Air pollution control
Delhi's attempts to bring down pollution levels by creating artificial rain showed some positive results, but data reveals a more complex picture. Despite claims of reduced particulate matter, official monitoring data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) show that air

A new Cornell University study has emphasized the importance of timely emissions reductions in preventing catastrophic sea-level rise. The research, published in Nature Climate Change, models the impacts of different emissions trajectories and finds that the timing of emissions reductions, rather than the rate of reduction, will be key to
Global warming
A new study on sustainability research has been published, highlighting the urgent need for international cooperation on carbon emissions reduction in the global transportation industry. The study, led by researchers from Zhejiang Normal University, used panel data on carbon emissions from 140 countries or regions for a long-term time series
