  • The Guardian climate pledge 2025

    Since our 2024 climate pledge, there has been a global pushback against green progress. This update reflects the urgent and growing challenges facing our planet – and how the Guardian is more focused than ever on exposing the causes of the climate crisis

    • In the past three weeks, more than 50,000 Guardian readers have supported our annual environment support campaign. If you believe in the power of independent journalism, please consider joining them today

    The Guardian has long been at the forefront of agenda-setting climate journalism, and in a news cycle dominated by autocrats and war, we refuse to let the health of the planet slip out of sight.

    2024 was the hottest year on record, driving the annual global temperature above the internationally agreed 1.5C target for the first time

    Winter temperatures at the north polereached more than 20C above the 1991-2020 average in early 2025, crossing the threshold for ice to melt

    The planet’s remaining carbon budget to meet the international target of 1.5C has just two years left at the current rate of emissions

    Humans are driving biodiversity loss among all species across the planet, according to the largest syntheses of the human impacts on biodiversity ever conducted worldwide

    Tipping points – in the Amazon, Antarctic, coral reefs and more – could cause fundamental parts of the Earth’s system to change dramatically, irreversibly and with devastating effects. We asked the experts about the latest science – and how it makes them feel

    Published our annual company emissions data, explaining what drives our emissions and where they have risen and fallen

    Created a digital course, as part of an initiative by the Sustainable Journalism Partnership, sharing examples from experts across the Guardian of how to embed sustainability into journalism and media commercial operations

    Contributed our time and knowledge to working groups in the advertising industry that are working on better ways to measure the emissions impact of advertising

  • UN tries to limit staff going to Cop30 in Brazil due to high price of hotels

    Accommodation costs at climate summit in Belem are pricing out some developing countries and media outlets

    The United Nations has urged its staff to limit attendance at the Cop30 climate summit in Brazil in November due to high accommodation prices, while government delegations are still scrambling to find rooms within their budgets.

    The move comes as delegations grow increasingly concerned about the cost of accommodation in the coastal Amazon city of Belem hosting Cop30. Brazil said it was working to increase the number of available hotel beds, but soaring prices for accommodation have stoked calls from some governments to relocate the conference, which Brazilian officials have rejected.

  • Country diary: It’s hard not to fret over snails and their trails | Derek Niemann

    Frome, Somerset: For months they were there on the doormat, then they disappeared with the dryness, now they’re back, giving it the full spaghetti

    In the dead of night over many months, a visitor entered our kitchen and wrote in the wee small hours over the doormat. What to read into its silvery doodles other than “I was here, here and here”? I never crept downstairs to interrupt and spoil its mystery; never saw it or worked out how it came and went.

    Every night it came without fail, until one parched day of the droughty summer. Over the previous few nights, the kitchen trails of our slug or snail had grown thin, thready and shorter.

  • Weakening net zero policy ‘will spook investors’, warns UK’s climate adviser

    Nigel Topping says shifting course risks deterring capital, as he urges ministers to hold firm on green transition

    Weakening or changing net zero policy would deter investors and spook financial markets, the UK government’s new climate adviser has warned.

    Nigel Topping, recently appointed chair of the climate change committee (CCC), said there was “robust evidence” the UK would benefit economically from strong climate policy, despite calls from some politicians to back down.

  • ‘Pack plenty of blankets or towels’: how to start thrifting secondhand furniture

    DIY expert Jaharn Quinn has spent 20 years upcycling homewares. She shares where to look and what to bring when hunting for pre-loved pieces

    I have always loved thrifting and upcycling. There’s no greater feeling than discovering a hidden gem at a thrift shop and upcycling it into something new, especially when you save hundreds – sometimes thousands – of dollars.

    I love flipping through interior magazines, poring over gorgeous images on Pinterest and scrolling through home tours on social media.

    Compile your thrifting inventory. This should include the items you are especially looking for, such as a bedside table or a chest of drawers. It’s inevitable that you’ll get sidetracked – which is half the fun – but a list helps you focus when you start to feel overwhelmed, which sometimes happens.

    Always carry cash. It makes it easier to bargain.

    Pack plenty of blankets or towels in your car. These will protect the pieces you find and keep them cushioned from moving around in your vehicle too much.

    Pack a toolkit including antibacterial wipesto wipe down secondhand furniture, removing the dust and dirt to see what’s underneath; measuring tape to see what will fit in your car and home; a notebook filled with ideas, house plans and measurements plus a pencil to jot more down; paint swatches to check for colours that can easily be integrated into your home; and a screwdriver set in case you need to take furniture apart to fit it into your car.

  • Scientists claim they’ve made ‘pivotal step’ in bringing back the dodo for first time in 300 years

    Thousands of dodos could return within a decade according to Colossal Biosciences, a ‘de-extinction’ company – but experts warn of ‘moral hazard’

    Since its demise in the 17th century, the dodo has long been synonymous with extinction. But thousands of dodos could soon again populate Mauritius, the species’ former home, according to a “de-extinction” company that has announced a major breakthrough in its quest to resurrect the flightless bird.

    Colossal Biosciences said on Wednesday it has succeeded in growing pigeon primordial germ cells, precursor cells to sperm and eggs, for the first time. This is a “pivotal step” in bringing back the dodo, which was a type of pigeon, for the first time in more than 300 years, according to Colossal.

  • ‘A dolphin among sharks’: readers pay tribute to Robert Redford, a great movie star and decent human being

    People remember the human side of the ‘dazzling’ film star, who was kind and wise and lived a dignified life

    I met Bob in 1984 after he finished Out of Africa through a mutual friend in Malibu, and subsequently began to work for him and became friends. At that time he was establishing Sundance and distancing himself from Hollywood. He was a dolphin among sharks. He was the most kind and wise person one could ever know in this life.
