The municipalities of Kloto 1, Golfe 1, and Golfe 7 in Togo have officially signed an innovative insurance policy aimed at strengthening their resilience against flooding.

Hydroacoustic signals captured by the world's international nuclear monitoring system suggest an underwater landslide may have broken communications cables and disrupted internet traffic in west African countries for several weeks in March 2024.

New UC research has highlighted the underestimated relevance of water velocity in flood evacuation planning, a danger highlighted by the flooding in Valencia in 2024.

The damage climate change will inflict on the world’s economy is likely to have been massively underestimated, according to new research which accounts for the full global reach of extreme weather and its aftermath.

Dying glaciers, record-breaking hurricanes and wildfires, debilitating drought and deadly floods scarred the socio-economic landscape of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2024, according to WMO.

A study from the University of Ottawa’s Human and Environmental Physiology Research Unit (HEPRU) has confirmed that the limits for human thermoregulation—our ability to maintain a stable body temperature in extreme heat—are lower than previously thought.

A new study reveals that the devastating 2023 flood in Derna, Libya, was not merely the result of extreme rainfall but was drastically intensified by a major design shortcoming and its resulting collapse of two embankment dams.

Fall Armyworm (FAW) is a serious insect pest in food and fibre crops, with different populations carrying varying genes for insecticide resistance. Further pest movement and gene flow could increase global resistance.

This special issue focuses on strategies emerging from regional dialogues. It highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration, early warning systems, nature-based cooling solutions, and inclusive governance.

This study maps how climate change-driven heatwaves, droughts, and air pollution disproportionately affect the poor in MENA, identifying hotspots in Yemen and Morocco. It uses high-res data to guide disaster risk management and resilience planning.
