Louisiana’s cultural hotspot could be surrounded by Gulf of Mexico before end of this century, authors say
The process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, as the city has reached a “point of no return” that will see it surrounded by the ocean within decades due to the climate crisis, a stark new study has concluded.
Ongoing sea-level rise and the rampant erosion of wetlands in southern Louisiana will swallow up the New Orleans area within a few generations, with the new paper estimating the city “may well be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of this century”.

International Energy Agency analysis shows methane leaks remained at near-record highs in 2025
Methane emissions from the energy sector remained at near record levels in 2025, the International Energy Agency has concluded.

In today’s newsletter: As oil prices spike and geopolitical tensions rise, a diverse group of governments is attempting to build momentum and rewrite the global energy script
Good morning. The cost of fossil fuels is threatening to strangle the global economy once again. Last week, oil prices surged after the US president, Donald Trump, warned that a blockade of Iranian ports could last months – causing the price of oil to jump to its highest level since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With it, the spectre of global recession looms large.
But on the Atlantic coast in Colombia last week, a coalition of the willing was working to break the cycle. Almost 60 governments met in Santa Marta for the world’s first conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels. At the conference, each country agreed to develop roadmaps on how to move away from fossil fuel dependency.
