70 percent of the global population can expect strong and rapid changes in extreme temperatures and rainfall in the next 20 years unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut dramatically, according to a new study.

Natural variations in the oceans in combination with rapid global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions were behind Earth’s record heat in 2023, according to a new study. 

The use of alternative fuels could be one way for the aviation sector to reduce its emissions. A new study of fuel use in domestic flights in Norway shows some mitigation potential for alternative fuels, but warns that these alternatives are neither emission-free nor climate-neutral.

There is an increasing risk of large wildfires in high latitude regions, Scandinavia included, concludes a newly published study by researchers from CICERO Center for International Climate Research and the University of Oslo.

The dangerous impacts of aerosol changes on vulnerable regions should have been a priority at COP27 after climate policymakers agreed a breakthrough deal to support these parts of the world, scientists have claimed.

Hot summers with more heatwaves and prolonged droughts can mean more forest fires. CICERO researchers are now looking at the risks and impacts of forest fires.

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, international scientists have taken on a persistent problem in climate science: near-term climate evolution.

Aviation accounts for 3.5% of the human-made climate impact. Two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than co₂, a new study shows.
