The year 2025 went down in history as the most destructive forest fire season in the European Union. Satellite analyses from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), which has been managed for a long time by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, (more…)

The public and many policymakers often believe that the catastrophic consequences of climate change will only occur with extreme global warming of 3°C or even 4°C. However, a groundbreaking new study refutes this assumption. It shows that even with so-called „moderate“ (more…)

The question of how many people our planet can actually support has long resonated in the fields of ecology and demography. The latest scientific analyses historical demographic data comes with a serious finding (more…)

Biochar (biochar) is defined as a solid, carbon-rich product resulting from the process pyrolysis – thermochemical decomposition of biomass with limited or completely excluded access to oxygen. (more…)

The year 2025 has become chilling yet searing evidence that climate collapse is no longer just a scientific hypothesis for the distant future, but our devastating present. According to the latest and most alarming messages (more…)

The management of foreign exchange reserves of the National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) is strictly anchored in Act No. 566/1992 Coll., which imposes on the institution the obligation to manage foreign exchange values while respecting the rules of the Eurosystem. However, from the perspective of a quantitative strategist and risk manager, (more…)

In the fight against global warming, methane (CH4) has become our most important „climate emergency brake.“ Although it receives less media coverage than CO2, its short-term impact is devastating. Over a 20-year period, methane is up to 80 times more effective at trapping heat (more…)

The land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector is one of the most effective tools for mitigating climate change. According to scientific estimates, forests can provide up to one third of emissions reductions (mitigation) by 2030. (more…)

Metropolitan areas play a central role in the context of global climate change. More than half of the world's population now lives in cities, and these urban areas are responsible for more than 70 % of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, as well as for (more…)

Sea level rise (SLR) poses a huge and growing risk to vast coastal plains and densely populated river deltas around the world. The latest study however, it reveals (more…)

Many are now well-known for the so-called Climate Stripes (climate bars) – a visual „bar code“ that makes the course of climate change immediately visible. This concept, originally proposed by Professor Ed Hawkins of the University of Reading, serves as (more…)

In 2026, the world faces a critical point in the fight against climate change. Traditional waste management methods, such as landfilling and incineration, are becoming not only environmentally unsustainable, but also economically unviable. (more…)

We are currently facing two parallel global crises: a rapidly aging population and climate change. The two meet at a point that scientists identified as one of the most pressing public health problems – the increase (more…)

Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, known as the EUDR, is a major step forward for the European Union in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. This legislation sets out strict rules for the listing of selected (more…)

Methane (CH₄) is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, contributing approximately 20% of anthropogenic climate change. While public attention often focuses on emissions from agriculture and industry, there are also natural (more…)

The climate crisis today is not just a scientific or technological problem, but above all a profound a moral and existential challenge, which is testing the foundations of our civilization. The current state of the planet is alarming: research shows that (more…)

Climate change is no longer just a distant threat to future generations, but a daily reality experienced by the vast majority of Europeans. A new large-scale report, jointly developed by the European (more…)

Europe is currently at a crucial crossroads, where security has once again become a priority. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and China's growing influence in critical materials have exposed strategic vulnerabilities. (more…)

Cities around the world are becoming hotbeds of growing heat stress, which is driven by a combination of global climate change and rapid urbanization. This phenomenon, known as urban heat island (UHI), (more…)

In the context of the current climate crisis and unprecedented information overload, it is essential to radically rethink the way we communicate about the greatest challenge of the 21st century. This strategy therefore synthesizes and (more…)
