A groundbreaking study conducted by the Universitetet i Bergen, Norway explores the connection between environmental factors, indoor microbial communities & human health. As we face the challenges of #ClimateChange, comprehending the nuances of our indoor microbiome becomes increasingly crucial.
As per a Centre for Science and Environment study, the life expectancy in #India has decreased by 2.6 years due to the diseases brought on by #AirPollution. Moreover, it has emerged as the most significant risk factor for non-communicable diseases. #StopAirpollution to protect #TheAirWeShare.
Empowering small-scale farmers with adequate knowledge is essential to help them mitigate the effects of #ClimateChange. They require increased social, economic & technological assistance, along with access to high-yield climate-resistant seeds.
As per a Science Magazine study, rising temperatures increase Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD), causing plants to close stomata. This conserves water but reduces CO2 intake, suppressing global photosynthesis & affecting Earth's carbon balance.
This Impact Assessment Report highlights how the pilot phase of 'FOCUS' - the climate change curriculum textbook developed by CAG - was introduced in select schools in Chennai. It measures project outcomes, analysing positive shifts in both students and teachers. The report provides concrete evidence of heightened student awareness, engagement, and empowerment, as well as innovative teaching methods and renewed enthusiasm among educators.
The likelihood of volcanic eruptions coinciding with climate-related storms, droughts, floods or other disasters is increasing due to climate change. This makes planning and responding to crises more challenging.
As our planet faces the growing threat of climate change, the shift towards renewable energy has become more critical than ever. But how do climate change, energy transition, and human rights intersect? Are these issues interconnected, and is the renewable energy industry taking human rights into account? This article delves into these questions and more, exploring the relationship between our changing climate, our progress towards sustainable energy, and the impact on human rights.
Over the past decade, the polar bear population has declined by approximately 40% due to the diminishing Arctic sea ice. As the ice recedes, polar bears are forced to swim longer distances in search of food, leading to higher exhaustion & mortality rates. #ActNow
Candida auris is a dangerous fungal infection with a mortality rate of 30% to 60%. Rising temperatures might allow these fungi to adapt to warmer environments, potentially reducing human resistance to them.
