NASA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have released a guide that provides resources for adapting to and mitigating impacts of climate change. The guide, Building Alliances for Climate Action, includes various perspectives, stories, insights, and resources about climate change to help individuals and organizations make informed decisions.
The leading cause of coral bleaching is rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Although runoff and pollutants, sunlight, and low tides can impact coral, those impacts normally occur near the shoreline in shallow waters.
Test your knowledge of global temperature change and its impact on Earth's climate.
The WMO State of the Global Climate report 2022 focuses on key climate indicators – greenhouse gases, temperatures, sea level rise, ocean heat and acidification, sea ice and glaciers. It also highlights the impacts of climate change and extreme weather. Drought, floods and heatwaves affect large parts of the world and the costs are risingGlobal mean temperatures for the past 8 years have ...

Major Science Organization’s Claim Climate Change Might Increase Mental Illness, Suicide Has More Craters Than Moon
If temperatures continue to rise, by the end of the century, Delaware’s climate could resemble that currently experienced in the Carolinas. Today, the impacts of climate change can already be seen and ...
Over that period, average global sea level has: Sea level is a global climate change indicator. Through continuous long-term measurements of global sea level, scientists can see the ocean’s role in climate and the effects of a changing climate on the ocean. Since 1993, global mean sea level has risen by about 4 inches (10 centimeters).
Clouds and aerosols are two of the most important, but least understood, aspects of climate change. How much do you know about them?

Supplement: State of Climate Services 2024Supplement: Significant Weather & Climate Events 2024The clear signs of human-induced climate change reached new heights in 2024, which was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average.This is the warmest year in the 175 ...
Climate change is the term used to describe changes in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the average and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer.
Geneva, Switzerland (WMO) – The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and melting of ice, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds ...
The WMO Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update (2025–2029) projects that global temperatures are expected to continue at or near record levels in the next five years, increasing climate risks and impacts on societies, economies and sustainable development.The report forecasts that the annually averaged global mean near-surface temperature for each year between 2025 and 2029 is predicted to ...
Copernicus Climate Change Service and the World Meteorological Organization have issued their second joint annual report on the European State of the Climate.

A global survey of young people aged 16 to 25 found that 84% are at least moderately worried about climate change, and nearly half say it negatively affects their daily lives. (Dana DiFilippo | New ...
Most conversations about climate change focus on what's being lost: coastlines, glaciers, habitable zones. But there's a quieter, more practical question gaining traction among researchers, urban ...
A large amount of physical evidence shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the single most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere controlling Earth's temperature. This is because CO2, like ozone, N2O, CH4, and chlorofluorocarbons, does not condense and precipitate from the atmosphere at current climate temperatures, whereas water vapor can and does.
Earth has many processes that regulate carbon, atmospheric carbon dioxide and its role in the carbon cycle and climate. How much do you know?
Climate is the average weather conditions for a particular location over a long period of time, ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. WMO uses a 30-year period to determine the average climate.
