How much CO2 can Earth handle? What’s our carbon budget for a safe climate? In today’s blog I will discuss what exactly is carbon budget and what are its types! What is Carbon Budget? The term “carbon budget” is used in various contexts. Most commonly, it refers to the total net amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions permissible for humans while keeping global warming within a certain threshold. This concept involves tallying CO2 emissions from industries, househ

Imagine this! Our Earth, but not as we know it. The forests, once full of life and sound, are now quiet. The big ice caps at the poles have melted because it’s too warm, making the sea levels go up and cover the places near the coast. Many animals and plants that used to be everywhere are now gone. The butterflies don’t flutter around anymore, and the coral reefs under the sea, which used to be full of color and life, are now empty and white. This is what could happen to our

Picture a world where no water comes out when you turn on the tap. This isn’t just a scene from a movie, it’s real for many people. As our planet gets hotter, our water supply is at risk. It this blog I will be exploring how climate change is affecting our water, and what it means for us all. What is Water Security? Water is vital for all aspects of society and ecosystem requirements. The concept of water security is multifaceted and extends beyond mere water availability. I

Positioned between the towering Himalayas in the north and the expansive Bay of Bengal in the south, Bangladesh resides on one of the globe’s most extensive and densely inhabited deltas, where the Jamuna, Padma, and Meghna rivers intersect. Despite its relatively modest contribution to global emissions, Bangladesh stands among the nations most impacted by severe climate conditions. Over the period from 2000 to 2019, Bangladesh encountered 185 instances of extreme weather even

Earth’s climate naturally fluctuates over time, but the current pace and extent of warming are unprecedented. Recent studies show a reversal of a gradual cooling trend, with global surface temperatures now higher than in millennia past. Temperature serves as a crucial marker for understanding climate patterns, especially in assessing global climate change and Earth’s energy balance. Geological evidence reveals a diverse history of temperature fluctuations on Earth. Natural re

The issue of loss and damage is intricately tied to the principles of climate justice and fairness, as it disproportionately affects developing nations and marginalized communities, including those with lower socio-economic status, migrant populations, the elderly, women, and children. Loss and damage can manifest through sudden extreme events such as heatwaves and storms, as well as gradual phenomena like rising sea levels and ocean acidification. Additionally, global effort

Although we often envision climate change as a distant event, it’s happening right now, affecting ecosystems and communities worldwide. So, what exactly is climate change and how will it impact our planet? Put simply, climate change refers to long-term alterations in Earth’s climate, like changes in temperature, rainfall, wind patterns, and sea levels. It can occur naturally due to fluctuations in the sun’s activity or significant volcanic eruptions. However, since the Indu
