Analysts say that technology and stricter emission controls may help, but the economic and climate feasibility of exploiting Venezuelan oil may remain a thorn in the flesh.
Coffee, the aromatic beloved beverage that fuels millions every morning, is facing an unprecedented challenge. Climate change and global warming are shaking the very roots of coffee plantations worldwide.
The free-living amoebae, also known as brain-eating amoeba, are becoming a growing global public health threat, warned a new study.
The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere on Earth, and new research reveals why. Using aircraft and ground measurements, scientists found that openings in sea ice boost cloud formation while pollution from oil fields alters Arctic chemistry. Together, these processes form powerful feedback loops that trap heat and speed ice loss. The findings highlight how local Arc...
The Aravalli Hills one of the world's oldest mountain ranges and an ecologically sensitive zone that supports biodiversity, recharges groundwater, and regulates climate across northern India is at the centre of a legal and political storm.
Temperatures remained high despite the presence of a La Nina, the occasional natural cooling of Pacific Ocean waters that influences weather worldwide. Researchers cited the continued burning of fossil fuels that send greenhouse gases into atmosphere
Deep in Iraq's southern desert, bulldozers and earthmovers spread layers of moist clay over sand dunes as part of a broader effort to fight increasingly frequent sandstorms.
The 2025 Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic is warming faster than expected, with record heat, shrinking ice, stronger storms, and rusting rivers. Scientists warn that rising temperatures are reshaping ecosystems, threatening water safety, and increasing risks for Arctic communities. The changes highlight how quickly climate impacts are unfolding, with consequences r...
Air pollution is arguably the biggest public health crisis India has faced since the pandemic and will continue to worsen each year unless urgent action is taken, a UK-based Indian-origin pulmonologist warned.
At a time when Kedarnath in Uttarakhand is usually covered in at least five feet of snow,the hill shrine till Tuesday did not witness any snowfall, raising an alarm among environmentalists.
Anthropic has released an open-source tool called Bloom to test how AI models behave under normal and stressful conditions. Bloom automates behavioural testing by generating scenarios, running them at scale, and scoring responses for traits like bias or sycophancy. Anthropic says it simplifies a process that was previously manual and time-consuming.
It might have seemed in 2025 that every piece of bad news for the global climate and energy transition had some sort of connection to President Donald Trump. If only it were so simple.
In a region that has already paid dearly for environmental shortcuts, redefining protection before completing the science is a risk India cannot afford.
Researchers at the US' University of California Santa Barbara looked at how exposure to extremely hot, humid conditions during pregnancy can impact children's health in the populous continent.
In 2025, extreme weather events battered India, leaving behind a trail of destruction-from flash floods and landslides in the hills to devastating floods in the plains. Official data reveals the staggering human and economic cost of these disasters.
Hundreds of people across Japan will sue the central government Thursday seeking damages for "unconstitutional" inaction on climate change, the country's first such litigation.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah linked the Valley's tourism with global climate change, saying that the reality of climate change cannot be ignored any further, and the tourism in famed Gulmarg is dependent on snow.
Private satellites tracked methane emissions from thousands of oil, gas, and coal facilities globally, revealing major hotspots and providing crucial data for targeted climate action.
Data-driven forecasting can help governments and companies make better clean energy investment decisions. Involving stakeholders and validating models improves reliability and increases success in climate, economic, and societal outcomes.
While speaking on extreme weather events, an expert said that "the disasters of today will become the new normal of tomorrow."
Previously unknown volcanic eruptions may have kicked off an unlikely series of events that brought the Black Death -- the most devastating pandemic in human history -- to the shores of mediaeval Europe, new research has revealed.
As India accounts for one-third of global dengue cases, medical experts speaking to NDTV warn that the country needs urgent interventions, stronger public awareness, and a coordinated national response.
Hot air evaporates a lot more water, so crops, forests and landscapes in some areas dry out, which makes them more susceptible to wildfire. Each Celsius degree of warming can cause a sixfold increase in wildfire over parts of the western US.
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene warming.
India has committed to ambitious targets, including a 45 per cent reduction in emissions intensity by 2030 and sourcing 50 per cent of electric power from non-traditional sources
Energy Transitions Innovation Challenge (ENTICE) aims to encourage innovation in sustainable energy solutions and support entrepreneurs
The document, Blueprint for a People-Positive Energy Transition, will work as a guide and offer a roadmap to expedite a sustainable energy transition for India and the world. The document offers essential principles and an actionable plan that will help in the long run
