Latest climate coverage from Global Development Journal.
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.
