Extreme heat is putting new pressure on power systems everywhere.

In India, record heatwaves are driving up demand for cooling. But when power cuts hit, the heat becomes dangerous.

Now, cities like Delhi are using digital systems that can predict grid issues before they happen while scaling clean energy that reduces emissions and lowers costs.

Today at , forests' role in fighting climate change is taking centre stage.

53 million people depend on high-risk tropical forests for clean water, food, jobs, and protection from natural disasters?

Tripling investments to protect, restore, and sustainably manage these forests can unlock long-term economic growth and prosperity.

Discover how valuing their multiple benefits and smart financing can turn forests into powerful allies against climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation: https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/triple-investments-forests-2030-reap-multiple-benefits-says-un

Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming.

Data and real-world measurements are finally exposing the true scale of methane leaks, but action is still lagging, according to UNEP’s latest report.

As methane takes center stage at , leaders have a major opportunity to turn this improved transparency into rapid, low-cost emissions cuts across oil and gas, waste, and agriculture: https://www.unep.org/resources/eye-methane-2025-measurement-momentum

Cities consume 70% of the world’s food and generate half of its waste.

In Brazil — the host nation for this year’s — cities are showing that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Through the movement, Brazilian cities are leading by example:

✅ Supporting sustainable farming practices

✅ Teaching environmental resilience in schools

✅ Reducing waste and promoting circular economies

From farms to classrooms, communities across Brazil are proving that urban areas can drive real change toward a greener, more sustainable future.
