Les choses ne sont pas aussi terribles qu’elles en ont l’air.

Le Kenya devient le premier pays africain — et seulement le deuxième au monde — à recevoir une assistance technique du réseau de Santiago sur les pertes et préjudices, un mécanisme onusien créé en 2019. Les 700 000 dollars financeront un bilan climatique sur dix ans, de 2015 à 2025, avec des projections

Le Brésil punit le racisme par la prison — et les tribunaux l’appliquent réellement

Since 1989, Brazilian law has classified racism as a non-bailable offense with no statute of limitations, carrying prison sentences of two to five years. Since 2023, racial insults directed at individuals carry the same penalty. In December 2025, the Supreme Court unanimously recognized the existence of structural racism — and prosecutions of foreign visitors have brought the law to international attention.

L’Inde installe son premier «arbre liquide» à microalgues pour dépolluer les villes

India has installed its first "Liquid Tree" — a water-filled structure packed with microalgae that absorb CO₂ and release oxygen through photosynthesis — functioning as a compact, even more efficient air-purifying alternative for dense urban areas where planting real trees is difficult. The harvested algae can also be used as plant fertilizer, adding a circular-economy dimension to the system.

Des caméras thermiques signalent aux navires la présence de baleines grises à San Francisco

Of 16 gray whales spotted in San Francisco Bay this year, seven have died — several from ship strikes. Climate change is shrinking their Arctic food supply, driving them into the bay on their 12,000-mile Mexico-to-Alaska migration. A coalition of scientists and officials installed a thermal camera on a bay island that detects whale exhalations, screens alerts with AI, and notifies the U.S. Coast Guard in real time.

Un monde plus juste et plus vert d’ici 2100 : les chiffres le confirment

A major study shows that rising living standards, shorter working hours and a stable climate are not competing goals but parts of the same future. Nearly 90% of the world's population could double their income by 2100, average monthly earnings converge toward €5,000 in every country, and have working hours fall by half — all within 2°C of warming.

De la peinture sur un toit suffit à protéger la santé de familles africaines

Africa warms at twice the global average, and excessive heat can bring health problems. A simple solution is showing great effect: a coat of heat-reflective white paint on a rooftop can lower indoor temperatures enough to protect sleep and reduce the risk of serious illness. A trial across four communities in South Africa and Ghana is already showing residents feeling cooler — with full health results on the way.

Les overdoses aux États-Unis ont chuté de 24 % en 2024, une première historique

For the first time on record, overdose death rates declined across all four waves of the US drug crisis, falling 24.4% between 2023 and 2024. Fentanyl-related deaths drove the decline, with researchers citing wider naloxone availability, greater risk awareness, and possible disruptions to the illicit fentanyl supply chain as contributing factors.

Les médicaments amaigrissants réduisent le risque de cancer du sein de 30 %

Three large studies found that women taking GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro were about 30% less likely to develop breast cancer. The drugs also slowed cancer progression across seven solid tumor types. Researchers cite reduced inflammation and improved metabolic health as likely factors.

Les flamants roses reviennent à Venise en nombre record grâce à la restauration des zones humides

24,000 flamingos were counted in the Venetian Lagoon in 2025 — 6,000 more than the year before — as a €23.6 million EU restoration project rebuilds salt marshes that once covered nearly half the 550-square-kilometer lagoon. In the southern lagoon alone, flamingo numbers grew from a handful to 300–400 over three years of active reconstruction.

Des chercheurs transforment des emballages alimentaires en plastique à dégradation rapide

Researchers have developed a one-step process that converts existing plastics into a new material that degrades significantly faster. The method replaces oxygen atoms with sulfur in the plastic's structure, weakening its molecular bonds. Published in Chem Circularity, the process is described as easily scalable to industrial quantities.
