China experienced both extreme heat and “devastating” floods this summer, which had an impact” on food supplies and rice crops. This Carbon Brief article on how climate change is affecting China’s cropland, looks at arable land policies and potential impacts of climate on food security. Official Chinese data shows that at least 1.9m hectares (19,000km2) or 8% of wheat land in China have been affected by a sustained spate of rains – with […]

China’s agricultural scientists protect ecology and improve farmers’ income While Lake Erhai has received much attention for its ecological preservation, the Lake basin has also suffered from high pollution, high deposits of nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil, and low agricultural yields. In the past, the protection efforts for the Erhai Lake were not coordinated with agricultural development, and farmers’ income suffered. Village Science and Technology Backyard Professor Zhang decided […]
Professor José Seoane from the University of Buenos Aires writes: In 2023, different climatic anomalies have been recorded that set new historical records in the tragic progression of climate change at the global level. Thus, in June, the surface temperature in the North Atlantic reached the maximum increase of 1.3 degrees Celsius with respect to preindustrial values. In a similar direction—although in lower values—the average temperature of the seas at […]
Virtual Power Plants meet growing demand for clean energy China’s move towards a more sustainable energy mix has seen a rise in the construction of virtual power plants. These plants use advanced technologies and software systems to collect data of electricity generated from distributed sources, such as rooftop solar power facilities, power storage systems, and electric vehicles. The significance of virtual power plants is that they manage the energy flow […]
