Introduction In today’s world, the topic of climate change is at the forefront of many discussions. However, what often gets overlooked is its devastating impact on our marine ecosystems. From the coral reefs known as the “rainforests of the sea” to coastal habitats vital for numerous species, climate change is altering the very fabric of…
Deforestation, the widespread clearing of forests for purposes like logging, agriculture, and urbanization, plays a significant role in climate change. It not only contributes to global warming but also harms the ecological balance of our world. Let’s delve into the various impacts of deforestation on climate change: Deforestation and Carbon Emissions Forests act as carbon…
Climate change poses a significant threat to the future of our planet, and its impact is felt worldwide in various ways. To ensure the survival of humanity and the planet, we must take action to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. Global temperature records are continually being broken, and it is expected…
The way in which a given region or community gets to adapt to climate change highly depends on how it’s affecting them and the location of the region. It’s important that the impacts of climate change are never the same in some areas it’s causing flooding, while in other places it’s heat waves or even…
It has been universally acknowledged that climate change has emerged as a global threat, impacting people’s livelihoods, biodiversity, and the environment. Rising sea levels, warming oceans, and severe droughts pose significant risks to crops. A major contributor to climate change is the emission of carbon dioxide, a pervasive global pollutant. Climate Change and Health Risks…
Climate change is a known threat to the future of the planet, and mitigation strategies should be adopted for the sake of future generations. The effects of climate change are accelerating, calling for increased focus on the issue as it has become a reality that affects all nations worldwide. The major cause of climate change…
Biodiversity refers to variations that exist among the living organisms alongside the ecological complexities that they happen to be part of. Biodiversity is vital for maintaining ecosystem processes and services. When any loss occurs, the functionality of the ecosystem also gets reduced in the process. The loss of biodiversity that has been witnessed in the…
Climate change has a way of magnifying the already existing vulnerabilities and risks that are associated with disasters due to the changing patterns of some of the hazards such as droughts. This occurs as a result of increased population exposure and changes in land use. Natural and human systems are normally influenced by climatic variability…
The impact of climate change is being felt the world over with the global temperatures gradually increasing which is quite scary. The declining soil health is becoming a key issue leading to a reduced yield of crops and increased use of fertilizers and pesticides that only impact more negatively on the climate. Soil health and…
A significant strategy for transforming agriculture into a sustainable and climate-resilient system is agroecology. Farmers, scientists, and policymakers across the world are increasingly embracing agroecological methods as a means of addressing the interrelated problems of food security and climate change. Agroecology involves changing farming landscapes, promoting biodiversity, and reducing the effects of climate change by…
Laney Siegner Mar 31, 2021 A thought-provoking article by Dr. Laney Siegner, Course Director at Terra.do, voicing a collective perspective of Terra.do community members on the idea of climate jobs and navigating a new career. When we think “climate jobs,” many of us probably picture scientists crunching climate models on supercomputers, researchers drafting hundred-page IPCC…
Did you know that a plastic jug can easily take a million years to break down? Isn’t it shocking? Have a look at more incredible facts about plastic pollution in this post. Plastic is now an incontrovertible part of people lives all around. Since its advancement by Alexander Parkes in 1852, it’s been the most…
Are you concerned about climate change and food security? Regenerative agriculture offers a groundbreaking solution. This approach centers on improving soil health, boosting biodiversity, and promoting sustainable farming methods. So let’s dive in and explore how regenerative agriculture is revolutionizing our food systems. A Fresh Approach to Farming For many years, farmers have relied on…
Deforestation, or the extensive loss of trees and plants, poses a severe threat to our environment and human society. So, what exactly are the relationships between deforestation, forest ecosystem resilience, and biodiversity? If we want to implement effective measures to tackle this problem, we must delve into these connections. Let’s take a closer look at…
Innovative solutions are emerging within the agricultural industry as the global community grapples with the urgent need to combat climate change. Much attention is being directed towards carbon farming, a comprehensive strategy aimed at capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through agricultural soils and biomass. Forward-thinking farmers and policymakers worldwide are embracing carbon farming practices as…
