Researchers have detailed the evidence on the health impacts of climate change in Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on who, where, and what activities are most vulnerable. The review, conducted from February to October 2024, analyzed 61 papers from 2,265 initially screened. The results reveal that temperature and extreme precipitation
Foreign economic assistance
A new study conducted by the University of Massachusetts has sparked discussions on the potential shift from traditional foreign aid to a more collaborative and sustainable approach to global challenges. The research, published in the Development Policy Review, argues that the current model of Official Development Assistance (ODA) is "

As part of efforts to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the UK's Climate Change Committee recommends increasing woodland cover from 13% to 17-19% of the UK area. A new study on climate change has found that woodlands sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which could help
Global warming
Research conducted by the Department of Civil Engineering has demonstrated the significant effects of climate change on water resources in the Brahmani Basin in Odisha, India. The study highlights the need for sustainable management of surface water and the application of machine learning models to improve water quality forecast accuracy.

Researchers from Northwest A&F University have conducted a comprehensive study on the spatiotemporal distributions and drivers of carbon monoxide (CO) in China's Shaanxi Province from 2013 to 2022. By integrating satellite remote sensing data with ground-based measurements, the study provides a unique dataset that enables enhanced
Global warming
Research conducted by scientists from Nanjing Agricultural University has shown that the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration due to global climate change affects both plants and herbivorous insects. The study, which was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Postgraduate Research & Practice Innovation Program
Global warming
Researchers have made significant findings in understanding the relationship between greenhouse gas concentrations and climate change in a warmer-than-modern world. By analyzing paleoceanography data, scientists have reconstructed atmospheric CO2 concentration in the Late Miocene, a period crucial for understanding Earth's climate history. The study highlights the importance of
Global warming
Research has been conducted to develop a flood susceptibility model for Demak District, Indonesia, by integrating remote sensing data, machine learning techniques, and CMIP6 Global Climate Model (GCM) data. The study aimed to develop a reliable model for predicting flood-prone areas and providing valuable sustainable planning insights for flood risk
