Mountainous, densely populated Japan has little land available for large solar farms, so developers are erecting arrays on many of the now disused golf courses that proliferated during the country's 1980s economic boom. Read more on E360 →

Across all areas of life, four risk factors stand out: age, poverty, disability and social isolation
Ageing, urbanisation and increasing individualisation are likely to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities

The simple truth is, the climate accountability genie is out of the bottle, and the Supreme Court is unlikely to jam it back in. Even if the court sides with Suncor, attribution science will continue to move forward, filling in the gaps between cause and effect in our understanding of how climate works
It is only a matter of time before the courts catch up

The Government of Indonesia has announced that it will stop any further expansion of the Food and Energy Estates project in Papua and will shift all future development for the project for food and crops for bioenergy to degraded lands – a globally significant win for Indonesia’s nature, the climate, and local communities

Rising temperatures can reduce milk protein and fat content
European heatwaves caused measurable milk quality declines during 2026
Heat-stressed hens may produce thinner shells and altered yolks
Consumer demand remains largely unaffected despite temporary quality changes
Adaptation mitigates impacts, but extreme heat still poses risks

The water level of Lake Constance is particularly dependent on the River Rhine, which has also been grappling with a historic dry spell. Although this international waterway has around 200 tributaries, the Rhine is by far the most significant source of water, accounting for around 62% of the total

Conclusion
Environmental exposures, particularly air pollution and temperature, may influence the outcome of oral health. Further well-designed studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and strengthen evidence base
