Extreme heat is creating a workplace health crisis in Bangladesh's garment industry

Rising temperatures in Bangladesh are creating an occupational health crisis for the 4.2 million workers in the country’s garment industry, reports Mongabay contributor Usraat Fahmidah.

Climate change is making the tropics hotter

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events. The paper, "Shifting climate in Caribbean tropical forests: Long-term trends at La Selva (Costa Rica) and El Verde (Puerto Rico)," is published in PLOS Climate.

Extreme heat no longer confined to summer, extending health risks, study finds

There was a time when, across large swathes of the world, the seasons fed into each other in a relatively predictable cycle of warmer and colder weather. In temperate nations, frigid winter thawed into spring. Spring bloomed into summer, where extreme heat beat down until cooler weather provided autumn’s relief. No longer. A recent study […]

Summer 2026 heat toll exceeded 50,000 deaths in European cities, analysis estimates

More than 50,000 heat-related deaths are estimated to have occurred in urban areas across Europe during summer 2026, with around two-thirds attributed to human-induced climate change, according to new research led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Imperial College London.

We must prepare entire cities for extreme heat. Our new study reveals how

In Australia, the days are growing longer and summer is fast approaching. But a very strong El Niño—a natural weather phenomenon that drives variations in temperature and winds across the Pacific—could make this summer a sweltering one.

Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.
