Technological developments which reduce global warming

The company is using historical fire data, existing physical simulations and real-time satellite observations to forecast wildfire risk at a hyperlocal level. SilviaTerra meanwhile is combining satellite imagery with machine learning to inventory forests more precisely while cutting the manual labour required, also enabled by Microsoft Azure.

The data collected through their technology can help conservationists and landowners manage and understand forests, including determining climate impacts, improving species habitats or promoting sustainable harvesting. So to keep global warming well below 2 degrees, ICT companies must make strong commitments to reducing their own emissions.

And some leading companies are going further still. This leadership group of CEOs and companies have each committed to producing a roadmap detailing how they will implement a science-based target to reduce their Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to keep warming below 1.

Through joining the Net-Zero by team, companies such as Salesforce also promise to advocate for policies that accelerate a just transition to net-zero GHG emissions by The World Health Organization WHO has said that climate change could increase deaths by air pollution by hundreds of thousands between and One of the big problems: congested cities. Hamburg is a case in point.

The teams behind these innovations and countless others are working around the clock for a better chance of saving our planet. Which ones do you think will help make a difference?

With a longer frost-free season, plants have more time to grow, bloom and produce pollen. Therefore, pollen will freely roam around much earlier, which will make the suffering season longer and the annual pollen load greater. Will it be the century of masks for air pollution and allergies? Heat not only makes us sweat; it also affects our health. By the end of this century three-quarters of the world's population is expected to be exposed to dangerous and deadly heat waves.

Rising temperatures mean an increase in diarrheal diseases, as it's easier for bacteria to multiply in warm food and water. Mosquito numbers will also likely go up, along with the spread of diseases like malaria. Soil in the region around the North Pole is increasingly thawing in the summer months, with dramatic local and global consequences. Warmer temperatures cause floors to become unstable and houses and roads to crack, and leads to many more insects.

Moreover, if permafrost — frozen soil — melts, it will release CO2 and methane gases that could further exacerbate global warming. It's a vicious circle. Temperature can influence the sex of several species.

For sea turtles, the heat of the sand where the eggs are incubated determines the sex of the newborn. Low temperatures benefit male turtles, while females develop better in warmer areas.

By understanding these needs we can determine how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change.

To determine their climate technology priorities, countries undertake technology needs assessments TNAs. A TNA supports national sustainable development, builds national capacity and facilitates the implementation of prioritized climate technologies. Since , more than 85 developing countries have undertaken TNAs to identify their technology needs for mitigation and adaptation.

Since , as part of their TNAs, developing countries have also developed technology action plans TAPs , which are concrete action plans for the implementation of their prioritized technology needs. What is technology development and transfer? What are climate technologies? What is technology transfer to support climate action?
