A recent climate initiative by the Norwegian government is facing opposition from the Saami Indigenous people, whose territories are directly affected. The proposed 54-kilometer power line would be built by the state-owned energy company Equinor in the northernmost portion of the country, well above the Arctic Circle. The Saami believe their rights to cultural preservation […]

Soul-searching Second, the idea that repression of the movement would act as a ‘backfiring tool’, stirring public sympathy proved overly optimistic. “If they lock us up, there will be an outcry,” some activists claimed. Repression and court cases did not trigger mass support. Instead, the crackdowns dampened the movement’s momentum. Third, the rise of the […]

Experts are warning that millions of people around the world aren’t being counted in census data, leaving policy makers in the dark about the populations they govern. They say a “quiet crisis” is unfolding with census data not being published due to concerns about declining response rates and the accuracy of data. In a paper […]

However, Cooper backtracked after becoming home secretary, opting to appeal against the quashing of the very legislation she once condemned. The Court of Appeal found against the government. The government’s continuation of Conservative rhetoric and frustration at judicial independence on asylum cases was also clear in recent calls to exploit “legal loopholes,” drawing criticism even from […]

This story was originally published by the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, a joint center of Columbia Law School and Columbia Climate School. The world’s energy systems and digital infrastructure are undergoing rapid and interconnected transformations. The continued expansion of data centers—driven by growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and next-generation digital […]

Youth-led After completing her undergraduate degree, Lindi undertook a two-year  climate and land rights internship with the Association for Rural Land Rights Advocacy ( AFRA), participating in projects helping local rural communities negotiate different challenges associated with climate change. These included water scarcity to dealing with high winds, thunderstorms and flash flooding.  She was also […]

What does mobility look like in the face of climate change? How can we build more just and climate-resilient communities? When should areas opt for adaptation in place over managed retreat? These are just some of the questions to expect at this year’s MR2025 (formerly known as Managed Retreat) conference. Hosted by the Columbia Climate […]

Saira Ramirez Mingueta Saira Ramirez Mingueta has vivid memories of visiting her grandparent’s home in Jalisco, Mexico, where she was born. “I was surrounded by plants, animals and chirping birds—it was magical. I felt at ease, loved and safe in nature.” Ramirez Mingueta, the second eldest of six children, was a baby when her family […]

A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94 percent of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water species. The findings validate previous global models suggesting that marine fish are major contributors to biogenic carbonate production in the ocean. Scientists at the […]
Faithful chromosome segregation requires proper function of the mitotic spindle, which is built from, and depends on, the coordinated regulation of many microtubules and the activities of molecular motors and MAPs. In addition, microtubules themselves are assembled from multiple variants, or isotypes of α- and β-tubulin, yet whether they mediate the activities of motors and […]
