Green Talks LIVE | Adapting to a drier world in a changing climate: Launch of...OECD Environment
油
Fuelled by climate change, extreme droughts are becoming more frequent, placing mounting pressure on communities, ecosystems and economies. As impacts intensify across regions and sectors, including in OECD countries, the urgency to build stronger drought resilience has never been greater. How is climate change intensifying the risks and impacts of droughts? What do recent drought episodes reveal about the socio-economic and environmental costs of inaction? And how can countries strengthen their climate adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability, build resilience and mitigate long-term impacts?
Join us on 17 June 2025 for the launch of the new OECD report Global Drought Outlook: Trends, Impacts and Policies to Adapt to a Drier World. The report offers a global assessment of drought trends, drivers and impacts in the context of climate change, and examines how selected policies and practices across sectors can enhance drought resilience. Drawing from both successful adaptation efforts and persistent policy gaps, it provides actionable insights to guide decision-makers and support the efficient use of resources to address this escalating challenge.
The webinar will feature a panel of senior policymakers and provide a platform to discuss the OECDs latest findings and recommendations, as well as to exchange knowledge on drought resilience, policy innovations and opportunities in land and water management to adapt to a drier future.Shifting Grounds_ How Climate Change Forces Wildlife to Adapt by Amol Sahasra...

In the Arctic, melting ice is eliminating polar bears' primary hunting grounds, pushing them farther inland where food is scarce. At the same time, animals in tropical zones face different but equally dangerous challenges. Increased heat and changing rainfall patterns are making forests drier, increasing the risk of wildfires and reducing food availability for many herbivores.TIMES2JuMP project status report; Learnings on the feasibility of Migrating T...

This study evaluated the effects of integrating Black Soldier Fly (BSF) frass with inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield performance of hybrid corn. A field experiment was conducted using six treatments: T1-control, T2- recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer, T3- half rate of inorganic fertilizer, T4- recommended rate plus BSF frass, T5 half rate plus BSF frass, and T6- BSF frass alone. Results showed that T4 consistently recorded the highest values across key parameters, including plant height, ear length and diameter, ear weight, shelling percentage, and grain yield. T2 and T5 also performed significantly well, indicating that partial substitution of synthetic fertilizer with BSF frass can maintain high productivity. Notably, T5 achieved comparable yields to full-rate IOF, offering a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative. While BSF frass alone (T6) significantly improved growth and yield over the control, it was not sufficient to match IOF-inclusive treatments. The computed grain yield ranged from 6.51 tons/ha in the control to 12.82 tons/ha in T2, with T6 showing a 32% yield increase over T1. These findings highlight the agronomic potential of BSF frass as a complementary organic input that enhances nutrient efficiency, supports partial fertilizer replacement, and contributes to sustainable corn production. The use of BSF frass in integrated nutrient management strategies is therefore recommended to improve crop output while reducing chemical input dependency.

This presentation is not academic but part of my civic engagement.
It calls for a radical digital solution that uses capitalisms own logic to make much faster progress towards climate goals than is currently the case.
It first outlines the starting points and then presents a radical lifestyle change solution to accelerate the transformation of peoples consumption habits at a global level and thereby force a sustainability renewal of companies product and service portfolios.
The presentation will also provide a brief overview of the anticipated impacts and the significant challenges that may arise during the implementation process.
The presentation aims to spark a non-scientific debate that seeks innovative digital solutions to address the current climate crisis.
