Experts have warned that Latin American countries should remain on high alert because this time the rapid change in La Nina may take very little time for the population and crops to recover. Australia's weather bureau said last month that the El Nino phenomenon had ended. “La Niña is likely to impact wheat and corn […]
A study published Friday in Science Advances says climate change is slowing heat waves, leaving humans exposed to extreme temperatures for longer periods of time than ever before. While previous research has found that heat waves are becoming longer, more frequent and more intense due to climate change, the new paper treats heat waves as […]
“This has never happened before, and it's a huge challenge to ensure that all parts of the global time infrastructure show the same time,” said Duncan Agnew, a researcher at the University of California, San Diego. “Many computer programs assume for leap seconds that they are all positive, so these have to be rewritten,” he […]
Bangladesh is one of the countries most affected by climate change. According to a 2021 report by non-profit organization German Watch, Bangladesh ranked seventh among the 10 countries and territories that suffered the most losses from 2000 to 2019. In 2009, the Government of Bangladesh established the Climate Fund with its own money to undertake […]
While El Nino and other effects have played a role in the recent unprecedented heat, scientists insist that the greenhouse gas emissions that humans continue to pump into the atmosphere are the main culprit. The UN's IPCC climate panel has warned that the world is likely to fall within 1.5C of warming by the early […]
The chief guest of the program was Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Sabar Hussain Chaudhary. She said, “Gender equality is a fundamental prerequisite for building climate resilience and achieving sustainable development. Our policies and strategies, such as the 'Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan', the 'National Adaptation Plan', and the 'National Biodiversity Strategy and Actions 'Plan', […]
He said, “Sadly, the climate financing committed and available to date is seriously inadequate. This is further complicated by the absence of an internationally agreed definition of ‘climate financing’ and its accounting methods.” The Prime Minister said she was part of a closed-door meeting of leaders to find a last-minute solution at COP15 in Copenhagen […]
This photo taken on August 16, 2023 shows an iceberg about a few hundred meters long drifting along the Scoresby Sound Fjord in eastern Greenland. The French National Center for Scientific Research is leading an expedition to explore Greenland’s isolated fjords, the planet’s largest fjord system that has been largely unstudied. The expedition, organized by […]
Despite growing evidence of the importance of education about climate and nature, there is a lack of national and global strategies to promote knowledge and green skills through primary, secondary and tertiary education, UNICEF’s Relo said. In Bangladesh, school textbooks already include information related to the environment and climate, but this is not enough to […]
The Global Stocktake (GST) announced during the conference has highlighted several important issues. According to GST, without reduction in carbon emissions, the world’s temperature is projected to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2025. To prevent this scenario, renewable energy use must triple by 2035, and the carbon emission reduction potential of existing energy sources […]
AMOC’s collapse was like watching something that could have caused that plane to “fall out of the sky,” he said. But there is no way to redesign the Earth to make it safer. Co-author Manjana Milkorit of the University of Oslo said that “our global governance system is inadequate to deal with the coming threats […]
Three technologies – solar, wind and electric vehicles – are largely responsible for the improved projections of global warming since 2015. OCED now estimates, “Solar PV is projected to reduce emissions by about three Gt in 2030,” which is roughly equal to the emissions from all the world’s cars on the road today. Compared to […]
Under the Paris Agreement, countries are required to submit deeper emissions reduction plans, known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs. UNEP found that fully implementing “unconditional” NDCs for 2030 – which countries plan to do regardless of external support – would have a 66 percent chance of a 2.9C increase in Earth’s average temperature by […]
“Another month, another unprecedented record. The results are very clear,” Ed Hawkins, professor of climate science at the University of Reading, told the Science Media Centre. “We already have many solutions to get rid of this deadly addiction, but only if different options are chosen to face the issue, and not pretend that it will […]
