  • Faith as a driver of climate commitment

    The climate crisis is not just a physical but also an existential challenge. A new thesis in theology shows how religious faith can complement climate science. While the science often gives rise to climate anxiety, faith offers hope, meaning and motivation for continued action. The study is based on interviews with activists in Sweden and South Africa, from pastors to climate strikers.

  • Deaths in heatwaves are predictable

A new study shows that it is possible to make accurate forecasts of heat-related mortality about a week in advance. The forecasts could be used in heat warnings to protect vulnerable groups.
