Giant sequoia trees are becoming a resilient part of our landscape with an estimated half a million sequoias (wild and planted) in England, writes Professor Mat Disney (UCL Geography) in The Conversation.

Imported giant sequoia trees are well adapted to the UK, growing at rates close to their native ranges and capturing large amounts of carbon during their long lives, finds a new study led by UCL researchers with colleagues at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Global GDP loss from climate change will increase exponentially the warmer the planet gets when its cascading impact on global supply chains is factored in, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Campaign group Ardwick Climate Action, with the support of University of Manchester researchers, are to launch a green route on 12 March where local people can avoid the excessive pollution caused by motor vehicles. The scheme close to Kale Street will help combat the area's disproportionate exposure to air pollution, improve the health and wellbeing of local people and improve public safety away from major roads.
