Researchers at Peking University have demonstrated the potential of China's carbon neutrality policies to bring substantial health co-benefits, including reducing air pollution-related mortality. These findings underscore the dual benefits of climate action for both environmental and public health.

With help from AI, MIT scientists developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a region would look after a potential flooding event.

A new study warns that current plans to achieve zero emissions on the grid by 2050 vastly underestimate the required investments in generation and transmission infrastructure. The reason: these plans do not account for climate change’s impacts on water resources. Specifically, changes in water availability caused by climate change could decrease hydropower generation by up to 23% by the year 2050, while electricity demand could increase by 2%.

Researchers and 14 scientific journals worldwide are calling on governments and industry to take coordinated action to collaboratively counter climate change harnessing microbiological research. They propose six areas of action that promise quick and effective solutions. Involved in the initiative is coral researcher Christian Voolstra from the University of Konstanz.
