Tropical forests in the Americas are struggling to keep pace with climate change

A study led by the University of Oxford reveals that tropical forests across the Americas are not adapting quickly enough to climate change. Tropical rainforests play a vital role in global climate regulation and biodiversity conservation. However, a major new study led by Dr. Jesús Aguirre-Gutiérrez from the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI)…

Accelerating carbon dioxide release from rocks in Arctic Canada with global warming

Accelerating carbon dioxide release from rocks in Arctic Canada with global warming

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford have shown that the weathering of rocks in the Canadian Arctic will accelerate with rising temperatures, triggering a positive feedback loop that will release more and more CO2 into the atmosphere For sensitive regions such as the Arctic, where surface air temperatures are…
Effectiveness of 1,500 global climate policies ranked for first time

Effectiveness of 1,500 global climate policies ranked for first time

New research has revealed that the world can take a major step toward meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Accord by focusing on 63 cases where climate policies have had the most impact. The findings have been published today in Science. The study, led by Climate Econometricians at the University of Oxford, the Potsdam Institute…

Inside the realm of forest resilience amid climate challenges

Inside the realm of forest resilience amid climate challenges

Researching how forests react to climate change can help improve strategies for their adaptation and conservation – the EU-funded project ASFORCLIC is working towards this goal In our ever-evolving world, the forestry sector has to overcome various challenges, mainly related to climate and socio-economic changes. Forest decline has serious consequences: biodiversity loss, reduced carbon sequestration,…
Scientists develop framework to measure plastic emissions

Scientists develop framework to measure plastic emissions

A model developed by researchers at U of T and the Rochester Institute of Technology suggests that Toronto emitted nearly 4,000 tonnes of plastic pollution in one year alone Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a framework for measuring plastic pollution emissions – not unlike the global standard for measuring greenhouse gas emissions.…
Enforce net zero with global ‘ground rules,’ say Oxford academics

Enforce net zero with global ‘ground rules,’ say Oxford academics

Academics at the University of Oxford have called for rigorous net zero ‘ground rules’ – encompassing laws, regulation and policy – to be implemented and enforced across the world, in an article published in Nature Climate Change yesterday 'Climate pledges are not backed up by the necessary action. This ‘implementation gap’ illustrates the limits of voluntary action.…
