The food system is one of the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet, making the reduction of emissions in this sector a priority for policymakers around the world. IIASA researchers explored the potential of carbon sequestration on farmland to combat climate change, offering insights into economic effects as well as its…
This report examines the extent of research on coastal erosion and the developing techniques for identifying shorelines in the Mediterranean region. The Insight Review consolidates findings from scientific literature, employing advanced remote sensing technologies, AI machine learning algorithms, and geospatial analytic methodologies. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of the issues encountered by Mediterranean coastlines…
This article aims to review the existing literature on the impact of climate change on Greece’s primary sector, focusing on sustainable management. Climate change has already caused and will persistently cause significant adverse impacts in various sectors due to environmental degradation, resource depletion, and extreme weather events. These impacts are evident in the natural environment,…
A new UMD-led study found that burying wood in the right environmental conditions can stop its decomposition and help curb carbon dioxide emissions. A new study published in the journal Science suggests that an ordinary old log could help refine strategies to tackle climate change. A team of researchers led by University of Maryland Atmospheric…
In the fight against climate change scientists have invented some weird and wonderful ways to cut greenhouse gases, stop glacier melt and shade the powerful rays of the sun to reduce the planet’s surface temperature. The future of Earth relies on humankind’s ability to curb our reliance on fossil fuels — and ultimately use fewer…
The study assesses the direct effects of climate change by 2060, including extreme events, on the productivity of regional crop farming and livestock in Greece, and the broader socio-economic effects on the agri-food and other sectors. Different approaches (i.e., agronomic models, statistical regression models, and equations linking thermal stress to livestock output) were combined to…
Wildfires can be considered as a natural part of many ecosystems, but their frequency and heightened risk have been notably influenced by climate change. This amplified threat poses a significant concern that necessitates further study on the properties and behavior of smoke particles. The 2023 was a year of intense wildfires worldwide with Greece experiencing…
Pamela Hallock, a biogeological oceanographer and Distinguished University Professor at the USF College of Marine Science (CMS), has spent her career studying the ocean. She leads the Reef Indicators Lab at CMS and is no stranger to the impacts of human activities on marine environments. Still, she couldn’t help but notice a bright spot in…
Today coastal erosion is usually exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change and results in the loss of income and cultural norms, as well as in the loss or degradation of ecosystem … >>> Tourlioti, P.N., Portman, M.E., Tzoraki, O., Pantelakis, I.

Tourism industry, one of the most dynamic industries worldwide is also one of the most vulnerable to crisis and disaster. This is mainly due to the fact that tourism is closely related and influenced by many external factors such as exchange rates, the political and economic environment, climate, and weather conditions. Tourism success is directly…
