In an era marked by growing awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability, si companies are increasingly aware of the role they can play in limiting emissions and minimizing the impact of their activities on the planet. Reducing the carbon footprint is now a commitment that organizations cannot avoid, not only because national and international regulations set strict rules, but also for reputational reasons: companies must provide a substantial response to the pressure exerted collectively by sensitive consumers . to the issue. Therefore, companies are gradually planning initiatives with a high decarbonization potential, and at the same time, they are starting to specifically engage in social responsibility issues. This proactive approach is consistent with an increasingly popular set of ethical principles and also offers companies the opportunity to establish a privileged communication channel with customers on issues of environment, social affairs and governance (ESG) .

Protesters and lawmakers gathered at the European Union parliament on Tuesday as the bloc prepared a landmark vote on protecting its endangered nature and protecting it from devastating environmental change, a test of the EU's global climate change. Spurred on by climate activist Greta Thunberg, several hundred protesters demanded that the EU push through a bill to boost the restoration of nature in the 27-nation bloc, which has been damaged by decades of industrial expansion. The farmers' counter-demonstration demanded a slower approach that would reduce the impact on their incomes.

Companies should abandon environmental claims based on offsets and instead adopt a "climate contribution" model under the new quality standard. In the new code of practice  Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) has published guidance on how companies should use carbon credits as part of high-quality corporate actions. It recommends that companies publish their emissions each year, demonstrate that they are successfully meeting a science-based target in line with the Paris Agreement and use carbon credits only to contribute to climate change mitigation, moving away from claims that they have "undone" their emissions. emissions by purchasing compensations.

Militaries are responsible for 5.5 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. So why don't they have to report it? When it comes to assessing global emissions, the world's armed forces are usually overlooked. As temperatures reach new highs, scientists and environmental groups are increasing pressure on the UN to force militaries to disclose all their emissions. The long-term exemption denied some of their climate pollution. According to a 2022 estimate by international experts, among the world's largest fuel consumers, militaries account for 5.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. (Euronews Green with Reuters )

China's carbon emissions are now rising faster than before COVID-19 hit, data show, dashing hopes that the pandemic may have set the world's most polluting country on a new emissions trajectory. We compared China's emissions during the first four months of 2019 – before the pandemic – and 2023. Emissions rose by 10 % between the two periods, despite the pandemic and a stagnant economic recovery China. Growth is the driving force behind energy production and industry. Under the Paris Agreement, China committed to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Our analysis suggests that China may struggle to meet these ambitious targets.

Why should this be a cause for concern? Malaria – caused by the Plasmodium parasite – can be a serious and life-threatening disease. There are 240 million cases worldwide each year, with more than 600,000 deaths reported. Infected individuals may develop fever, headache, body aches, and vomiting/diarrhea. Due to the lack of endemic malaria transmission in the US, there has been no existing population-level immunity for several decades. This can facilitate future outbreaks and potentially increase their occurrence. (Matthew Binnicker, Forbes)

As the lead agency within the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction Coordination System, we use our solid expertise and presence in five regional offices to build and develop relationships with national and local governments, intergovernmental organizations, civil society and the private sector. Better decisions about risks require a deeper understanding of their complexity and relation to sustainable development. That's why we collect, collate and share the latest high-quality technical information and data to reduce risk and build resilience more effectively. Hundreds of experts work in our scientific and technical advisory groups, who are key partners to governments and other stakeholders around the world. We work closely with countries to help them build and strengthen integrated risk management systems and implement evidence-based policies in a way that integrates DRR into all areas of governance at local, national and regional levels. A key part of this work is the development and implementation of inclusive and accessible multi-hazard early warning systems. Such systems save lives: in the event of a disaster, the death rate in countries without them is on average eight times higher than in countries that have implemented them. We regularly convene global and regional events that bring together partners, experts, country and community leaders to share experiences and review progress on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, a set of goals and action points intended to protect the benefits of development against the risk of disaster.

