According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), we need to achieve a reduction of 11.7 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2030 to limit global warming effectively.

Despite the constant reminders, our actions toward the planet show little sign of improvement.

The coral polyps which are the tiny organisms which make up a reef extracts carbon dioxide from the surrounding water to build their calcium carbonate skeletons which locks away carbon dioxide in form of limestone.

Global warming, along with escalating climate disasters, encourages scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to create inventive solutions which bring prospects for sustainable development.

The first ever World Glaciers Day is set to take place on March 21, 2025. The day, declared by the United Nations, aims to raise awareness about the essential role of glaciers in the ecosystem.

Our choices have consequences, and we have to consider their implications. It is also essential to ensure that our actions towards climate change are solving the problem and not shifting the problem. It is also important to note that the effects of climat

CCS involves a multi-step process to prevent CO₂ emissions from entering the atmosphere. The initial step is the capture phase, where CO₂ is separated from other gases generated during industrial activities, such as those in power plants or factories.

In Kenya, the arrival of March rains marks the beginning of the long rains season, a vital period for farmers to plant various crops including maize, beans, and vegetables. But with climate change altering rainfall patterns, farmers are facing a new set o

In a time where there is an increase in the production of greenhouse gasses, global temperatures, outspread wildfires, and extreme weather events, what is the role of forests in regulating climate?

The film ‘Extrapolations’, created by Scott Z. Burns for Apple TV+, depicts how the world would come to a breaking point due to the effects of climate change.

Even though baobabs can survive in dry areas, extended periods of drought put stress on their survival. Moreover, climate change affects the growth and survival of younger baobab’s, putting future populations at risk.

Clean air is a human right. The United Nations General Assembly formally declared this right in 2022, following the UN Human Rights Council's recognition of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment in 2021.

It is exactly 3:23 am writing this piece. I have lost sleep, thinking about the world, and how its ending. I had to wake up, because, whatever you are about to read is very important. So, please take a moment, and read this, it is for your own good. I pro

The expansion of civilization often came at the cost of nature; to make room for industrialization, vast tracts of land had to be cleared, leading to deforestation and habitat loss. This has fostered a pervasive belief that success in industry necessitate

Destroying trees to make room for agriculture is one of the justifications that humans have been using as an excuse. But can agroecology solve that problem? Yes. It is a matter of choice. You can choose not to cut trees. You can also decide to grow trees

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.
