U.S. coastal cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston face a serious risk of flooding from untreated sewage. Due to combined sewage systems and sea level rise, these floods are a growing public health problem.
A new IIASA study reveals that achieving zero waste emissions into aquatic ecosystems by 2030 is unlikely, jeopardizing the Sustainable Development Goals. The authors highlight the urgent need to improve the waste management system in the affected regions.
Scientists predict that uncontrolled carbon emissions will cause tropical rains to shift northward, with significant consequences for agriculture and economies in areas close to the equator, including central Africa, northern South America, and Pacific island states.
More than five thousand years ago, dramatic climate changes transformed North Africa from a fertile region to an arid Sahara. This research reveals how climate milestones, such as intense dry-wet cycles, not only shaped the landscape, but also fostered the development of ancient civilizations.
New research shows how avocado tree pruning residues can be used to produce sustainable food packaging, reducing the use of bioplastics and improving the mechanical properties of packaging. This progress contributes to reducing the environmental footprint of the food industry.
Scientists have found that the summer of 2023 was the warmest in the Northern Hemisphere in two thousand years, surpassing all natural climate variation. This incredible rise in temperature further underscores the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to prevent even worse effects of climate change.
