In this article, we dig into the craft of customizing your space […]
Scientists have observed dramatic changes in global temperatures over the last several decades. They also know that if we continue on our present course, future temperatures are likely to rise much higher. There is high confidence that a world warming two degrees will lead to increased risks from weather disasters such as wildfires, coastal flooding and inland flash floods; reduced […]
In cities across the United States, 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 50 recent city plans and […]
“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 […]
“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, […]
“Why Planting Trees is Key to Fighting Climate Change”Planting trees is one of the simplest ways to fight climate change. It’s also a solution that appeals to a broad range of people, and is supported by a number of scientists. Trees store carbon dioxide, which is one of the main culprits of global warming. They also release oxygen, which keeps […]
Climate change is a global challenge, but it affects people in different ways. Some groups, such as Indigenous Peoples, people of colour and the low-income, are at a higher risk of suffering its impacts. We have a responsibility to ensure that we are doing all we can to mitigate and adapt to climate change in the best way possible. That […]
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.
