifs. | L'industrie de la viande nuit davantage au climat que celle du pétrole et du gaz. | Aux États-Unis, les banques ne sont plus tenues de déclarer leurs risques climatiques, et au monde, aucune grande banque ne s'est encore engagée à cesser de financer de nouveaux projets pétroliers, gaziers et charbonniers.
Impacts : élévation record du niveau de la mer | Moustiques en Islande pour la première fois | De moins en moins de neige en Suisse.
Politique : les États-Unis empêchent la fixation d'objectifs d'émissions pour le transport maritime | Les projets gaziers de l'Allemagne remettent en question ses ambitions climatiques | Pourquoi les démocrates américains ne parlent plus du climat.
Par ailleurs : « Il est important de renouer le débat sur le climat par le biais des imaginaires », déclare Colin Pahlisch. | S’inspirer du vivant pour repenser notre rapport au monde et à la société : le philosophe Olivier Hamant | Les techno-capitalistes pensent que l'innovation peut sauver la planète. Mais c'est cette même façon de penser qui nous a menés là où nous en sommes aujourd'hui.
