Water underpins a country’s development, and Chi

Water underpins a country’s development, and China- one of the fastest-growing economies- is of no exception. Water supports the country’s 1.43 billion population and its booming industries, but it is limited and unevenly distributed. In 2005, Former Chinese premier Wen Jiabao warned of the danger of water shortages which he said would threaten the ‘very survival of the Chinese nation’. Climate change is diminishing accessible water resources, triggering a severe water shortage crisis within the national boundary. Massive water projects are being constructed to deal with this shortage crisis, bringing a new range of environmental, social and geopolitical challenges.⁠

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, if food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd-largest contributor of carbon emissions, after the US and China. In terms of area, food waste would be as big as India and Canada combined! ⁠
⁠
The handling of food and its associated greenhouse gas emissions are not far behind those of the energy and transportation industries, thus more attention has been given to food waste and how to reduce its impact on the environment. ⁠

Renewable energy capacity is set to expand 50% bet

Renewable energy capacity is set to expand 50% between 2019 and 2024, led by solar energy. This is according to The International Energy Agency’s ‘Renewable 2019’ report, which found that solar, wind and hydropower projects are rolling out at their fastest rate in four years.⁠
⁠
Renewable electricity is predicted to grow by 1200 GW by 2024, the equivalent of the total electricity capacity of the US! ⁠

Enhanced weathering is a carbon capture technology

Enhanced weathering is a carbon capture technology in which ocean alkalinity is increased through depositing rock particles into the ocean. This simple-sounding solution may accelerate oceanic uptake of carbon in the least intrusive and most cost-effective way, but scientists have concerns about the impact it will have on marine ecosystems.⁠

The climate crisis is threatening human lives through not only the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, but also the increasing rates of diseases and pathogens. ⁠
⁠
Changing temperatures and rain patterns have increased the emergence of new and old infectious diseases. In 2016, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia, Russia was shown to have been triggered by an unusual heat wave that thawed the permafrost in the area and with it, a reindeer carcass infected with anthrax decades previously. The outbreak killed more than 2000 reindeer and hospitalised more than 100 people. ⁠

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been slated as the future of finance. However, are cryptocurrencies harming the environment? More light is being shed on their environmental impact as studies determine that each Bitcoin transaction consumes large amounts of electricity, a problematic finding as the world looks to make the shift towards green energy.⁠

⁠The health of our oceans has been steadily declining over the past century due to pollution, overfishing and a warming climate. ⁠
⁠
Global surface sea level temperatures have been increasing at an average rate of 0.13°F per decade from 1901 to 2015. While this may not seem like a large change, the warming of ocean temperatures carries serious consequences for the planet. ⁠

When global grain prices inflated expeditiously be

When global grain prices inflated expeditiously between 2007 and 2008, transnational agricultural land deals surged. With its low-cost labour and cheap and relatively less-exploited land, Sub-saharan Africa and parts of Asia became the most targeted investment destination for foreign private and state-owned companies.⁠
⁠
However, while foreign land transactions could bring benefits to both the investing and hosting countries, various social and environmental concerns arise.⁠

Plastic is an inevitable part of consumer behaviou

Plastic is an inevitable part of consumer behaviour, with the packaging sector responsible for almost half of the plastic in the world. A new report says that if the growth of plastic production continues at the current rate, the plastic industry could account for 20% of the world’s total oil consumption by 2050. Additionally, plastic degrades into fine nano-sized particles that are harmful to animals and stay in food chains. ⁠
⁠
However, some practical challenges need to be addressed in order to reduce our reliance on the substance.⁠

As the consequences of climate change become increasingly apparent, the general public has been calling for governments to take responsibility and act to tackle the climate crisis. While some have declared states of 'climate emergency', whether these are simply hollow words remain unclear. Will this turn into policy or is it just hot air?⁠

A lack of government oversight and antitrust law e

A lack of government oversight and antitrust law enforcement has given rise to the ‘Big 4’- four major firms who control more than 60% of global proprietary seed sales. When these providers make money at the expense of their customers’ health and the environment- as seen with agrochemical company Monsanto- it impacts on the ability to ensure a sustainable food supply for the planet’s ever-growing population. ⁠

