The New Urban Agenda Call Meeting held in the General Assembly of the United Nations focused on this question. Decision makers from around the world...
What is heat index? Why is the temperature that the thermometer does not show more important?
Thermometer shows 35 degrees. But when you go out, the temperature you feel is much higher. This is because not only sun rays; the moisture in the air also directly affects the body's body's body's body's shape. Here at this point the activated heat index, i.e. the preferred temperature. Science people have more frequent over hot air waves with climate change...
Why does the world Cup grow carbon footprint?
According to experts, 2026 World Cup is expected to cause about 9 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions.
Is the solution to climate crisis, a new problem?
The world is becoming increasingly hot. Rekor temperatures are no longer exception, in many regions the summer months become new normal. One of the most visible results is the rapid increase in the use of air conditioning. As in Turkey, air conditioning sales in Mediterranean countries have reached record levels.

But there is a less known face of Adana. This geography extends to the valleys of Amanos Mountains from the high slopes of Toroslar, is home to one of the most rich plant diversity in Turkey...
Is the solution to produce drinking water from sea water, risk?
Belmont Desalination Plant, built in New South Wales province of Australia, is one of the most up-to-date examples of how climate crisis change water policies. The giant concrete structures placed in the depths of the ocean will carry to the purification system, pulling the sea water at about 800 meters open from the coast. With a full capacity in 2028, about 30 million litres per day...
Flying ferry above water: model from Stockholm to the world
A ferry water surface in Stockholm is filtered above a meter and connected 14 islands of the city. The sound is not removed, the wave does not create, does not produce emissions. It was seen as a "interesting experiment" when it started to serve in October 2024. The Swedish Transport Administration pilot project in February 2026 successfully announced. Data net: Travel time halves, the number of passengers increased by 22,5 percent, carbon emissions of 94 percent...
Is there enough measures taken to protect the ecosystem?
Infrastructure projects are indispensable part of modern life. Roads, bridges, buildings are built. However, these structures affect the wild life directly: the migration tracks, disintegrates living spaces, species are compromised. In recent years, some projects adopt a different approach.

What is the super cell phenomenon?
Most sky noisy storm lasts 30-40 minutes and creates local effect. However, some storms continue for hours, have a organized structure and become effective in a much wider area. These storms are called "super cell". The super cell storm observed in Gaziantep at the beginning of May 2026 showed that these systems can be formed in Turkey.

The effect caused by temperature and humidity is measured as wet thermometer temperature and this value is critical for human health. Climate change is often focused on dry air temperature in discussions. Yet the main dangerous for the human body, the combination of temperature and humidity...
