Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Plant phenology, the study of the timing of life cycle events in plants such as flowering, leaf-out, and fruiting, serves as a sensitive indicator of environmental changes. As the climate warms, these phenological events are occurring earlier in the year, disrupting the delicate balance of ecosystems. This shift is […]
Tractor Supply Co. has recently made waves with its surprising decision to retract its carbon emission reduction targets and abandon diversity-focused job positions and objectives. This move marks a significant shift from the company’s previous commitments, which had included stern warnings to investors about potential adverse effects on the business should it fail to meet […]
The automotive industry could potentially lead the market for low-carbon steel production in Europe, as per NGO Transport & Environment (T&E). This is conditional on lawmakers setting content requirements. Embracing green steel production could substantially reduce CO2 emissions from European car production by 6.9 Mt in 2030. This is equivalent to the emissions of 3.5 […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Global wind patterns, the large-scale movement of air across the Earth’s surface, are fundamental to the regulation of our planet’s climate and weather systems. These patterns are driven by the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface by the sun, creating pressure differences that cause air to move. Traditionally, these […]
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Linda Hall Library, both iconic institutions in Kansas City, have been recognized on a national level for their commitment to climate-conscious planning. They have been selected as recipients of a significant grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to conduct a comprehensive climate impact and resiliency […]
The Flora Incognita app, a remarkable innovation developed by researchers at Leipzig University and iDiv, is transforming the way in which we study the effects of climate change on plant life. This cutting-edge mobile application allows users to identify and log details of wild plants, offering a unique approach to understanding the potential impacts of […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Riverine ecosystems, comprising the intricate networks of rivers, streams, and their surrounding environments, are among the most dynamic and vital components of our natural world.
