What to Expect From the COP26 Meeting
This story was originally written by Sarah Fecht and published on the State of the Planet blog. Tackling human-caused climate change and its impacts requires a monumental effort and global cooperation. That’s why representatives from all over the world have gathered at COP meetings nearly every year since 1995. Last year’s meeting was cancelled due to […]
In New Project, Millions of Farmers Will Help to Improve Insurance Against Climate Disasters
This story was originally written by Kristin French and published on the State of the Planet blog. Megafires, extreme weather, locust swarms, pandemics: These are just some of the many natural disasters that have devastated farmers in recent years, destroying livelihoods and leaving hunger in their wake. Between 2008 and 2018, disasters cost the agricultural […]

New recommendations by the World Resources Institute, International Research Institute for Climate and Society, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, World Food Programme and the Global Center on Adaptation outline path to maximize impact of […]
Beyond Food Security: ACToday Addressing Climate-Nutrition Linkages in Senegal
The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Today, for Tomorrow (ACToday) Columbia World Project is working with Senegal’s Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), home to the country’s largest master’s and doctoral training programs, to address one of the most under-researched topics in development: the links between climate and nutrition. In March, ACToday-Senegal hosted an online event that […]
July 2021 Quick Look
In mid-July, SSTs in the east-central Pacific are -0.1 degree C different from average. The evolution of some key atmospheric variables is consistent with ENSO-neutral conditions, but others may hint at cooling to come. A large majority of the model forecasts predict SSTs to remain near-normal through boreal summer, and about half of the dynamical models predict near-normal throughout the full forecast period. Similar to the new official CPC/IRI outlook issued earlier this month, this objective outlook calls for ENSO-neutral to persist through at least Aug-Sep-Oct, with greater uncertainty later in the year.
June 2021 Quick Look
In mid-June, SSTs in the east-central Pacific are roughly 0.0 degree C different from average, and the evolution of most key atmospheric variables are consistent with ENSO-neutral conditions. A large majority of the model forecasts predict SSTs to remain near-normal through boreal summer. Similar to the new official CPC/IRI outlook issued earlier this month this objective outlook calls for ENSO-neutral to persist through at least Aug-Sep-Oct, with greater uncertainty later in the year.
May Climate Briefing: Neutral Conditions are Here
Read our ENSO Essentials & Impacts pages for more about El Niño and La Niña. In mid-May, the tropical Pacific sea-surface temperatures, while still slightly cool, are now within the range of ENSO-neutral. Atmospheric indicators are similarly consistent with the end of La Niña conditions. A new set of model runs predicts ENSO-neutral conditions are likely to persist through August-October 2021, […]
May 2021 Quick Look
In mid-May, SSTs in the east-central Pacific are roughly 0.3 degree C below average, and the evolution of most key atmospheric variables are consistent with the end of La Niña conditions. A large majority of the model forecasts predict SSTs to remain near-normal through boreal summer. Similar to the new official CPC/IRI outlook issued earlier this month this objective outlooks calls for ENSO-neutral to persist through at least Jul-Aug-Sep, with greater uncertainty later in the year. A La Niña advisory is no longer in effect.
