Methane is short-lived in the atmosphere. That makes it one of the most powerful levers available right now - cut it quickly, and warming slows within a generation. Read more here: www.ccag.earth/reports/prot...

South Africa's move away from coal isn't just a climate decision, it's a public health one. CCAG Chair Sir David King makes the case in Daily Maverick. Read the piece: www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/...

The east coast of the UK is eroding more quickly than expected, forcing homes to be demolished and raising questions on the nuclear plant at Sizewell. Sir David King spoke with ITV News about the challenge and a need for a robust protection plan at Sizewell C to ensure its long-term viability.

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. Read Prof. Mark Maslin in The Conversation: theconversation.com/four-ways-to...

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. Find the full piece in the comments.

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. A holistic approach is the only one that works: www.edie.net/sir-david-ki...

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...

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.

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.

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. Read the full report here: greenfuturessolutions.com/news/recalib...

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.

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.

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...

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.

The Paris Agreement is our most powerful global tool for tackling rising temperatures. As Sir David King writes on its tenth anniversary: “Science gives us a clear strategy to return to safety.” www.ccag.earth/news/ten-yea...

The results are in: the world’s oceans absorbed more heat in 2025 than in any year since modern records began. Our oceans are the Earth’s greatest heat shield - absorbing more than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases.

2025 brought quiet but meaningful wins: renewables overtook coal, the High Seas Treaty came into force, Amazon deforestation fell, and courts worldwide held polluters to account. Each is proof that progress is possible – yet the scale of the challenge still demands much more.

David King, chemist: ‘There are scientists studying how to cool the planet; nobody should stop these experiments from happening’

The British researcher is calling for global regulations to test extreme measures against climate change, such as marine cloud brightening over the Arctic

“Perhaps the greatest failure of the last 10 years has been finance.” In an interview with TIME, Sir David King explores the successes and shortcomings of the Paris Agreement, and what we must do now to accelerate climate action. Read the full interview: time.com/7340848/pari...

At COP30 in Belém, Brazil, CCAG Chair Sir David King joined the Climate Emergency Forum to discuss the need for a new phase of climate action. Watch the full discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v27...

“All his [Mark Carney] clear statements while running the Bank of England, telling global banks to stop investing in new fossil fuel recovery to avoid creating stranded assets, seem now to have evaporated. It is, so far, extremely disappointing.”

As 2025 draws to a close, CCAG’s Mariana Mazzucato, Arunabha Ghosh and Sir David King reflect on the major learnings and takeaways from the COP30 summit. Read the full blog: www.ccag.earth/news/the-sun...

“The Paris Agreement was never meant to solve the climate crisis in a single moment. It was designed to change direction.” - Sir David King, Chair of the CCAG
