Scientists have long been interested in employing artificial intelligence in scientific research and developing useful technologies. As for climate scientists, they have sought to develop climate models using artificial intelligence to monitor and predict the potential developments regarding the climate changes that the planet is currently experiencing.
In the spring of 2018, the phenomenon of dead Christmas trees began to spread across Canadian fields, first discovered by Anthony Taylor, a forestry professor at the University of New Brunswick.
Researchers have revealed the extent to which zooplankton in seas and oceans are affected by the deterioration in the quality of the materials they feed on due to the increasing alkalinity of seawater, as one of the proposed solutions to make the oceans more capable of absorbing carbon dioxide.
Egyptian actor and singer Mohamed Ramadan has voiced his support for efforts to address climate change, emphasizing that raising awareness about this critical issue through cinema demands creativity and subtlety.
Recent satellite images have unveiled a striking transformation in Antarctica, showing the region becoming 10 times greener than it was 35 years ago. This transformation is attributed to climate change, which has fostered the spread of plant life across the frigid continent.
"Solutions+," a subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, launched an innovative initiative titled "Project Decarb 2.0," aimed at accelerating the decarbonization journey of small and medium-sized enterprises across Abu Dhabi.
During her speech at the "One Water" summit in the margin of COP16 of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, President of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), affirmed the crucial role of freshwater ecosystems in addressing global sustainability challenges.
Agricultural pesticides are used as a form of protection for crops and to maintain optimal levels of production; they prevent pests and weeds from ruining the harvest. Just like medicine, we spray those pesticides in specific quantities at specific times.
Temperate rainforests are located in limited areas, such as parts of Western Europe, South America, and North America. They are thus considered one of the rare types of forests due to their limited distribution, making them the focus of scientists and researchers who seek to preserve and study them thoroughly to enhance their understanding of them.
In an effort to monitor changes in Antarctica and strengthen the global response to climate change, China announced this week that its first atmospheric monitoring station in Antarctica began operations.
The record-breaking droughts are becoming a new normal around the globe, prompting officials to radically reconsider their management strategies.
Forests stand out in climate action negotiations, as they are one of the most important and effective climate solutions. Researchers and specialized scientists extensively study forests because they are crucial for combating climate change, are one of the most complex ecosystems, and are rich in biodiversity, making their preservation urgent.
River deltas, such as the iconic Nile River Delta in Egypt, are scattered across the globe. These fan-shaped or triangular landforms at river mouths hold immense cultural, economic, and agricultural value due to their fertile soils. Despite their significance, these regions face mounting vulnerabilities as climate change accelerates. Scientists strive to develop effective solutions to safeguard these critical areas from escalating threats.
Despite the harsh climatic conditions in the Arctic, many living organisms cannot survive there. However, there are numerous organisms that thrive in these cold regions, adapting only to the extreme weather conditions. This means they possess unique traits, which require preservation.
The 16th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP16) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) will kick off in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Monday, December 2 to 13, 2024, under the slogan "Our Land... Our Future."
