When species are subjected to changing environments, they can survive in their current location through genetic adaptation. #univie Biomathematician @polejit.bsky.social shows that, even when environmental change is only gradual, there is a tipping point beyond which adaptation can suddenly fail. ⤵️

Environmental change may lead to a sudden collapse of species' ranges

Mathematical analysis reveals limits to adaptation to changing environments with implications for nature conservation

Today is Earth Overshoot Day 2025 🌍 A day to raise awareness that global resources are limited - and that our choices today determine our #planet's liveability for #future generations 💦 🌱 ☀️ overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/newsroom/pre... #EarthOvershootDay #Anthropocene

Earth Overshoot Day over time

July 24th is Earth Overshoot Day this year. Carbon emissions continue to be the largest contributor pushing the Ecological Footprint further above the planet’s annual budget

overshoot.footprintnetwork.org

The United Nations’ highest judicial body ruled that nations must prevent environmental harm and limit greenhouse gas emissions. The nonbinding decision pressures countries to fulfill climate pledges and opens doors for global climate cases.

U.N. court rules countries have duty to limit greenhouse emissions

The court was asked to rule on whether nations are obligated under international law to protect the Earth’s climate from planet-warming emissions.
