Why Carbon Sequestration in Forests must be Conserved

|

What Is Carbon Sequestration? Carbon sequestration refers to the decarbonisation technique that captures and stores carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) from the environment to mitigate climate change. This can occur naturally through forests, soils, and oceans or through technological solutions like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). During photosynthesis, trees absorb COâ‚‚ from […]

Smart Agriculture: AI-Powered Farming

|

Emerging agriculture farming has established the use of AI technology, particularly in developed countries. However, this is not the case in all developing countries (Singh & Kaur 2022). The United Nations estimates that there will be 9.7 billion people on earth by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for food (Putterill, 2023). Hence, policymakers in both

Fishing Communities at the Crossroads: Tradition vs. Survival

|

For thousands of years, the rhythmic sound of waves has drawn millions of people to the ocean’s edge, where fishing boats return each day carrying more than just their catch. They bear the hopes, traditions, and survival of entire coastal communities (Martino et al., 2023). From the bustling harbours of West Africa to the quiet

Bees, Food, & Future: How Declining Pollinators Threaten Global Nutrition

|

Why Bees Matter: Pollinators and Global Food Security Life on Earth as we know it is dependent on pollination (USDA, 2025). Without short-range pollinators, such as bees, we would not have crops, flowers, or food. The work pollinators do is extremely underrated and underappreciated. They are keystone species, meaning that without pollinators, ecosystems would collapse,

Industrial Runoff: The Teflon Scandal

|

What Is Industrial Runoff and Why Does It Matter? Industrial runoff is the discharge of chemical effluents into water sources, causing pollution. This pollution of water sources impacts both human and environmental health (Singh et al., 2023). Runoff commonly occurs in industrial and agricultural settings such as farms, factories, or mine sites. Industrial runoff is

Ocelots: The Night-time Battle for Survival

|

Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are small- to medium-sized felines found from the south of North America down through South America, extending to islands off the coast (ISEC, 2025). Ocelots are listed as endangered in North America, with population sizes unknown across parts of their range. They are prized for their coats, which feature a unique spotted

Innovating Sanitation Infrastructure for Thrivable Living

|

Innovating sanitation infrastructure is essential for creating sustainable living environments (Govindaswamy & Rangappa, 2023). Modern systems go beyond mere waste disposal; they help conserve water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect public health (WHO, n.d.). By integrating new technologies such as water recycling, renewable energy, and decentralised treatment, we can build resilient solutions that serve

Decentralised Healthcare: Hospitals Are Shrinking, And That Might Be Good for Your Health

|

the Age of the Mega-Hospital is ending For over a century, healthcare has revolved around big hospitals; massive central hubs where patients with almost every need are treated. That era is starting to wane. Around the world, we are seeing a shift toward tech-enabled, decentralised healthcare. Instead of mega-hospitals handling everything under one roof, healthcare

Smart Cities in Brazil vs. UAE: A Global Look at Urban Innovation

|

The 21st century faces many challenges, with rapid urbanisation and population growth at the forefront. By 2050, an estimated 68% of the world’s population is expected to reside in urban areas (Tijjani et al., 2025). Cities are struggling to manage these growing populations, often falling behind in planning and infrastructure. Smart cities have emerged as
