A pilot toolkit for Local Authority land managers that prioritises and enhances carbon storage combined with increasing biodiversity in line with environmental policies.

This fall an international group of scientists, practitioners, students, donors, film-makers, policy makers and diplomats gathered in Nairobi for the annual Forest and Livelihoods meeting – known as FLARE.

Shore power connects ships to land-side power networks, so they don’t need to burn fuel oil in their auxiliary engines to produce electricity for onboard use while in port, reducing air pollution

What happens in early decades is crucial. Tyndall research sets out what this insight means for the shipping sector:

Shore power connects ships to land-side power networks, so they don’t need to burn fuel oil in their auxiliary engines to produce electricity for onboard use while in port, reducing air pollution

There is a rapidly-depleting “carbon budget” of CO2 emissions the shipping sector can emit in future, if it is to do its part in keeping global temperature rise below 1.5°C.

This post builds on the article ‘Economic well-being and self-placements on a Left-Right scale: Evidence from undergraduate students in seven countries’, which is forthcoming in the Journal of Political Ideologies.

Countries are betting on forests and soils to mop up their remaining “difficult-to-decarbonise” emissions to achieve their climate targets.

Audience travel is widely acknowledged as a major component of the overall contribution live music makes to climate change.

This briefing has been prepared for a meeting of the members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the East of England

Harsh Vasani, Toby S. James and Holly Ann Garnett assess the likely impact of the bill and the potential lessons other countries could draw from it.

As climate change makes hot and dry conditions – often termed “fire weather” – more common and severe, vegetation dries out and landscapes become more flammable, pushing up the odds of dangerous wildfires.

A medida que el clima se calienta, los episodios de sequía, altas temperaturas y baja humedad se vuelven más frecuentes y extremos.

Ethiopian farmers are increasingly cultivating grass pea, a hardy crop ideally suited to the weather extremes that climate change will bring.

The BSIM can analyse individual elements within bioeconomy projects from specific biomass resources, supply chains, technologies, or whole bioeconomy project value chains.

So, we have this year revisited everything that what we do across all our disciplines and universities at UEA, Manchester, Cardiff, Newcastle and Sussex. Where can we together make the biggest, fastest difference?

This document assesses the growing regulatory and societal pressure to limit the impacts of climate change, how this applies to shipping, and the implications of this for Scottish ports and agencies concerned with climate change.

The article focuses on the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to understand the proximate causes for these shifts.

What are the areas where lifestyle changes may be most needed to reach the Government’s longterm climate change and environment goals and commitments?

The Arctic region has warmed at least twice as much as the global average, leading to a number of environmental consequences. The extent and thickness of sea-ice have decreased and rates of permafrost thaw have increased in recent decades.

But what scientists often overlook when predicting the future capacity of these technologies is how society will need to change to accommodate them.

The global pandemic has seen an unprecedented drop in global emissions, with carbon dioxide down about 7% (or 2.6 billion tonnes) in 2020 overall compared to 2019.

Global emissions are expected to decline by about 7% in 2020 (or 2.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide) compared to 2019 — an unprecedented drop due to the slowdown in economic activity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

New scientific publications reviewed since January 2020 strengthen the evidence that climate change increases the frequency and/or severity of fire weather– periods with a high fire risk due to a combination of high temperatures, low humidity, low rainfall and often high winds– in many regions around the world. The western United States is among the regions where the trends in fire weather have been most pronounced in the past at least 40 years. Fire activity is influenced by a range of other factors including land management practices. However, land management alone cannot explain recent increases in wildfire extent and intensity in the western US or southeast Australia because increased fire weather amplifies fire risk where fuels remain available.

With the long-term impact of the current crisis on global economies yet to be understood, a vast number of social enterprises are likely to suffer after the lockdown due to severe constraints to their operations. What will this mean for alternative business in Nigeria and how can one prepare their organisation for this new reality? A recent CUSP workshop engaged with social entrepreneurs, reflecting on their strategies. Here, Adeyemi and colleagues are summarising the learnings.

The numbers of people cycling and walking in public spaces during COVID-19 has skyrocketed. Cities from Bogota to Berlin and Vancouver have expanded bike lanes and public paths to accommodate the extra cycling traffic. In Australia, the New South Wales government is encouraging councils to follow suit.

Earth’s forests oxygenate the atmosphere and store vast quantities of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO₂). But research suggests that the health of these vast ecosystems in large part depends on the work of indigenous people.
