China’s low-cost solar panels are bringing light and hope to Palestinians living under the shadow of war in Gaza. In Gaza’s refugee camps, besieged by Israeli occupation forces, one of the most crucial survival tools may come as a surprise: solar panels. While food and water are essential to life, in Gaza, a city under siege, electricity means something more for local people. This is because fresh food and clean water require […]
PM2.5 DECLINING IN CHINA SAYS WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANISATION World in a vicious cycle of climate change, wildfires and air pollution – causing spiraling negative impact on human health, ecosystems and agriculture, says WMO. Fine particle air pollution declined in China last year as emissions linked to human activity dropped, the UN’s World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said in its State of the Global Climate 2023 report published this week. Nanoparticles known as PM2.5 […]
There have been more voices than ever before expressing concerns about global food security. Some Western media outlets have recently published articles claiming that the world’s major grain-producing regions, including China, have experienced more frequent extreme weather events due to global warming, posing a threat to crop output.Concerns regarding China’s food security ave been raised. However, given the current situation, China is fully capable of ensuring food security for its […]
Chinese scientists use AI to detect unreported carcinogenic chemical pollution. Potentially carcinogenic chemicals are prevalent worldwide and going unreported, according to Chinese scientists who identified unknown “forever chemicals” in the environment with the help of machine learning. The non-biodegradable “forever chemicals” – named for their persistence in the environment – became widely used around the world in all kinds of products – including non-stick pans, food packaging, and waterproof and […]
Greening the Silk Road: China’s contributes sustainable water saving technology to improve harvest and ecosystem in Central Asia’s Aral Sea Once the world’s fourth-largest lake, the Aral Sea, located between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, has shrunk remarkably since 1960 — with its surface area dwindling from 67,000 square km in 1960 to just 6,000 in 2020. Farmland expansion, rising temperatures and a lack of water-saving technology caused the sea to shrink […]
On March 20, 2024, the State Council of China issued the “Regulations on Water Conservation”, which is the first national-level regulations on water conservation in China. The Regulations will take effect on May 1, 2024. The regulations determine rules on water use management, including setting water use quotas for major crops, industrial products and service sector, controlling annual water use amounts within administrative regions, and restricting water-intensive projects in regions with severe […]
More accurate predictions expected to enhance disaster prevention, mitigation efforts. Chinese scientists have recently proposed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based model to address streamflow and flood forecasting at a global scale for both gauged and ungauged catchments which remains one of the long-standing challenges in hydrology, given that more than 95 percent of small- and medium-sized watersheds worldwide do not have any monitoring data. In light of global climate change, the […]
A recent study published in the journal Environmental Science and Ecotechnology has revealed a significant decline in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from human activities in China since 2020. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) form aerosols and ozone in the atmosphere and are significant contributors to air pollution, acid rain and climate change. The research was conducted by a team of scientists from China and France. The study employed satellite observations and air quality modeling […]

Heat wave is affecting hundreds of millions of people across East Asia (including China) and South East Asia A punishing heat wave is affecting hundreds of millions of people across East Asia (including China) and South East Asia, with monthly and all-time temperature records falling repeatedly. And the heat shows no signs of slowing. The heat, exacerbated by climate change, is proving relentless and fatal in many areas. Studies on […]
