Nearly 90% of the world's glaciers are located in Antarctica, with the remaining 10% found in the Greenland ice cap. According to the World Wildlife Fund, the glacial melt currently observed in Antarctica and Greenland is altering the circulation patterns

Nitrous oxide has emerged as a leading ozone-depleting substance resulting from human activities. This potent greenhouse gas is generated by coal power plants, industrial emissions, and vehicle exhaust. At elevated concentrations, nitrous oxide contribute

“I invite you to take action in three ways; make conscious choices to stop polluting wetlands, join the global efforts to conserve and sustainably manage wetlands and take part in wetland restoration efforts locally wherever you live. Be a part of the sol

According to a study by Global Change Biology, poorly planned tree planting could actually increase CO2 emissions and have long-term impacts on biodiversity, landscapes and livelihoods.

According to research documented in books and movies, extreme temperatures could lead to the end of the world in ways that might prove irreversible. Poor air quality, heat waves, floods and rising sea levels may plague the planet.

But why is this important? Glaciers and ice sheets store approximately 70% of the world’s fresh water, which are rising at unprecedented rates due to rising global temperatures. The day will raise awareness on the importance of glaciers, snow and ice in t

Remarkably, 2024 was the warmest year across nearly all continental regions, with the exception of Australasia and Antarctica. Contributing factors to this dramatic increase in global temperatures include warming in tropical oceans and northern mid-latitu

AI-driven predictions are invaluable for global leaders and agricultural sectors, providing critical guidance to farmers on planting cycles and crop management based on anticipated weather patterns. This not only boosts food production but also helps miti

A major reason why some leaders may choose to stay away is the pressure they face from powerful industries. Many world leaders are heavily influenced by fossil fuel industries, which have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

As global leaders, climate scientists, indigenous communities, and business leaders gather at COP 29, they will drive crucial conversations about climate action. The conference, which began on November 11, 2024 runs until November 22, 2024, carries a hist

The report reveals that even if all submitted Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are fully implemented, global emissions are projected to decrease by only 2.6% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.

One of the most effective ways to implement the "polluters must pay" principle is through carbon pricing. This involves charging companies for the carbon emissions they produce. By putting a price on carbon, governments can encourage businesses to reduce
