Climate change has negative repercussions on animal welfare. The "Stress Lab" research study finds that apart from adversely affecting lactation performance, immune function & calf health, heat stress leads to a 35% reduction in milk production…
Rising sea levels and increased saltwater intrusion will impact our transport infrastructure by damaging our bridges, railway lines, and roadways. Climate-proofing our infrastructure by using heat resistant and corrosion-resistant materials,…
The rapid reduction of global coal emissions is crucial to addressing the #ClimateCrisis. Failure to achieve this reduction would make it exceedingly difficult to prevent severe consequences resulting from #ClimateChange. #SayNoToCoal #ActNow
As per a study by Life course and Aging, the probability of severe vision impairment increased with an increase in temperatures. This was more pronounced among individuals aged 65-79 compared to those aged 80 & above, & the trend was more…
Since 1880, #climatechange has caused the average global temperature to climb by 1.1 degrees Celsius (source: NASA). This means the number of really hot days and heat waves has increased with a variety of severe implications. To adapt public…
A recent study published at Ecology Letters sheds light on understanding the mechanisms behind disrupted insect evolution. This can help implement conservation measures that promote adaptation & safeguard insect populations & the ecosystems…
Chennai has seen an increase in the frequency of heavy rains and floods as a result of #climatechange. Flooding hampers daily activity, destroys transit infrastructure like rail stations and bus stops, and creates interruptions in service, leaving…
A new study from TU München reveals that as trees grow faster, their wood density decreases, reducing carbon absorption by up to 50%. This poses challenges for both climate change mitigation and tree resilience against mechanical stresses.
India's transportation sector contributes about 10% of total national GHG emissions, and road transportation contributes about 87% of the total emissions. By cutting back on our trips using private vehicles, we can bring down emissions. Changing the…
