Wetter Here, Drier There: How Climate Change Is Reshaping Water Risk
Climate change is shifting rainfall patterns worldwide. Nearly 500 million people now live in wetter climates than what was typical in the 20th century—mainly in mid to high latitudes. Meanwhile, over 160 million people, mostly in tropical and subtropical areas, face unusually dry conditions. Beyond just changes in average rainfall, shifts in rainfall timing and river flows are also becoming more noticeable. These changes are beginning to bring serious social impacts and grow

Understanding Water Security in a Changing Climate
Water is fundamental to both societal well-being and ecosystem health. However, water security encompasses more than mere availability; it requires sufficient quantity and quality, along with reliable and acceptable access.
An estimated 1.5 to 2.5 billion people currently face water scarcity, a figure projected to rise to 3 billion at 2°C and 4 billion at 4°C of global warming by 2050.

Mosquitoes, Ticks, and Warming Climates: A Deadly Mix
Climate change disrupts the balance between pathogens, vectors, and hosts. Rising temperatures let disease-carrying insects spread into new areas and stay active longer, expanding the transmission window. Without urgent action, we’ll face increasing cases of vector-borne diseases.

Protectors or Troublemakers: A Dive into Earth’s Greenhouse Gases
What exactly is Greenhouse Gas? “Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a set of gases that accumulate in the lower layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, and absorb infrared radiation, which contributes to increasing the average temperature of the Earth’s surface” – Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion, 2020 The air around us holds various greenhouse gases like water vapor, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)

Sunlight, Reflection and Absorption: Understanding Earth’s Greenhouse Effect
Have you ever wondered how the Sun’s energy influences our planet’s temperature? Why is it that Earth remains habitable while other planets freeze? This article will unravel the mysteries of the greenhouse effect and its profound impact on our world. The Greenhouse Effect The Earth’s climate is powered by the Sun, emitting energy in short wavelengths, mainly visible or near-visible (such as ultraviolet) rays. About one-third of this solar energy is directly reflected back in
