First CLIMADA seminar “Why is my 1m resolution coastal flood data yielding near 0 building impacts ? A journey with data too coarse for your own good." by Dr. Samuel Juhel on the 21.01.26 at 14:30 (Zurich time)!

Zoom link will be shared over our mailing list. Registration at www.climada.ethz.ch .

🌍 You don’t need to be a climate scientist to shape the future of our planet!
You need curiosity, perspective, and willingness to collaborate.

🧩Climate risk isn’t just numbers, it’s societies, ecosystems,
decisions, narratives, uncertainty, and the futures we imagine.

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping? YouTube video by Earth System Analysis - Potsdam Institute

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping?
Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki.
Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

Assessments of government action on climate change—and public desire for climate action—should always explicitly consider how much cajoling and lobbying and pressure from oil and gas there is to do nothing.

This is a fight; not (just) a technological transition.

New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago.
Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas.

Congratulations to #IPCC Bureau Member, @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social on the German Environmental Award from German Federal Environmental Foundation - the first Swiss national to win the prestigious €500K Award. A powerful recognition of her global impact in land-climate science. 🌍👏 #ETHZurich

Today, the UNFCCC released its #SynthesisReport, reviewing climate plans from 64 countries. Countries representing 64% of global emissions still have not formally submitted new #NDCs.

Our global study on the state of trust in scientists is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🥳

With a team of 241 researchers, we surveyed 71,922 people in 68 countries, providing the largest dataset on trust in scientists post-pandemic 👇🧵https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-024-02090-5

Modelling marine heatwaves impact on shallow and upper mesophotic tropical coral reefs - IOPscienceSearch Modelling marine heatwaves impact on shallow and upper mesophotic tropical coral reefs, Nicolas Colombi, Chahan M Kropf, Friedrich A Burger, David N Bresch, Thomas L Frölicher

New study explores how marine heatwaves contribute to coral bleaching. While deeper coral reefs are often viewed as potential refuges from climate change, we suggest they often experience higher thermal stress and bleaching levels compared to shallow reefs iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Reversal of the impact chain for actionable climate information - Nature Geoscience Providing actionable climate information requires an end-user focused approach that links specific local climate risk thresholds with global emissions pathways.

People need to plan for climate risks. The research is there, but the usability for stakeholders can be limited. We introduce the reversal of the impact chain approach for actionable climate information that allows linking local risk levels directly to GHG emission. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

🚨 Important paper in Nature: "Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors".

This study is based on a great collaboration of our #TISP consortium and @simonameiler.bsky.social, Chahan Kropf, @samluethi.bsky.social and David N. Bresch (@ethz.ch). @colognaviktoria.bsky.social and I joined forces with them to combine our worldwide survey data with their climate modelling data 🤝

What if companies disclosed climate risk the same way insurers analyze it: with event-based probabilistic models that show what could happen, when, and with what likelihood?
