The escalating frequency and intensity of extreme climate events, such as severe droughts and floods, pose significant challenges worldwide.
Climate change has increased the demand for renewable energy sources, driving hydropower development.
Even if global warming were to stop completely, the volume of ice in the European Alps would fall by 34% by 2050. If the trend observed over the last 20 years continues at the same rate, however, almost half the volume of ice will be lost as has been demonstrated by scientists from the University of Lausanne (UNIL, Switzerland) in a new international study.
On its own, a 1°C temperature rise might shave off about 5 months, with women and people in developing nations disproportionately affected.
Interest in forest restoration has increased in recent years, both on the part of companies and financial markets and in academia and government.
The research team led by Dr. Youn Min Hye, from the Carbon Conversion Research Lab at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a smart lab.
When combined with data from tree-ring records, stalagmites can open up a unique archive to study natural climate fluctuations across hundreds of years, a research team including geoscientists from Heidelberg University and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have demonstrated.
In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb global warming, the U.S. has enacted several ambitious federal laws, such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed in 2022 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021.
