AP photographers capture destruction, heartache and resilience as climate change advanced in 2025

Associated Press photographers captured 2025’s climate change impacts on people, animals, and ecosystems worldwide, highlighting resilience and land protection efforts amid extreme weather.

  • Fueled by burning oil, gas and coal, reporting and scientists link much of the 2025 harm to changing rainfall and temperatures, while illegal gold mining contaminates ecosystems with mercury, stressing wildlife.
  • Animals including pigs, cows and fish were harmed or killed during extreme weather, with baby ostriches in Texas and a dead fish head in France's nearly dry Aume River captured in striking photos.
  • Communities faced death, displacement and destroyed livelihoods, while the Navajo Scouts firefighter crew and Gadaba and Mura Indigenous communities worked to protect lands, and a Senegal farmer lost his left hand in clashes years ago.
  • The coverage notes AP reporting warns climate impacts will continue into 2026, supported by private foundations while AP retains editorial responsibility amid U.N. climate discussions.
