Our world today stands at the brink of climate change catastrophe. Thanks to indiscriminate combustion of fossil fuels over the last two centuries, we have been heating our planet more than ever, and this could have far-reaching consequences for our current and future generations. Buried deep in the pages of
Climate change has been unleashing catastrophic events all across the world. The number of extreme weather events has only gone up in recent years. Floods, drought, storms, wildfires, rising sea levels have been wreaking havoc on communities causing deaths and destruction and forcing people to migrate en masse to safer places. The
As climate change continues to grow worse, basic necessities such as food, water, housing and health have been threatened for millions of people around the world. Rising sea levels, rapidly melting glaciers on the mountains and shrinking ice cover and sheets in the Arctic, and extreme weather events such as
Climate change is dramatically shifting the mountain landscape all across the world. The ongoing land degradation coupled with increased melting of glaciers, snow and permafrost has been endangering several wildlife species by destroying their habitats and thus putting many on the brink of extinction. One such species is Snow leopards,
Climate change is no more a thing of the future! It is happening right now and its impacts are being felt all over the world. The unabated emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic activities such as combustion of the fossil fuels for our energy needs has
The Middle East has been witnessing unprecedented climatic episodes for the past few years. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have surged dramatically and it is expected that the consequences of climate change would become more pronounced for the region in the upcoming decade. In no other country
Climate change is here, it is no more a looming threat waiting to strike us in the distant future! The surge in the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, tides, bushfires, storms, heatwaves and drought, in addition to rising sea levels, melting glaciers in the Arctic, shrinking water
Our rapid growth and development in the last couple of centuries have come with a cost and that is climate change. With the massive industrial boom and subsequent increase in the demands for energy led to indiscriminate burning of fossil fuels which has been adding skyrocketing emissions of greenhouse gases
Light has always been associated with positivity. But too much of a good thing could be bad for us! Ever since the invention of the electric light bulb some150 years ago, the artificial light has revolutionised the way we spend our waking hours after dusk. From safer streets to prolonged
We have been losing nature’s balance and its ability to sustain life on our planet. The threat to our wildlife has become more pronounced owing to human activities and changes in the climate over the past few years. Many species of animals and plants are on the brink of extinction
