A significant development in the battle against environmental degradation is the recent collaboration between the meat industry and environmental organizations, aiming to reduce the ecological footprints left by the former. This collaboration led to the establishment of The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, an organization offering guidelines for environmental improvement within the meat industry. The […]
This week’s Climate Change Poster Collection focus on Migration of Fish Species. Migration is a fundamental behavior in many fish species, driven by the need to find optimal conditions for feeding, breeding, and survival. Traditionally, fish migration patterns have been relatively stable, influenced by factors such as water temperature, salinity, and the availability of prey. Many […]
Denver is grappling with major health risks due to the escalation in temperatures and heatwaves, a direct consequence of climate change. These high temperatures pose a significant menace to everyone, most notably the elderly, children, outdoor workers, individuals with preexisting health conditions, and those lacking adequate home cooling. As the climate warms, the risks associated […]
The aviation industry is making significant efforts to mitigate its climate impact. The primary focus is on decreasing carbon emissions and contrails, both of which contribute considerably to global warming. This comes in the wake of an alarming 2021 study that revealed contrails may account for more than half of aviation’s climate impact. This finding […]
The Role of Direct Air Capture Technology in Combating Climate Change The fight against climate change has ushered in an era of innovative technologies, one of which is Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. An exemplary instance of this technology being put to use is at the Mammoth, a carbon capture and storage plant in Iceland. […]
Climate change is having a noticeable impact on the comfort and safety of our daily lives, particularly in the Midwest. The increase in global temperatures is causing an uptick in humidity, resulting in summers that feel uncomfortably sticky. This is not just an inconvenience; it’s a significant change in our environment with far-reaching implications. In […]
In an exciting development for renewable energy initiatives, the Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have recently announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to make renewable energy initiatives more accessible and scalable, a much-needed step to effectively combat climate change. The partnership will primarily focus on enhancing market […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection focus on River Flow Patterns. Rivers are the arteries of our planet, channeling life-sustaining water through landscapes, nourishing ecosystems, and supporting human civilizations. The patterns of river flow—the timing, volume, and variability of water movement—are governed by a complex interplay of climatic, geological, and ecological factors. Traditionally, river flow patterns […]
Climate change, a global concern that has been dominating discussions in recent years, is causing significant shifts in global rainfall patterns. These changes have far-reaching effects, including intensifying typhoons and other tropical storms. Recently, countries like China, Taiwan, and the Philippines have been at the receiving end of these changing weather patterns. They experienced the […]
Air New Zealand recently made headlines as the first major airline to abandon its 2030 goal for reducing carbon emissions. The decision came as a result of obstacles in procuring efficient aircraft and sustainable jet fuel. However, despite this setback, the airline is in the process of conceptualizing a new short-term target and remains steadfast […]
