In an article published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research, researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo discuss the need for the production chain to adopt emission reduction practices.

There’s No Time to Be Lost to Reduce Deaths From Heatwaves And Extreme Cold in India, Where Study Took Place 

Findings Suggest That When Areas Invest in Healthcare, and other Social Sectors, Numbers of Extreme Temperature-Related Deaths Drop 

The Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy at the University of Utah has announced this year’s finalists for the $250,000 Wilkes Climate Launch Prize, one of the largest university-affiliate climate awards in the world. The prize is specifically calibrated to support unconventional or first-of-a-kind projects that often have difficulty getting funding.

New research finds that tropical cyclones reduce years of schooling for children in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in areas unaccustomed to frequent storms. Girls are disproportionately affected.

Scientists believe they have found a way to improve warning systems for vulnerable communities threatened by humid heatwaves, which are on the rise due to climate change and can be damaging and even fatal to human health. The University of Leeds led study is the first ever analysis of how patterns of recent rainfall can interact with dry or moist land conditions to influence the risk of extreme humid heat in the global tropics and subtropics.
