G8 fails on climate goals. Again.
G8 countries have so far failed to take sufficient action to protect the world against climate change. The latest G8 Climate Scorecards report shows that Germany, followed by the UK and France, is performing better than the rest of the rich nations’ group. Italy and Japan are in a lower medium ranked group. Canada, the USA and Russia are lagging behind, despite the USA moving up one rank.

Climate change is everywhere
Today we are seeing the impacts of climate change around the globe - melting glaciers, rising sea levels, stronger storms, higher floods, less snow north and more drought south.
While individual events cannot be proof of serious climate change, multiple events, observations in nature, and observations by people living close to nature tell the full story.
