If Americans adhered to global dietary recommendations designed to reduce the impact of food production and consumption, environmental degradation could be reduced by up to 38%. The new research compared the impact of meat,...
China’s efforts to combat aerosol pollution could be exacerbating warming throughout the northern latitudes, say experts. Their model showed that efforts to combat aerosol pollution between 2006 and 2017 resulted in widespread warming. But...
According to a study conducted by Australian researchers, nearly three-quarters of Generation Z’ers are unwilling to eat lab-grown meat. Gen Z are the new kids on the block. As a cohort of 5 million...
Indigenous knowledge has helped native communities adapt to natural hazards and gradually changing conditions. Harnessing this knowledge could in turn support Western scientists in scientific research. Indigenous knowledge, including oral histories, mythologies, place names,...
In 30 years, 1.5 billion people will depend on water from the mountains. A new study shows that many regions can in fact only meet their water demand thanks to mountain runoffs. Global water...
Activists protesting against environmental injustices around the world suffer from high rates of criminalization, physical violence and murder. This is the result of a study developed by researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science...
Arctic researchers want you to know that each metric ton of CO2 causes a loss of 3 m2 of September sea-ice area. We all know we should fly less as a way to reduce...
Between 2005 and 2016, the shift away from coal saved an estimated 26,610 lives and 570 million bushels of crops. The decommissioning of coal-fired power plants in the continental United States has reduced nearby...
Research by a San Francisco State University professor indicates that CEOs are more likely to enact social responsibility efforts when they disagree with the White House. A new study by San Francisco State University...
A new analysis suggests that the increasing average body size of people on Earth, in addition to the growing world population may further challenge attempts to reduce man-made carbon dioxide emissions, according to a...
The last remaining tropical glaciers between the Himalayas and the Andes will disappear in the next decade – and possibly sooner – due to climate change, a new study has found. The researchers believe...
Botanists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that evergreen species such as Christmas favourites, holly and ivy, are more climate-ready in the face of warming temperatures than deciduous trees like birch and oak. Theory...
An international team of researchers have assessed the effects of polar warming. They warn that the consequences are expected to reach far beyond the polar regions. With 2019 on pace as one of the...
New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) suggests that male migration and poor working conditions for women combine with institutional failure or poverty to hamper women’s ability to adapt to climate...
Climate change is reorganizing the life in our oceans in a big way: as waters warm, cold-loving species, from plankton to fish, leave the area and warm water species become more successful. So say...
New research shows the lifelong health consequences of rising temperatures for a child born today under a business-as-usual path. Climate change is already damaging the health of the world’s children and is set to...
New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has quantified the climate and air quality impacts of aviation, broken down by emission type, altitude and location. The MIT team found that growth in...
New numbers reveal a staggering increase in the carbon impacts – 626% higher than previously thought – due to losses of intact tropical forest between 2000 and 2013. A new study in the journal...
An international team of researchers has developed a new roadmap that could lead to the land sector becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and a net carbon sink by 2050. Deforestation, reforestation and carbon cuts...
An international group of ecologists is contesting a popular article on reforestation, arguing that among its mistakes is the proposed ‘reforestation’ of the Cerrado, Brazil’s savannah biome. An article recently published in Science by...