Researchers from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah sought to determine how our forest ecosystems might fare in the near future. The authors combined mathematical models and data collected by the US Forest Service and plant physiologists to understand the vulnerability of forests to drought. Their findings suggest that while most forests have the potential to adapt to warmer, drier conditions, they are not changing fast enough to avoid impending stress. The study, published in Global Change Biology, serves as a benchmark for future forest research as well as a guide for conservation and management. (Harrison Tasoff, the current)

Po desaťročia sa ranné správy o počasí spoliehali na rovnaké druhy konvenčných modelov. Predpovede počasia sú teraz pripravené pridať sa k priemyslom, ktoré spôsobila revolúcia vďaka umelej inteligencii. Výskumníci tvrdia, že dva články publikované v stredu vo vedeckom časopise Nature poukazujú na potenciál dvoch nových prístupov k predpovedaniu AI – systémov, ktoré by mohli priniesť rýchlejšie a presnejšie výsledky ako tradičné modely. Sú súčasťou novej vlny modelov AI, ktoré zaplavujú meteorologickú komunitu po celom svete. A majú potenciál transformovať odvetvie prognózovania. (Chelsea Harvey, EE NEWS)

Klimatické opatrenia neoddeliteľne spojené s finančnou stabilitou rozvojových krajín, ktorým žalostne chýbajú bilióny potrebné na zvládnutie tejto výzvy. Tu sú tri nepohodlné pravdy. Po prvé, svet nemôže bojovať proti klimatickým zmenám bez rozvojových krajín. Po druhé, rozvojové krajiny budú potrebovať obrovské sumy investícií na financovanie zmeny klímy – a veľkú časť týchto požadovaných úspor bude potrebné doviezť.

Očarujúca scéna pozdĺž brehov mníchovskej limetkovozelenej rieky Isar v nedávne letné popoludnie prinútila mňa, obyvateľa mimo mesta, chvieť sa závisťou. Zhluky študentov, kancelárskych pracovníkov mimo služby, rodín a nahých opaľujúcich sa ľudí boli roztiahnuté na dekách s fľaškovým pivom a ľahkými jedlami. Z času na čas okolo prešiel plavec alebo hľuza, unášaná rýchlym prúdom. V roku 2000, ešte predtým, ako sa klimatická kríza zrýchlila a letá sa zmenila na útrapy prerušované množstvom  teplotných rekordov , mesto Mníchov podniklo rozsiahlu obnovu rieky Isar, ktorá tečie na sever z Álp cez centrum mesta a do Dunaja. 11-ročné úsilie v hodnote 38 miliónov dolárov  zahŕňalo čistenie vôd Isaru, rozširovanie jeho záplavových oblastí a úpravu brehov tak, aby vyhovovali prudkému jarnému topeniu snehu.

„Faktor teroru“ generovaný novou sériou BBC Earth – ktorá znovu vytvára udalosť zmeny klímy, ktorá pred 250 miliónmi rokov vyhubila väčšinu druhov – by nás mohol „podnietiť k tomu, aby sme niečo urobili“ s environmentálnou krízou, tvrdí jej moderátor. , Chris Packham. Pomocou najnovších vedeckých objavov a vizuálnych efektov ukazuje „biografia Zeme“ BBC paralely medzi smrteľnou zmenou v atmosfére spôsobenou sériou kataklyzmatických erupcií supervulkánu pred miliónmi rokov a emisiami fosílnych palív ľudstva, ktoré podľa Packhama „destabilizujú“. … s hrozivou rýchlosťou“ zemská ochranná vrstva plynov.

Energy efficiency means that less energy is used to achieve the same result. It makes it possible to save energy and reduce emissions from power plants. The 2018 energy efficiency laws are being revised to help the EU meet new ambitious climate targets set out in the European Green Deal for 2021. They will also help reduce Europe's dependence on fossil fuel imports, which come largely from Russia, so as set out in the RepowerEU plan. The EU is simultaneously working on rules to increase the consumption of energy from renewable sources.
