Climate Visuals published a list of guidelines on how to photograph (and this report on) increasing heat temperatures, including focussing on the most affected, showing interventions against extreme risk, and most importantly, not portraying record heat using fun in the sun pictures.

An updated assessment from 60 climate scientists state that we have 3 years left to stay within the carbon budget to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. If we don't meet that target though, every fraction of a degree reduced by cutting emissions matters.
The Harvard Business Review published a useful piece on questions to ask when trying to make business decisions in uncertain times, such as if the decision will make sense in a year, can the decision be used as an example of leadership, and what's the cost of waiting.
