Beijing announced an additional 100 million yuan (about US$14 million) in aid to Venezuela. Flood victims in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are still waiting for help after days of torrential rain overwhelmed several reservoirs in Hengzhou, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Nanning.
Western Europe experienced its hottest June on record. Floods have killed 39 people in Guangxi province in southern China. The Trump administration appointed Matthew Wielicki to lead the office in charge of the US national climate assessment. The European Commission is set to unveil a 2040 target for EU electrification on 17 July.

Olivia Karp wrote an essay for Global Voices' July 2026 Spotlight series, "Statelessness". She argues that climate change increases the risk of statelessness. Pacific Islands such as Tuvalu and Fiji are vulnerable to climate-related disasters. There are gaps in protection and policy on climate change and statelessness, which need to be addressed.
Climate change is already having a big impact on crop yields. Global warming-fuelled heat and drought is already hitting yields of maize, wheat and soybeans to the tune of $20 billion a year. This could rise to more than $160 billion by 2100, unless we slash emissions. The financial losses will be greatest for big producers such as the US, but the impacts will be felt most in the lowest-income countries where most people work in farming.

A federal judge declines to halt Northern California water infrastructure projects that environmental groups say will harm vulnerable fish species. The Central Valley Project and the California’s State Water Project include dams, reservoirs, water diversion facilities, conveyance channels, pumping facilities and other water infrastructure. The groups say the projects threaten Chinook salmon, steelhead trout and Northern American green sturgeon.
There will be a temporary break in monsoon activity due to changing atmospheric systems and global climate drivers. It will affect North India, including the vast northern plains and key agricultural belts that recently experienced heavy downpours. West India will see a significant shift, prominently affecting Gujarat and Rajasthan, both of which endured intense regional flooding during the monsoon's latest advancement. The dry spell is set to cover central India, stretching over major crop-producing states like Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Agricultural experts warn that an extended break could slow down the crucial mid-July sowing of Kharif crops.