‘Fast fashion’ clothing retailers like Zara, Forever 21 and H&M make cheap and fashionable clothing, but the cost comes at a high price. ⁠
⁠
Fashion production comprises 10% of total global carbon emissions, as much as the European Union. It dries up water sources and pollutes rivers and streams, while 85% of all textiles go to dumps each year. Even washing clothes releases 500,000 tons of microfibers into the ocean each year, the equivalent of 50 billion plastic bottles.⁠

The Chinese government plans to phase out the production, sale and use of many single-use plastics, including plastic straws and bags, across the country by 2025. ⁠
⁠
Plastic pollution is one of China’s biggest environmental problems, as large amounts of plastic waste end up in landfills or dumped in rivers. According to the World Economic Forum, the Yangtze river carries more plastic pollution into the ocean than any other waterway in the world. ⁠

With 50% of carbon emissions attributed to the ric

With 50% of carbon emissions attributed to the richest 10% in the world, and 10% of emissions attributed to the poorer 50% of the world, it raises the question of who contributes to the climate crisis and who really suffers the consequences of it. ⁠
⁠
The complexities of global trade raise questions about how best to address the way countries fairly compensate for their environmental impact on others. Pricing carbon, specifically through a carbon tax, is one such way to address these equity issues and reduce global carbon emissions. ⁠

The climate crisis will hit the water cycle the hardest. Many of the negative and most severe impacts of climate change are manifested through changes to the water cycle. Climate change will severely alter the quantity, quality and spatial distribution of global water resources. Consequent increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme events like droughts and floods will have significant implications for water scarcity and human well-being.⁠
⁠
Water needs to be collaboratively managed on a global level to ensure that the best responses to these challenges are implemented. ⁠

If the world is to meet the UN Sustainable Develop

If the world is to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG13), which demands urgent action to tackle the climate crisis, companies in every sector must act. So-called ‘green business’ refers to a model in which companies have no negative impact on the environment, economy or community. ⁠
⁠
Consumer perception is shifting with a green goal in mind. Products, foods and lifestyles with a high carbon footprint are seeing a decline in popularity as consumer awareness of environmental issues increases. A recent study found that over 60% of consumers believe that climate-related issues are the most important issues facing the world, with 75% saying that they have changed their consumption patterns towards a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. ⁠
⁠
However, is ‘green growth’ little more than a myth? ⁠

Insects are vital to keep the world’s ecosystems afloat. Insects perform vital roles such as pollination, seed dispersal and nutrient recycling. They are also food for numerous larger animals, including birds, bats, fish, amphibians and lizards. If one section of the food chain disappears in a given area, the entire system could collapse.⁠

Although no industrialised nation is on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets as of September 2019, the co-chairs encouraged scientists in Hong Kong and around the globe to conduct more regional and attribution studies on climate projections to reduce uncertainties surrounding the climate crisis and provide more economical justifications for policy changes.⁠

Between 1997 and 2018, the US has lost 98,000 square miles of farmland. China reportedly loses 7,700 square miles of precious agricultural land each year and by 2040, abandoned land in the EU could amount to 82,000 square miles!⁠
⁠
Globally, agricultural land is being abandoned after years of unsustainable cultivation methods; among other factors, the use of chemical fertilisers has left land depleted to the point of no return. Initiatives to restore these lands to use as tools in the fight against the climate crisis are underway.⁠

Coral reefs are among the most valuable ecosystems

Coral reefs are among the most valuable ecosystems on the planet. Besides containing one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, coral reefs protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms, are a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for marine food chains, assist in nitrogen and carbon fixing and are a source of income for millions of people around the world. ⁠
⁠
However, coral reefs are facing events of severe bleaching and physical destruction due to human coastal development, as well as the effects of unmanaged tourism, including anchoring, fish feeding, marine litter and diver contact. ⁠
⁠
Their resilience depends on effective management, thus resilience-based management is being adopted in major reef regions around the world to secure the foundations for sustainable development and adapt to global warming.⁠

Bushfires tearing through southeastern Australia h

Bushfires tearing through southeastern Australia have killed at least 25 people and burnt over 14.8 million acres of land. It is feared that a billion animals have perished, nearly 2000 homes have been burnt down and thousands took to beaches for refuge. The smoke from the bushfire is so dense that glaciers in New Zealand have turned brown from ash and smoke. ⁠
⁠
Adding to the chaos is Australia’s own government, who continue to deny the link between the fires and the climate crisis and intend to use an accounting loophole to reduce its emissions reduction efforts. ⁠
