Regardless of our understanding of anthropocentrism or human centricity, it is imperative to recognise that the climate crisis we are encountering is largely man-made. Since the 1800s, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have been the most significant contributor to climate change.
Scientists have warned that planet-warming greenhouse gases will have to be drastically slashed to limit global heating to avoid catastrophic impacts on the Earth and humanity.
2024 is the warmest year on record, surpassing the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C threshold.
Major polluters must help nations most vulnerable to climate change.
A group of lenders, including the World Bank, announced a joint goal on Tuesday of increasing this finance to $120 billion by 2030, a roughly 60% increase on the amount in 2023.
COP29 must secure fair climate finance for vulnerable nations
As COP29 progresses, Bangladesh will be watching closely to see whether the international community can meet the urgency of its climate needs.
Atmospheric concentrations of all three hit new highs in 2023, locking in future temperature increases for years to come, the World Meteorological Organization reported in October.
Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, release significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – disrupting the natural carbon cycle. In 2023, carbon pollution – as a result of human activity – reached a record 37.4 billion tonnes. With such record-breaking carbon emissions, it is getting harder for them to absorb atmospheric carbon.
Experts have warned that the Himalayan region, which is already suffering from severe flooding, notably in the northeastern portion of Bangladesh, may see even more devasting natural disasters brought on by climate change as a result of changing rainfall patterns.
We're witnessing unexpected changes in the global climate following global warming. What are the risks for Bangladesh? How severe are they?
I became fully aware of the environmental challenges that we face when I visited Boracay Island in the Philippines a few years ago. The amazing picturesque beaches with white sand and blue lagoons were disturbed by the over-interest of tourists like me.
Climate change will result in thousands of new viruses spread among animal species by 2070 — and that’s likely to increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases jumping from animals to humans, according to a new study.
The world on Friday observed Earth Day celebrating environmental diversity of Earth and highlighting ways of protecting our habitat, the only place in the known universe where life can survive.
Bangladesh is losing 7 billion working hours annually due to extreme heat exposure caused by global warming, a new study reveals.
The book explores our inability at the level of literature, history, and politics to grasp the scale and violence of climate change.
While 2018 was the fourth-warmest year on record, British meteorologists are predicting the next five years will be much hotter, maybe even record-breaking.
The levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the main driver of climate change, have hit a new record high, the UN says, warning that the time to act is running out.
Researchers find a new way that global warming is bad for the planet: more hungry bugs.
