ECB’s virtue signalling on climate is better than nothing
The European Central Bank will next year start to apply climate risk factors to corporate bonds it accepts as repo collateral
Under a complicated formula, bonds at high risk from future climate shocks — deriving from their sector, the individual company’s efforts to reduce emissions and their maturity — will be subject to more severe haircuts

Shifting environmental conditions – from wildfires, flooding, and air pollution – can have far-reaching impacts on people’s lives as well as the burden of TB. For communities already facing socioeconomic and healthcare inequities, this makes disease spread and access to vital diagnostics and treatment all the more challenging

Earth Monitoring AI Models Are Getting Smarter, But Climate Change Is Moving Faster
AI boosts climate monitoring accuracy
The data is growing faster than the infrastructure
What this means for the planet’s future
AI is being used to process vast amounts of satellite imagery to monitor climate change, but analysis is falling behind the speed of data collection. Can AI learn fast enough to save the planet?

Micro refugia could be key to survival of insect populations

Decades of rising temperatures combined with longer and more severe droughts have created ideal conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread
Burnt areas respond much faster to rain, as there is less vegetation to slow down the water. Wildfires also change the soil structure, often making it water-repellent. This means more water runs off the surface, erosion increases, and it takes less rain to trigger a flood
