It's June 2023, which means it's bushfire season in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. For generations, the Aboriginal Australians who live there have used the technique of fire to better control their harvests and prevent massive bushfires.
In the forest of La Teste-de-Buch, in south-western France, 3,500 hectares went up in flames last year. Since then, loggers have worked overtime, fighting a war on two fronts: to cut down and sell on the burnt wood for whatever it might still be good for, and also limit the spread of the bark beetle, a winged insect capable of colonising trees within a 10 to 20-kilometre radius.
It's May 2023 and the remote village of Ittoqqortoormiit, on the east coast of Greenland, is 25 kilometres short of sea ice. Indigenous people who hunt seals and polar bears have abandoned their traditional sled dogs for motorboats.
It's March 2023 in Kenya and the Turkana people are still waiting for rain. They’ve been waiting for five long years. These nomadic herders live in the arid northwest of the East African country. For centuries, their lives have been determined by the alternating dry and rainy seasons. But now the water has stopped coming, leaving the land parched.
Hoekstra insists that his past association with Shell does not make him the wrong person for the job. "I worked for them until, I think, 2004. So not exactly the Stone Age, but quite a while ago.

The phenomenon is not new, but scientists say it has accelerated rapidly. In 2022, some 250 rockslides were reported in the Mont-Blanc range alone. Since the 1970s, such events have increased tenfold.
With an average temperature of 28°C (82.4°F), which feels like 32°C (89.6°F) with humidity, Singapore's six million inhabitants endure persistent heat all year round. Located close to the equator, the city-state has one key challenge: to remain liveable despite global warming. The situation is urgent: over the past 60 years, the city has warmed twice as fast as the rest of the world due to its unbridled economic development. As the leading financial centre in Southeast Asia, Singapore has become one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Concrete and tarmac trap the heat, while air conditioners, present in 80 percent of homes, blow hot air onto the streets.
Some 25 kilometres south of Paris, construction is in full swing. Metro stations, housing, and university campuses are rapidly changing the landscape of what used to be a semi-rural area. It’s become a source of concern for many residents who are now rising up against plans to build a metro line over farmland.
