Climate change is accelerating, and so should the action. We need both mitigation and adaptation strategies to tackle this challenge. Mitigation: which aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions and keep the planet from overheating too much, thereby slowing climate change. Adaptation, meanwhile, is about getting people, communities and ecosystems ready to face the impacts that […]
As the world is engulfed by an increasing number of people, so is the pressure to come up with better ways of utilizing the existing resources without exhausting them over the years. From growing adverse effects of climate change in cities to enhanced energy demands, striking a balance between human developments and the available resources […]
The finite nature of resources has led to questioning the sustainability of the linear ‘take-make-dispose’ paradigm. Rather, an alternative model, the circular economy is emerging where waste is seen as design flaw, and products use and reuse is thought up differently. The idea behind this circular economy is to make sure that materials are only […]
Fashion and consumer goods are among the areas with the highest negative impacts on the environment. That is, from the excessive consumption of scarce resources to the disposal of products. Therefore, embracing sustainability in these sectors is finding means that will help in mitigating this effect as much as possible through responsible sourcing, suitable materials, […]
The act of removing forests,, usually to create room for agriculture, ranching, or urban growth, is known as deforestation. Because they create oxygen, shelter for species, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to slow down climate change, forests are vital.The practice of planting new trees and repairing damaged or lost forests is known as […]
As cities grow, making them sustainable is key to building spaces that are both eco-friendly and enjoyable to live in. By investing in green infrastructure, improving public transit, limiting urban sprawl, and developing sustainable housing, cities can lessen their environmental impact while creating better places for people to live. Green Spaces in the City Green […]
Climate change and overpopulation in the world’s biggest cities call for the need of sustainability in food based practices and means. One such approach is regenerative agriculture – conventional food production technologies are used, whilst recomposing elements of the ecosystems supportive of agriculture. In regenerative agriculture, restoration of the soil health and the biodiversity is […]
The vast array of life on Earth, including all the many plants, animals, insects, and microorganisms, is what biodiversity preservation aims to maintain. Because it maintains ecosystems robust, balanced, and healthy, biodiversity is vital. Every species has a distinct function that it performs in the natural processes that sustain life, such as pollination plants, generating […]
Using renewable energy means producing heat and power without the use of fossil fuels by harnessing natural resources such as the sun, wind, water, and bioenergy. Fossil fuels, which include coal, oil, and natural gas, are scarce resources that produce a lot of pollution, particularly carbon emissions that fuel global warming. Renewable energy is environmentally […]
