The headlines scream about war, crime, political strife, economic woes. But underlying it all — and more and more often bubbling to the top — is what future historians will likely look back and call the story of this century: Climate change. Recognizing the importance of this pervasive phenomenon, Covering Climate Now, Columbia Journalism Review, the Solutions Journalism Network, The Guardian and The Nation last fall brought together more than 200 journalists from around the world to deve...| Ensia
Beyond Ireland’s rolling green hills and storied countryside, the nation’s marine territory spans more than 10 times its landmass. Its rocky, rugged coast borders a frigid, slate-hued ocean where kelp forests, seagrass meadows and cold-water coral reefs dwell beneath the water’s surface, providing habitat for an array of sea life.

Editor’s note: Paul Biasco first wrote about the Lake Texcoco Ecological Park for Ensia in early 2020. Here, the author revisits the park as it’s set to open to provide an update on the progress. It’s unusually dry in this former lake bed in the Valley of Mexico. It hasn’t rained in weeks, and typically temperate Mexico City is in the midst of a heat wave.

A comprehensive report on food waste published in March by the United Nations Environment Programme shares some sobering statistics: In 2022, people around the world wasted the equivalent of more than 1 billion meals each day. But the key take-home message is a far more encouraging one. In addition to scoping the extent of food waste, the report offers a specific strategy for reducing it and shares case studies that show the strategy really works — with benefits for people and the environme...| Ensia

A proposed state constitutional amendment introduced in the Michigan House in April would put the right to clean air, water, soil and a stable climate on par with other fundamental liberties like the freedoms of speech and religion. The Michigan Green Amendment, introduced by Rep. Rachel Hood (D-Grand Rapids), follows the passage of amendments in Pennsylvania, Montana and New York that have been used to fight environmental threats like PFAS contamination and hydraulic fracking in residentia...| Ensia
