Seven emerging technologies that could help to mitigate the most devastating effects of climate change.
Results for "climate change"
Does responsible climate leadership include research into solar geoengineering?
Very little is known about the effects of solar geoengineering interventions, and many researchers agree that research as well as deployment should be carefully governed.
Climate hope with “positive tipping points”
Small changes in societies’ behaviors could lead to positive cascading effects that will mitigate climate change.
Climate 21: Welcome back to a future world of green energy
The Climate 21 project lays out a program for a multilateral, comprehensive, speedy, and effective change to a green energy infrastructure, one that will help mitigate the negative effects of a changing climate.
Nature can adjust to a new climate, though perhaps not fast enough
Nature is widely adapted to the current climate, making it harder to adjust to a new one.
The Arctic has begun to enter a new climate state
An extensive study shows that the fragile Arctic landscape is changing right before our eyes. While we cannot stop the transformation, we can mitigate its effects if we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change.
Research priorities to support local climate policy
Growing momentum for decentralized climate policy and the falling costs of low‐carbon technologies are creating new climate change mitigation opportunities for subnational actors.
UN: Falling clean energy costs can provide opportunity to boost climate action during COVID-19 recovery
If governments take advantage of the ever-falling price tag of renewables to put clean energy at the heart of COVID-19 economic recovery, they can take a big step towards a healthy world, which is the best insurance policy against global pandemics.
Reflecting sunlight to cool the planet could cause other unintended global changes
Scientists model the effects of spraying aerosols into the stratosphere and discover some unintended consequences.
SARS‐CoV‐2 virulence: Interplay of floating virus‐laden particles, climate, and humans
With the emergence of COVID‐19, it is important to address SARS‐CoV‐2 virulence through the relationship between exhaled particles, the climate, and transfection by interpreting the findings of prior studies.
