Extreme heat conditions driven by heatwaves and urban heat island effects are placing India's electricity grid under immense pressure, pushing it into uncharted territory.
Indian cities are getting hotter not only because of climate change, but also because of how they are being built. Concrete surfaces, dark roofs, glass façades and reduced green cover absorb and retain heat. This creates the urban heat island…
A 34-year study indicates that viable seed production in five major European tree species has declined by over 30%. Warmer summers are identified as the primary factor, jeopardizing forest regeneration and long-term climate resilience.
Diminishing snowy winters in Himachal Pradesh due to climate change are severely impacting the region's winter tourism industry. Workers reliant on these seasons are facing job losses and forced migration to other destinations.
