2016-17 has been a great year for Australian farmers, with record production, exports and profits. These records have been driven largely by good weather, in particular a wet winter in 2016, which led to exceptional yields for major crops

President Trump, congressional Republicans and most American farmers share common positions on climate change

Last year in Paris, for the very first time, English sparkling wine beat champagne in a blind tasting event.

An ever-changing climate can put certain regions in the crosshairs of coastal flooding, heavy rain, erosion, and other risks.

African nations have overwhelmingly included climate resilient agriculture in their indicative pledges to the United Nations. And agriculture is seen as a major focus through a common position of the African Union on climate adaptation.

Conversations about climate change often derail into arguments about whether global warming exists, whether climate change is already happening, the extent to which human activity is a cause and which beliefs are based in evidence versus propaganda.

President Donald Trump has the environmental community understandably concerned.

Finding the optimum environment and avoiding uninhabitable conditions has been a challenge faced by species throughout the history of life on Earth.

In 2011, a marine heatwave hit the west coast of Australia leading to ten days of above average sea temperatures.

At the UN Climate Negotiations in Paris the world agreed to keep global warming to well below 2°C, above pre-industrial levels.

The soaring temperatures of recent hottest years on record will be the norm by 2040, with Australia first to feel the heat.

Educating rural communities can help them prevent permanent damage to the environment. There is a common misconception that you can’t talk about climate change in rural communities because the issue is considered too polarizing...

People depend on grass crops for food, but new research raises concerns that if climate changes too fast, grasses won’t adapt fast enough to keep pace.

Scientists show how humans can improve poor people’s lives by reversing practices that destroy the environment and fuel climate change.

With every passing year, Southeast Florida faces more pressure to adapt to climate change. The region already experiences the effects of climate change, such as flooding on sunny days during the highest tides of the year

Ecosystems are already showing the signs of climate change, from the recent death of mangrove forests in northern Australia, to the decline in birds in eastern Australia, to the inability of mountain ash forests to recover from frequent fires.

In a context of unprecedented climate change and food insecurity, adaptation in agricultural systems is critical in Africa. It is crucial to breed new varieties of staple crops that are adapted to deal with climatic conditions.

Scientists have found that some varieties of beans ? a vital food crop grown on every continent except Antarctica ? have developed ways of coping with the climate-related droughts that threaten them.
