The mass of the Greenland ice sheet has rapidly declined in the last several years due to surface melting and iceberg calving. Orange and red shades indicate areas that lost ice mass, while light blue shades indicate areas that gained ice mass. White indicates areas where there has been very little or no change in ice mass since 2002

Even a tiny Q tip has an enormous effect on life. This heartbreaking photo reveals a troubling reality. The onslaught of marine plastic waste is a slow-motion catastrophe. Marine plastic debris is a real threat to our health. We have seen results of research showing that fish and shellfish from many parts of the world consumed plastic and micro plastic. According to the UN, Indonesia, by the end 2025, will reduce 70% of its plastic debris from 2017. This weekend at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin TBA21 is hosting Fishing for Islands. Throughout the weekend, performative interventions and artists’ installations will open up new perspectives on traditional and mythological dimensions of the oceans, as well as on infrastructure and migration.

Some of the politics that we see now in Europe and on the other side of the globe, which can be called autochthonic politics, are different from other extreme-right politics. One of the interesting things is that many of these autochthonic political organizations take pride in telling us that they are not racist. Indeed, rather than using notions of “race,” as earlier forms of racist ideology did during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these movements construct racialized boundaries that differentiate people according to those who belong and those who do not, using a wide variety of boundary signifiers, including origin, religious affiliation, and citizenship status. Autochthonic politics are thus very elastic. The only common message is, “We were here before you, and therefore we belong and you do not!”

On 6 November, COP23 opens in Bonn. Germany has ambitious plans to convert to renewable energy sources, yet it remains largely dependent on heavily polluting coal for generating electricity, with hundreds of open-pit lignite mines across the country. The phase-out of coal is a major area of contention in the current coalition talks between the winners of the recent German election, with the Green party pitted against the conservative CDU/CSU and the pro-business FDP. This weekend, on the occasion of COP23, 350.org is launching an action targeting Europe’s biggest single source of CO2, the Rhineland coalfields, demanding Germany commit to a rapid phase-out of coal

Bloomberg's new European headquarters in London, designed by Norman Foster, including an artwork by Eliasson, sets new standards for sustainable office buildings. Amoung innovative features is the roof where rainwater is captured, treated and recycled for the toilets. Overall the building's water conservation systems will save 25 million liters of water each year.

Sourdough bread in the making by our friends Anna and Sam Luntley, the founders of bakery47 – a community space and bakery in Glasgow. Our studio kitchen is the first stop on their journey to visit and learn from other food-creating communities in Europe, the US, India, Sri Lanka, and Iceland. Travelling with them is sourdough from Scotland, to be shared with other makers and bakers along the way.
