#DYK seaweed farming is the quickest-growing sector in #aquaculture? Our #CDR program funds seaweed research because it acts as an ocean-based forest, absorbing #CarbonDioxide and storing it when it falls to the sea floor. That's why we're thrilled to spotlight our grantee's interactive StoryMap, "Growing Seaweed in the Golden State." 🌊 In this resource, California Ocean Science Trust explores #SeaweedFarms and research across California, providing valuable insights into the industry’s current state and the science behind seaweed aquaculture. You'll also find stories and perspectives from researchers and practitioners in the field. 👀 Check out the interactive content: https://lnkd.in/gAXHmiUp #CarbonDioxideRemoval #ClimateAction

As global temperatures continue to rise, an increasing number of people will turn to air conditioning to stay cool (if they can afford to). According to data from The Washington Post, around 71% of summer days in the U.S. now require AC, up from 66% in the early 1980s. By 2060, this figure could reach up to 87%. While AC brings a host of benefits to society, it can also place a major strain on power grids and our climate. We must ensure that our growing demand for AC is met with super-efficient, climate-friendly technologies. Passive cooling techniques must also be deployed to reduce the need for air conditioning by naturally improving thermal comfort. How many days will you need AC where you live?

While access to cooling is often taken for granted by many in countries like the U.S. – where most households have some form of air conditioning – roughly 1,500 people in the country still die each year from the impacts of extreme heat. In fact, heat waves claim more lives in the U.S. than any other weather-related event. With some 130 million people across western states currently under an extreme heat warning, it’s essential that we take urgent action to increase access to affordable, efficient, and climate-friendly cooling solutions, particularly for those who face the most significant risks. This need extends far beyond the U.S., with more than 1.1 billion people globally considered to be at high risk from a lack of access to cooling. As the world continues to warm and extreme heat events become more frequent and severe, we must secure clean cooling for all.

💡 New report: “Removing Methane via Atmospheric Oxidation Enhancement: The Legal Framework,” outlines international and U.S. laws related to Atmospheric Oxidation Enhancement approaches, including the release of iron salt or other aerosols on land, ships, or aircraft. Methane, a potent #GreenhouseGas, traps 86 times more heat than #CarbonDioxide over the first 20 years. That's why our collaboration with the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law is an important step in addressing the challenges of atmospheric #methane removal and accelerating scalable climate solutions. 👉 Check out the blog: https://lnkd.in/gXjsbBEb 👉 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gXpRzRBc

It had been a pleasure to work on this report with a group of amazing African scinetists. The report is a collaborative study by the Network of African Science Academies and The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and supported by ClimateWorks Foundation to assess the opportunities and challenges in decarbonizing road transport across the continent. Enjoy reading!
