In cities across the United States,Climate solutions every city should implement, cities and towns are taking action to decrease their greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change impacts and address environmental justice concerns. Cities have been leading the way in sustainability and climate innovation, and their climate action plans serve as a blueprint for tackling these issues at scale. NLC examined […]
How cities can address the climate challenge,As global warming threatens to wreak havoc on the planet, governments, businesses and citizens are taking action to fight the problem. But it will take more than a shift in energy consumption habits and demands from leaders to bring the world to a sustainable future. One way to help reduce climate change is to […]
“Surviving the Climate Challenge” Climate change is already wreaking havoc on the planet, from hurricanes and melting polar ice to escalating food and water crises. And if we don’t tackle this challenge now, it will only get worse. We must keep global warming below two degrees Celsius, which is a tipping point at which small changes have profound impacts on […]
Climate change is a natural process: “Understanding the Climate Challenge”There are many natural factors that influence climate, such as the sun’s intensity and volcanic eruptions. However, it is now obvious that the climatic warming seen in the last century is a product of human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, the most important of these gases, […]
Our oceans play an integral role in global climate and weather patterns. Nevertheless, they are also vulnerable to the effects of climate change.Warming oceans have been linked to ice-melting, sea level rise and ocean acidification. These impacts are causing unprecedented cascading effects. Temperature As Earth warms, the ocean absorbs more heat, affecting our weather and climate. This is largely caused […]
Climate change is an increasing threat to all life on Earth, from the plants and animals that we love to our air and water. It’s a crisis we must tackle now. Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet, causing sea levels to rise, melting glaciers and ice sheets, and intensifying extreme weather events like heat waves and hurricanes. 1. […]
Adapting to climate change means decreasing our exposure to its adverse effects. That can include building flood defenses, installing early warning systems for cyclones and drought, switching to drought-resistant crops, and redesigning communication systems, and business operations – just to name a few! Adaptation also considers slow-onset hazards not normally addressed in traditional disaster management plans, such as sea level […]
Can Climate Change Be Reversed? Climate change is a long-term shift in the way the climate works. It is caused mainly by human activity that releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, warming our planet by absorbing and reflecting sunlight. The warming is causing extreme weather, including heat waves […]
The Climate Case Study You’ll Never Forget focuses on how our planet’s climate is changing, and how these changes have had significant impacts on the way we live our lives. From our food to our air and water, from our infrastructure to our ecosystems, the impacts of climate change are now a reality that we cannot afford to ignore.These impacts […]
