"The World take a look at a variety of environment stories in this holiday special. A new report finds that renewable energy sources made up more of the global electricity mix than coal for the first half of 2025. Also, scientists in Greenland study glacial meltwater to better understand what it could do to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. And, a look at how climate change is exacerbating Canada's fire season. Plus, an activist who's working to protect trees in Mexico City."

Renewable energy sources supplied a greater share of the global electricity mix than coal during the first half of 2025, marking a shift in generation sources. Scientists in Greenland are sampling glacial meltwater to determine how freshwater inputs could affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and broader ocean circulation. Climate change is worsening Canada's fire season by extending fire seasons and increasing wildfire intensity. An activist in Mexico City is actively working to protect urban trees amid development and environmental pressures.
