Forest fires have become a growing concern worldwide, with climate change exacerbating their frequency and intensity. In
the Simlipal region of India, forest fires are relatively rare; however, in 2021, significant damage occurred in the buffer area’s
forests. Understanding the driving factors behind these events is essential for developing...
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami significantly impacted the coastal shoreline
of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, causing widespread destruction of infrastructure and ecological
damage. This study aims to analyze the short- and long-term shoreline changes in South Andaman,
focusing on 2004–2005 (pre- and post-tsunami) and 1990–2023...
B and W are often found enriched in high-temperature geothermal waters associated
with the development of subduction-related mafic to felsic arc magma. However, knowledge about
the sourcing and transportation of these elements from such hydrothermal systems is sparse and
ambiguous. Being the only active continental collision site in the world...
Illegal sand mining has been identified as a significant cause of harm to riverbanks, as it leads to excessive removal of sand from rivers and negatively impacts river shorelines. This investigation aimed to identify instances of shoreline erosion and accretion at illegal sand mining sites along the Chambal River. These sites were selected based on...
Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into climate actions is essential for a healthy planet and people. Yet, national climate policies and international climate support programs often fail to explicitly recognize the interconnections between climate concerns and other priorities covered under the SDGs. This failure can leave key...
T7 Policy brief: Task Force on Wellbeing, Environmental Sustainability, and Just Transition
As the world’s most developed economies, the Group of Seven (G7) countries play a crucial role in leading the transition to net-zero, which necessitates the use of critical minerals (CMs) in various clean energy applications. However, the growing demand...
This report aims to provide an overview of the information related to the plastics value chain in the ASEAN region. It focuses on the availability of local and national data used for material flow analyses (MFAs) – instead of actual data content – as this information aims to be a stocktaking exercise towards building capacity in the area of data...
The expansion of industries and the manufacturing of critical industrial components across multiple territories has set the stage for the perpetuation of transboundary climate risks in global supply chains by taking local risks to a global scale.
Can Tho City is experiencing water stress driven by rapid global changes. This study
assesses the spatiotemporal variation in surface water quality (SWQ) through a multivariate
statistical approach to provide evidence-based scientific information supporting sustainable
water resource management and contributing to achieving the city’s...
