Climate Change
How does climate change really work – and why does it affect us and our planet so much? We explain the science in an easy way.
How does agriculture affect the environment?
Agriculture is the starting point for large parts of our economy and everyday lives. Food, textiles, and many other bio-based products begin in the soil – which is why agriculture's climate impact is a critical part of the work to reduce emissions across the entire value chain.
Aviation’s Climate Impact – Why Reducing Emissions Matters
Aviation today accounts for around 2 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. This may sound like a small share, but compared with many other sectors it is a significant contribution – especially since flight emissions continue to grow, with more people wanting to travel.

Climate and Transport
The transportation sector accounts for almost one third of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions and about one fifth of emissions in the EU.
Climate justice
“Climate change is happening now and to all of us. No country or community is immune,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “And, as is always the case, the poor and vulnerable are the first to suffer and the worst hit.”
Is AI a climate problem?
Henrik Kniberg, co-founder and chief scientist at Ymnig AI, shares his thoughts on AI and its climate impact with us at GoClimate.

What do the terms climate neutrality, net zero, and climate positivity really mean?
The terms climate neutrality, net zero, and climate positivity are often used in global climate discussions and corporate sustainability goals. They focus on reducing and financing emissions of greenhouse gases, but the definitions vary.
Fossil Fuels – The Biggest Driver of Climate Change
The burning of fossil fuels is our largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. They are a major contributor to the climate change we are witnessing today. Examples of fossil fuels include coal, oil, gasoline, diesel, and fossil gas (also called natural gas).

Energy and Climate
Energy is used across all sectors of society – in homes, industries, and transportation. Every energy source impacts the climate and the environment, but to varying degrees and in different ways.

Global Warming: Causes, Mechanisms, and Consequences
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature, primarily caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases. According to the Paris Agreement, we aim to limit warming to 1.5 degrees, but current global trajectories suggest we are heading toward double that increase.

What Drives Climate Change - and How We Can Stop It
Climate change is an urgent global challenge that threatens the future of our society and requires immediate action. Today, approximately 21.5 million people are displaced due to these changes, and by 2050, up to a maximum of 1 billion people could become climate refugees.
What is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity is the rich variety of life on Earth in all its forms. The biodiversity we see today is the result of 4.5 billion years of evolution, where species and ecosystems have developed in interaction with one another.
What is Circular Economy?
The circular economy is a model designed to minimize resource consumption and waste by keeping materials and products in use for as long as possible.
Renewable Energy: a Growing Solution for a Sustainable Future
In a world grappling with climate change and the global consequences of fossil fuels, the shift to renewable and fossil-free energy is a priority for everyone; countries, businesses, and individuals.
Why should we care about the new climate science report that has gone out?
A new report from the IPCC was published this Monday, 28th Feb 2022. But why should we care about it? And what does it mean to us?
Untangling the climate vocabulary
There are currently multiple terms floating around regarding the climate and our relation to our emissions. Let’s figure this out together!
What is the carbon footprint of the internet and streaming?
Have you ever wondered if all the hours on Netflix actually have a carbon footprint? We dig into the details!
The unjust and, yes, racist side of climate change
Climate change affects everyone, but it does not impact everyone in the same way or at the same time. That is why the fight against climate change should not be separated from the fight for justice and equality.
