Latest climate coverage from Global Development Journal.
This article analyzes the value of climate journalism training resources from the perspectives of global development and ESG governance, and outlines training, scholarship, and academic programs for journalists. It argues that specialized climate communication is foundational infrastructure for achieving sustainable transformation.
From the perspective of global development governance, this article analyzes the intertwined relationship between food systems and environmental crises, and explores how the international community can promote sustainable, resilient, and equitable food transformation through multilateral cooperation, so as to contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
From a global development perspective, this article analyzes how food systems serve as a key lever connecting human health, environmental resilience, and climate action, and discusses reforms to international governance mechanisms, ESG trends, and the systemic challenges faced by developing countries.
A new study finds that even as climate change accelerates, the rate of species turnover in global ecosystems is actually slowing down. This signal of a "natural slowdown" may indicate that biodiversity is being lost, and it also raises a brand-new proposition for global sustainable development and ESG governance.
Based on UNESCO's climate reporting capacity-building practices in Southeast Asia, this article analyzes the structural role of the media in climate adaptation, disaster response, and long-term development governance, and explores pathways for building information infrastructure in the Global South.
Based on the United Nations report, analyze methane emission reduction as a rapid, low-cost climate solution, and explore its profound impacts on the Global South, energy transition, health, agriculture, and sustainable development goals.
Analyze how food systems can serve as a core lever for global development, climate change, and the Sustainable Development Goals, and explore the challenges and transformation pathways faced by international governance.
Based on ABC News climate feature materials, analyze energy transition, climate adaptation, and resilience building in the Global South from a global development perspective, and explore ESG impacts and new trends in international cooperation.
Research from the University of California, Santa Barbara indicates that climate intervention methods such as marine cloud brightening (MCB) could significantly weaken the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), thereby creating cascading effects on global weather, agriculture, and ecosystems. This article examines this risk from a global development perspective, emphasizing the need for comprehensive assessments of regional impacts in climate governance, so as to avoid deepening development gaps through technological shortcuts.
The green economy has surpassed $10 trillion in market value, becoming the third-largest industry globally. This article analyzes the economic logic of low-carbon transition, stranded asset risks, geopolitical impacts, and sustainable development governance challenges from a global development perspective.
Global warming is accelerating, and the Earth's energy imbalance reaches a new high, posing structural pressure on SDGs, ESG investment, and international development cooperation.
Based on the latest research in Nature Climate Change, analyze how the increase in atmospheric saturation vapor pressure deficit suppresses forest biophysical cooling effects at different latitudes, and explore its profound implications for climate change adaptation, nature-based solutions, and ESG investments.
Based on the event of the South African government calling for全社会 participation in climate action on World Environment Day 2026, this analysis examines the multi-level challenges of the country's climate governance and adaptation pathways from a global development perspective.
Starting from the governance realities of the nonprofit sector, this article analyzes how climate change has shifted from an environmental issue into a composite variable of public services, social equity, disaster resilience, and development financing, and discusses the long-term impact of this shift on global development, ESG, and international cooperation.
A study covering more than 67,000 vascular plant species shows that climate change is rapidly shrinking the suitable habitats of many species, with up to about 16% of species potentially losing more than 90% of their range by the end of this century. This is not only a biodiversity issue; it will also affect food security, water resources, land use, public services, and the logic of ESG investing.
Extreme heat is pushing agriculture to the front line of climate risk, yet public climate finance flowing to agricultural resilience still accounts for only about 4%. This is not merely a sectoral allocation issue; it also reflects a structural mismatch among global development finance, food security, and climate governance.
