Climate Change

A new report calls for accessible, reliable climate data to drive effective greenhouse gas reduction strategies.

A Stanford study finds that intensifying heat and atmospheric dryness have reduced yields of the world’s five major crops by 4–13% over the past half century.

New research finds that tropical cyclones reduce years of schooling for children in low- and middle-income countries, underscoring the need to address the educational impacts of climate change.

Stanford researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

Stanford research focused on the large-scale movements of the Antarctic ice sheet could help improve predictions about how the continent will change in the future.

Researchers at Stanford, Cornell, and the University of Maryland estimate the public sector investment needed to reverse course on a climate-induced slowdown in agricultural productivity.

At an event for the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability Dean’s Lecture series, professors Rob Jackson and Leif Wenar explored an ethical framework for addressing climate solutions – and shared a vision of hope.

Stanford researchers find resistance to climate action has become a global movement that strengthens after governments implement climate-related policies.

Between 1997 and 2024, endangered North Pacific loggerhead sea turtles shifted their foraging northward at a rate six times faster than the average for most marine species. The turtles face risks as they adapt to ocean warming caused by climate change.

Artificial intelligence provides new evidence that rapid decarbonization will not prevent warming beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius. The hottest years of this century are likely to shatter recent records.
