Climate change could significantly worsen urban water affordability by increasing infrastructure costs and household water bills by midcentury, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Sustainability on July 8, 2026.

Trees do not necessarily keep growing for as long as they keep photosynthesizing. This was what a new study published in Science Advances is trying to establish. Researchers found that oak trees continue absorbing carbon dioxide well after their annual growth has ended, suggesting forests may store less carbon in wood than many climate models.
~Abhishek Vij Last week, in his 135th episode of “Mann Ki Baat,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the unprecedented climate change. He said that countries around the world are facing the resulting natural disasters, but the world lacks a coherent plan to control them.

Human-driven climate change made the meteorological conditions behind the June 2026 western European heatwave up to 2.5°C warmer than they would have been during 1950 to 1987, exposing about 327 million people and nearly $15.6 trillion worth of economic activity to intensified heat, according to a new analysis, while governments across Asia and the Pacific.
A comprehensive six-year data analysis (2021-2026) has revealed that ground-level ozone (O3) has expanded beyond isolated, short-lived spikes to become a widespread, yearround urban and regional problem in different regions of the country — and Delhi-NCR is emerging as the largest regional hotspot.
