As the global population continues to rise, the pressure on our agricultural systems grows. How do we feed billions of people without further damaging the environment? The answer lies in sustainable agriculture—a way of producing food that works with nature rather than against it. Sustainable farming practices prioritize the health of the soil, water, and […]

The future of energy is green. With the growing urgency to tackle climate change, the shift toward renewable energy sources is no longer just a trend—it’s a necessity. From solar panels to wind turbines to hydropower, green energy offers a sustainable solution to our ever-increasing energy demands. One of the main advantages of green energy

In a world where consumption is rampant, the idea of living with zero waste can seem impossible. However, the zero-waste lifestyle is gaining traction and proving that small changes can lead to big environmental impacts. By rethinking how we purchase, use, and dispose of goods, individuals can reduce the amount of waste they create while

But what if we told you that urban forests are not only important for aesthetic reasons but are essential to combating some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time? Trees in cities

Introduction The global climate crisis has amplified the need for a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. As the world grapples with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation, renewable energy emerges as a beacon of hope. This article explores the critical role renewable energy plays in combating climate change, its benefits, challenges,

More than two decades of climate change negotiations have produced a series of global climate agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accords, but have nevertheless made very limited progress in curbing global emissions of greenhouse gases. This paper considers whether negotiations can succeed in reaching an agreement that effectively addresses the climate

From the Czech Republic to Spain, Europe has been plagued by devastating floods in late 2024. Climate scientists agree that severe flooding was probably driven by climate change resulting in record-breaking rainfall. Warmer temperatures increase the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere, especially over warmer oceans, which increases the amount of rainfall. Europe is projected to experience a greater

When you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola or a Snickers bar, the price probably doesn’t break the bank. But what if the true cost of the plastic packaging is taken into account at the supermarket checkout? Say, for example, the cost to clean up the pollution from making that plastic, or the cost to manage
