The Fudan Tyndall Centre in Shanghai is an innovative institute dedicated to interdisciplinary climate research. Professor Trevor Davies of the University of East Anglia, who co-directs the centre with Professor Yiqi Luo, talks to Nature Climate Change about the initiative.

The new United Nations panel can offer real hope of illuminating the threat to biodiversity, not least from climate change.

The contributions of ice melt and ocean thermal expansion to sea-level rise during the last interglacial period are poorly constrained. A new quantification of their roles implies that the Antarctic ice sheet may be more sensitive to climate change than once thought.

Noxious cyanobacteria pose a considerable health threat to freshwater ecosystems. Research now suggests that toxic strains may be outcompeted by their non-toxic counterparts as surface concentrations of carbon dioxide increase.

As we face perhaps the biggest challenge in our species' history, Chris Stringer — a palaeoanthropologist at London's Natural History Museum and author of The Origin Of Our Species — tells Nature Climate Change how our hominid cousins battled past climate change.

Arguments for action on climate change that appeal to social values, rather than individual wealth, are more likely to succeed in the long term.
