We found strikingly clear evidence that climate change is increasing the risk of fire-prone conditions in Chile and Patagonia, making blazes like these much more likely than they would have been without fossil fuel emissions.

Alongside Graihagh Jackson and Svetlana Chigozie Onye, Daniella discusses the meaningful ways people can support themselves and each other in the face of climate breakdown.
She also explains how concern about our planet, including climate anxiety, can become a motivator for climate action.

Is there a ‘Goldilocks zone’ for climate anxiety?

But, wait. What is IPBES!?
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services provides authoritative, independent scientific assessments on biodiversity and the direct and indirect benefits people enjoy from nature (called ecosystem services).

The authors argue that climate refugia, areas relatively unaffected by climate change, and biodiversity hotspots are both at risk.
The study also found that non-high income countries have a disproportionately high land allocation for forestation in climate refugia areas.
