What role do socio-economic inequalities and racial disparities play in the disproportionate impact of extreme heat on favela residents?

The heat in Complexo da Maré is intensified by the favela's location between major highways, surrounded by asphalt and concrete, creating a phenomenon known as "heat islands." This, coupled with densely packed housing with poor ventilation, worsens the impact of climate change on its predominantly Afro-descendant population.

What factors contributed to the unexpectedly sharp decrease in Arctic sea ice extent in late January 2025?

The record low sea ice extent is part of a larger trend of declining Arctic sea ice, driven by rising global temperatures. The loss of sea ice has significant implications for global climate patterns, sea levels, and Arctic ecosystems. The unexpectedly sharp decrease in late January, losing an area the size of Italy, highlights the accelerating pace of change.

How are internal political dynamics within the EU influencing the debate around the 2040 climate target?

The EU's proposed 90% emissions reduction target by 2040 faces political resistance, particularly from Italy and potentially Germany. The Commission is exploring four options to make the target more palatable, including non-linear emission reduction trajectories and increased reliance on international carbon credits and negative emissions. These options risk diluting the EU's climate commitments and impacting global climate action.
