2024 has been confirmed as the hottest year on record, with global temperatures surpassing 1.5 °C of warming. This human-induced climate change has driven extreme weather events worldwide, including the devastating wildfires we currently see in U.S., California.

The latest 10 New Insights in Climate Science report, launched at COP29 last year, highlights the profound impacts of this warming.

“This report confirms that the world faces planetary-scale challenges, from rising methane emissions to the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Rising heat, ocean instability, and a tipping Amazon Rainforest could push parts of our planet beyond habitable limits,” said Centre co-founder Johan Rockström.

Now more than ever, it is vital to heed the science.

How do communities impacted by climate change adapt to this ‘new normal’?

Starting on 16 January, a research team meets with the Iñupiat community of Wainwright in Alaska to discuss experiences and strategies on how to live with change and uncertainty.

"There is nothing that I can do to stop the change but I can learn to adapt to it and turn it into something positive for me, my family and my community,” says John Hopson Jr, member of the Wainwright community.

Start-ups are racing to develop lab-grown alternatives to coffee, cocoa, and palm oil, aiming to reduce the environmental and social harm linked to these crops while meeting rising global demand.

Yet, little is known about the full potential and consequences of these innovations, according to a new study published in Nature Food.

Businesses and investors can play a key role in addressing the climate and nature crisis.

But this calls for a shift in practices to measure corporate activities based on what really matters for the health of the planet, according to a new Stockholm Resilience Centre report that was launched at Norrsken Impact Week in Barcelona in November 2024.

“What gets measured gets done”, says Centre researcher Beatrice Crona.
