A global analysis led by veterinary Professor Andrew Knight finds that the average dog consumes 40 % more farmed land animals per year than the average person, primarily because commercial dog foods derive a higher share of calories from animal ingredients. Transitioning the world’s dogs to nutritionally complete vegan diets could eliminate the need to raise six billion land animals annually while freeing up enough food energy to feed 450 million people.

The European Central Bank has unveiled new approaches to climate analysis that leverage enhanced data integration techniques, offering unprecedented insights into climate-related economic impacts and policy effectiveness.

Recent Nature Climate Change research shows that rising temperatures are causing some Arctic rivers to erode faster while others slow down, potentially releasing vast amounts of previously frozen carbon and reshaping our understanding of climate feedback loops in northern ecosystems.

A major international study led by UK and EU researchers demonstrates that climate policies are effectively reducing carbon emissions, with countries implementing stricter, sector-specific measures achieving the most significant decarbonization results.

New 2024–2025 measurements show atmospheric greenhouse gases at their highest levels in at least 800,000 years, while oceans and forests absorb less carbon than before. This analysis unpacks the latest numbers, explains the carbon-budget concept, and explores what they mean for staying within 1.5 °C of warming.
