In 2023, World Milk Day, with the theme 'Enjoy Dairy', will focus on showcasing how dairy products reduce their environmental footprint while providing nutritious food and livelihoods. The aim will be to lead an active narrative that integrates the environmental, nutritional and social impacts of the industry. This day is celebrated by all the member states of the United Nations, which organize various events to educate the public about the importance of milk. In our home, however, the rising price of milk and milk products has taken the luster off the nutrient-rich product. Saraswati Devi, a resident of Sailashree Vihar area in Bhubaneswar, said milk and its benefits are incalculable. (Post News Network)

The "Terminator" star, who founded Schwarzenegger's climate initiative and hosts Austria's annual world summit, considers his two decades of work to save the environment his "crusade," he told CBS Sunday. “I'm on a mission to go and cut greenhouse gases around the world," Schwarzenegger said, "because I'm all about a healthy body and a healthy Earth. That's what I'm fighting for. And that is my crusade.' The actor and politician (75) started the Austrian world summit eight years ago as a forum to fight climate change. Conference with takes place in Vienna, about 125 miles north of the actor's hometown of Thal. (Petra Sblendoria)

Key to the fight against climate change, the transition to low-carbon energy has far-reaching effects on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on issues such as resource use, environmental emissions, employment and many others. Here, we assess the potential impacts of power transitions on progress towards multiple Sustainable Development Goals (covering 18 goals within 17 goals) in 49 economies under nine socioeconomic and climate scenarios. We find that a low-carbon energy transition under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP)2.6 scenarios could lead to an approximately 11 % improvement in the global SDG index score from 54.70 in 2015 to 59.89-61.33 in 2100. However, the improvement would was significantly decreased to 4.42 % – 7.40 % and 7.55 % – 8.93 % under the RCP6.0 and RCP4.5 scenarios, respectively.

A group of 15 MPs and senators have written to the federal environment minister, calling on the Albanian government to end the logging of native forests, as pressure to do so grows within Labour. All seven Green independents, including Monique Ryan and Allegra Spender, have been challenged by Greens MP Andrew Wilkie and influential senator David Pocock Tanya Pliberseková , to end the logging of native forests in New South Wales and Tasmania as part of upcoming environmental law reform.

As public concern grows, governments are taking action and implementing environmental targets designed to thwart runaway global warming.

The construction industry is one of the world's biggest causes of environmental degradation and is currently on the way to derailing vital emission targets.

Globally, the industry contributes approximately 23 % to air pollution, 40 % to drinking water pollution and 50 % to all landfills. (Dr. Abdullah Alnuaimi)

People in rich countries can lead cleaner lives faster if governments make it easier for them to get rid of dirty habits. Some of the most powerful tools to stop the planet from warming involve changing the way we eat, heat, move and shop. But lifestyle changes that reduce demand for polluting products, have for the most part proven to be difficult to sell. Electric cars cost more than regular ones. Tofu tastes less like meat than steak. Influencers are constantly pushing people to buy more stuff. (Deutsche Welle (DW))

Terrestrial ecosystems have absorbed approximately 32 % of total anthropogenic CO emissions over the past six decades ₂ ¹ . However, large uncertainties in terrestrial carbon–climate feedbacks make it difficult to predict how terrestrial carbon sequestration will respond to future climate change ² . Interannual changes in the growth rate of atmospheric CO ₂ (CGR) are dominated by land-atmosphere carbon fluxes in the tropics, providing an opportunity to investigate carbon-climate interactions on land ^{3 , 4 , 5 , 6} . CGR changes are believed to be largely controlled by temperature ^{7 , 8 , 9, 10} , but there is also evidence of a close relationship between water availability and CGR ¹¹ . Here we use records of global atmospheric CO ₂ , terrestrial water storage, and precipitation data to investigate changes in the interannual relationship between tropical landscape climatic conditions and CGR in a changing climate. We find that the interannual relationship between tropical water availability and CGR has become increasingly negative in 1989–2018 compared to 1960–1989. This could be related to spatiotemporal changes in tropical water availability anomalies caused by shifts in the El Niño/Southern Oscillation teleconnection, including decreasing spatial compensatory effects of water ⁹.

Top scientists have highlighted the importance of carbon sequestration in forests as they play an irreplaceable role in reducing carbon in the atmosphere and ultimately in the fight against climate change. Yin Weilun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former director of Beijing Forestry University, said forests and grasslands have a unique position in the fight against global climate change. Forest carbon sinks are plants that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix it in vegetation or soil, reducing the concentration of the gas, Yin said. (LI HONGYANG, ChinaDaily)

The state of danger facing the Earth is so severe that at current life trends the Earth will soon be unable to support human life, say two climate scientists speaking at the inaugural Innovation Zero Congress in London. Professors Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and Sir David King, founder and chairman of Cambridge's Center for Climate Repair, said failure to limit global temperatures to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels was likely to trigger a tipping point. points, destroying rainforests and marine life while making vast areas around the tropics uninhabitable for human life.(Mike Scialom)

The cost of carbon offsets could double for companies by 2030, according to new analysis. International professional services firm Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) recently published a report revealing that FTSE 350 companies have publicly announced voluntary purchases of carbon offsets worth £38m in 2022. However, analysis of BloombergNEF forecasts suggests that the same amount of offsets could cost companies by the end decade worth more than £154 million, a significant increase of 256 %.
