Experts Advocate for Sustainable Urban Planning to Minimize the Impact of Heatwaves in Africa

Due to global warming, heatwave events will likely cause severe damage to natural ecosystems and human society. Urban areas are at higher risk owing to the significant economic activities carried out there and the populations residing in them. As such, it is becoming important to understand the characteristics of recent changes in heatwave patterns.

Findings Provide Unique Insights to Better Understand Climate Change in the Arctic

The tiny particles suspended in the air known as aerosols play an important role in heating and cooling our planet, but their effects still aren't fully understood. The particles can occur naturally, such as from volcanoes, forests and oceans, or be produced by human activity, such as fossil-fuel combustion and industrial manufacturing.

Actions to Reduce CO2 Emissions Could Limit the Rising Temperature of Swiss Rivers

According to an EPFL study, if we take immediate measures to reduce CO2 emissions, we could limit the rise in the temperature of Swiss rivers to 1 degree Celsius between now and 2090 without drastically affecting their discharge. Inaction, on the other hand, would threaten ecosystems and jeopardize the country's agriculture sector and electricity production.
