  • HEBER CITY, UTAH - FEBRUARY 07: People fish along the Deer Creek Reservoir with the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains in the distance on February 07, 2026 near Heber City, Utah. A snow drought and warmer weather across Utah and much of the Western United States has resulted in Utah receiving only around one-third of its normal early February snowpack. The state relies on mountain snowpack for around 95% of its water supply. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

  • A view of nature covered in a white blanket following the season's first heavy snowfall in Girdwood, Alaska, United States on November 9, 2025. Snow-covered forests, mountains, and valleys reflect the silence and tranquility of the Alaskan winter with the first light of dawn. According to experts, temperatures across the state are hovering around freezing, and the snow cover is expected to become permanent. While daylight hours in Anchorage and the surrounding area are around 7-8 hours in November, they will drop to 5.5 hours by the end of December. In northern Alaska, the polar night period has begun; the sun does not rise above the horizon for days.

  • BENGALURU, INDIA - OCTOBER 11: An aerial view of the Pavagada Solar Park on October 11, 2021 in Kyataganacharulu village, Karnataka, India. As the countdown to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) at Glasgow begins, India is in a formidable position to lead climate change conversations as the country is on its way to meet its renewable energy target of 175GW by 2022, with solar power alone contributing to 100GW. In a clutch of villages around the Pavagada solar park in the southern state of Karnataka where nearly 13,000 acres of land has been acquired on lease for 28 years to produce 2050MW of electricity, economic inequity is becoming apparent — while farmers with large land holdings have clearly benefitted, poor farmers with no land have further been pushed to the margins with rising unemployment, lack of basic infrastructure, and a loss of their cultural identity.
