Evaluating the impacts of cool pavement on pedestrian-level heat stress indicators

Tucson’s cool-pavement trial delivered little pedestrian heat relief: air temperature increased slightly, wet-bulb globe temperature stayed unchanged, and the study showed why real-world testing matters before scaling urban heat interventions.

Four key facts about climate change and school meal programs

School meals teach healthy, climate-friendly diets while protecting nutrition and learning; smarter procurement and resilient farming can stabilize budgets, support agriculture, and help programs feed more children under climate stress.

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating

Satellite data exposed dozens of giant methane leaks, mostly from oil and gas sites in Turkmenistan, showing poor maintenance drives warming despite many leaks being cheap and easy to fix.

How soil microbes may control the future of our planet

Soil moisture determines whether warming drives carbon loss or storage: drought-stressed microbes release ancient carbon, whereas wetter soils retain more, making microbial processes essential for accurately predicting future climate feedbacks.

Carbon capture in rural South Africa: projects show how fighting climate change can create rural jobs – research

Community-based carbon projects in South Africa’s Eastern Cape created jobs, restored ecosystems, and improved soils, showing climate action gains local support when livelihoods, land rights, and fair benefits advance together.

Climate change is altering Saharan dust – and Europe is downwind

Rising heat, drier soils, and shifting winds may send more Saharan dust toward Europe, worsening air quality and stressing farming and solar energy, even as some ecosystems receive nutrients regionally.
