Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Alpine ecosystems, characterized by their high-altitude environments and unique biodiversity, are among the most sensitive regions to climate change, and the changes occurring within these ecosystems offer a compelling illustration of the broader impacts of global warming. These ecosystems, found in mountain ranges worldwide from the Rockies in North […]
The ocean’s most feared predators, sharks, have endured five mass extinctions over 450 million years. However, they are now in danger of being impacted by the sixth mass extinction due to overfishing and ocean degradation. These ancient creatures are now facing a new threat in the form of climate change, which could disrupt their populations […]
The Climate Lab, an initiative funded by The Bullitt Foundation, the University of Washington, and other contributors, is a Seattle Times project dedicated to researching the effects of climate change in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. A significant part of this venture is the allocation of more than $50 million in revenue from Washington state’s […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Blue Carbon, refers to the carbon captured and stored by the world’s oceanic and coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. These ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by acting as significant carbon sinks. Unlike terrestrial forests, which store carbon in biomass and soil, blue […]
Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) has set its sights on the development of Australia’s largest green hydrogen projects in South Australia and Northern Territory, each boasting a significant 10GW capacity. These ambitious projects will place Australia at the forefront of clean energy innovation and production. One of the key elements in these projects is the renewable […]
In light of escalating global environmental issues, a new report by NATO has highlighted the mounting security risks associated with climate change. This includes the melting of sea ice and Russia’s military expansion in the Arctic region. The report underscores the distinctly different strategies adopted by NATO’s adversaries in the face of climate change, with […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Thermokarst lakes. A striking and increasingly significant feature in the Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes, formed by the thawing of permafrost—ground that has remained frozen for at least two consecutive years. These lakes emerge when the ice-rich permafrost melts, causing the ground to subside and create depressions that subsequently fill […]
Recent research has brought to light a startling revelation: global warming is causing the days to lengthen. This surprising effect is due to the melting of polar ice sheets and the resulting redistribution of mass on Earth’s surface. It is a clear indication of the planetary-scale impact of human-induced climate change. The Earth’s day length […]
Climate change projections for small island states are currently limited due to the lack of fine-resolution models. This insufficiency in data and projections presents a pressing concern for these vulnerable regions. As such, there is an urgent call for global and regional collaboration to develop climate projections that are compatible with the scales of these […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Fisheries and aquaculture, essential components of global food systems and economies. Fisheries refer to the harvesting of fish and other aquatic organisms from natural habitats such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, while aquaculture, also known as fish farming, involves the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants […]
