One of the biggest existential crises facing 21st century society is, of course, the amount of water we have available, with resources around the world dwindling relatively rapidly in the face of pressures such as population growth, pollution, climate change, extreme weather events and urbanisation. Experts predict that demand will outstrip supply by 40 per cent come 2030, a mere five years ...
Boron’s stable isotopes, as represented by δ¹¹B, have emerged as a powerful tool in paleoceanography and climate science. This geochemical proxy provides insight into the marine environmental chemistry on modern and geological timescales with particular implications for the carbon cycle, ocean acidification, and broader climate interpretations. By analyzing the boron ...
The emission of greenhouse gases like methane contributes to the intensification of climate change, accelerating global warming and exacerbating its dire effects. ...
Predictability and sustainability for our economy and society Setting a 2040 climate target will help European industry, investors, citizens and governments to make decisions in this decade that will keep the EU on track to meet its climate neutrality objective in 2050. ...
To mitigate the risks of living in extreme heat, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are working with city, state, and federal agencies as well as nonprofits to develop policy recommendations and toolkits that will help disadvantaged communities adapt and thrive in a warming climate. “Our primary concerns ...
By Theresa DuqueLimiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels will require severely cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. ...
In most cases, intermediate accelerated aging studies at 30°C and 65% relative humidity (RH) are adopted, aiming to modestly increase the rate of chemical degradation or physical change of a substance or product intended for storage in a warm climate region. In addition, CD Formulation also offers the following stability conditions for customers’ choices: l 25°C ...
The Race to Zero and Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaigns are designed to help mobilize support from businesses, cities, regions and investors for a healthy and resilient zero-carbon economy in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. "Climate change is one of the preeminent challenges of our time, and PSEG has an obligation to help address ...
As our attention is turned towards the ways businesses can act now to limit warming to 1.5°C, some terms used can lead to confusion. This blog discusses the difference between terms such as ‘GHG’ and ‘carbon’ emissions and their connection to climate change. ...

“Earthday.org is honored that the Biden Administration has decided to convene a global climate summit on Earth Day 2021, said Earthday.org President Kathleen Rogers. “Many important environmental events have happened on Earth Day since it began in the United States in 1970, including the recent signing of the Paris Agreement.” “Earth Day continues to be a momentous and ...
Environmental concerns, especially about the consequences of climate change, are on the minds of U.S. President Joe Biden and the European leaders he has met with over the past two days. On Monday, after attending the G7 meeting in the UK, President Biden met with the United States’ NATO allies in Brussels. Many firsts marked the meeting. This is President Biden’s first ...
And the Southern Ocean would begin to warm: it could warm enough to hasten the disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet, to accelerate the rise of global sea levels and intensify the whole machinery of global heating. ...
The scale and speed of the efforts demanded by this critical and formidable goal - our best chance of tackling climate change and limiting global warming to 1.5 °C - make this perhaps the greatest challenge humankind has ever faced," said Fatih Birol, the IEA Executive Director. ...
Those activities make it impossible for affected forests to stave off climate change. And a survey of the cooler forests of North America has revealed that these, too, could be surrendering more carbon than they soak up from the atmosphere, thanks to human-triggered climate change and the ever greater hazard of wildfire. ...
Earth Day took place last week, so it’s not too surprising that sustainability has been all over the news, including several exciting Environmental, Safety and Governance (ESG)-related developments: Forty world leaders met last week at the virtual Leaders Summit on Climate ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, later this ...
