The starting point for our latest report is a simple but often overlooked truth: our health is shaped long before we get to see a doctor.
CCAG member Prof. Mark Maslin sets out why we cannot treat health & climate as separate conversations in his provoking foreword: www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...
A win for climate action is always a win for health — cleaner air, safer homes, cooler cities, food systems that actually feed people. Not side effects. That's what success looks like.

Climate change is a public health emergency — not a distant threat. Heatwaves, polluted air, floods, food insecurity. Yet health is still treated as an afterthought in climate policy. Our new report argues it should be the organising principle. www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...
In a byline for BusinessGreen, Mariana Mazzucato argues that to tackle climate change and economic inequality, countries must collaborate on consensus-building mechanisms - such as binding agreements on technology transfer, green finance, and shared innovation.

320 billion. That is what extreme weather cost the global economy in 2024 alone .In edie.net, our chair explains that businesses cannot afford half-measures.

Our Chair Sir David King contributed the foreword to UoE’s Parasol Lost report - warning that we may be nearing a "break glass" moment: greenfuturessolutions.com/wp-content/u...
As one of the planet’s key climate regulators, a changing AMOC can have a significant impact both on the environment and humanity.
Watch the full conversation to learn more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YKb... and watch Channel 4’s report here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpOp...
Channel 4 has highlighted growing scientific concern that the AMOC is weakening.
In our climate conversation, Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf explains the AMOC, a system of ocean currents moving heat northward through the Atlantic and helping to shape the climate in Europe and across the Atlantic basin.
The US administration has revoked the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding - the foundation for federal climate regulation.
This decision comes despite the overwhelming evidence of the economic, climate and public health harms of pollution. CCAG experts Alice Hill and Tessa Hill share their thoughts.
Our report shows how Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) can do just that using climate action as a roadmap for economic resilience and shared prosperity: www.ccag.earth/reports/ndcs...
The UN Secretary-General warns that today’s economic model rewards damage, not wellbeing, as GDP can rise even as we deplete the natural systems we depend on.
If we’re to build real prosperity, we need new measures of success that value wellbeing, equity, and the planet itself.
Malaria is just one part of a growing health crisis driven by climate change. CCAG experts discussed the full picture in 2023: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhMw...
Rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns could cause an additional 123m cases of Malaria across Africa – adding to a death toll that already exceeds 600,000 per year (according to World Health Organisation figures).
Today, a new report from University of Exeter and Carbon Tracker shows how the economic models used by governments, central banks and investors are increasingly understating risks as we head toward 2°C.

Our recent report outlines practical, proven solutions for tackling waste emissions. Read more: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...
Landfill emissions could present a serious threat to legally-binding goals to reach net zero emissions in the EU and UK, and the main barriers to action are not rooted in technology or finance, but a lack of political will, regulation, and enforcement.
The EU and the UK are set to send 1.9 billion tonnes of municipal waste to landfill between 2022 and 2050, generating an estimated 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent methane emissions.
Watch our climate conversation on the causes and consequences of record-breaking ocean temperatures - and what must happen next: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iclx...
Oceans hit by climate change are driving up the real cost of carbon pollution - nearly doubling its impact on society, according to new research.
The impacts won’t be felt equally: islands and small economies will be hit hardest due to their reliance on seafood and nutrition.
To protect both nature and people, we must act now to cut emissions and build economies that thrive within planetary boundaries.
Watch our climate conversation on planetary boundaries where we dive into their critical role in our planet's resilience: www.youtube.com/watch?v=upLQ...
Whales in the North Atlantic are adapting to a changing ocean: eating less krill and more fish as warming waters disrupt food supplies. A powerful reminder that even the planet’s largest species are being forced to adjust to human-driven change.
2025 was the third hottest year on record – the result of continued greenhouse gas emissions.
Methane has driven a third of the warming we’re seeing and our latest report explains why methane abatement is one of the most effective actions we can take now: www.ccag.earth/reports/meth...
As CCAG Chair Sir David King notes, avoiding “planetary insolvency” will require urgent, policy-led action grounded in up-to-date risk assessments and willingness to tackle root causes.

The report argues that global temperatures are accelerating faster than predicted, as the temporary ‘aerosol cooling’ effect from air pollution - which has masked around 0.5°C of warming at a significant health and environmental cost - diminishes as pollution is reduced.
Policymakers and financial institutions are underestimating climate risks that could destabilise the global financial system, the Parasol Lost report from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and University of Exeter warns.
