Climate Action

s1735651 — 2025-08-20 23:52:54 UTC

Climate Action is the call for action to fight climate change. Climate change has its effects on multiple countries around the world. Climate change messes with national economies and affects lives. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/climate-action/

Extreme Heat

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 00:00:25 UTC

Due to climate change extreme heat is occurring all around the world. Industrial waste has caused there to be a lot of pollution to our atmosphere. Green house gases are trapped in our atmosphere that increase the heat of our planet. Wildfires and poor air quality adds fire to the mess.

Life on Land

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 03:09:44 UTC

Irreparable damage is done by humans to many forests that cause species extinction. This can mess up the balance of nature and makes the ecosystem vulnerable to disruptions. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/biodiversity/

How is land life important to our health?

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 03:29:59 UTC

There has been an increase in demand for protein, an increase in intense and unsustainable farming. This has caused there to be external use and exploration of wildlife. Additionally, climate crises have cause there to be animal diseases that can be harmful to humans. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/biodiversity/

Life Below Water

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 03:35:38 UTC

The goal is about conserving and sustainably using the oceans. A healthy ocean is crucial for life on earth. The ocean provides natural resources such as food, medicine, and other products. However, pollution in the ocean has reached high levels with over 17 million metric tons of trash floating in our oceans expected to double by the year 2040.

Why is it important?

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 03:45:46 UTC

Increasing levels of debris and plastic in our oceans is also having a major economic and environmental impact. The ocean has absorbed almost 100% of the excess heat in the climate system. Ocean heat is reaching record levels, this can cause global marine heatwaves. Record breaking heat in the ocean is causing damage to rich ecosystems and killing coral reefs. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/oceans/

What can we do?

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 03:55:24 UTC

Lots of movements are being done around the world, these organizations are trying to make our home clean. The world needs to change its energy, food, agriculture and forestry systems to have a more habitable planet. Climate change solutions can bring economic benefits while improving our lives and protecting our environment.

What can we do to support life on land?

s1735651 — 2025-08-21 20:15:07 UTC

Things we can do to support life on land would be recycling trash such as plastic. If we eat local based diets it can help maintain food and not overgraze. Society destroys ecosystems with urbanization. In order to help life on land we have to respect wildlife. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/biodiversity/

Deforestation in the Amazon

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 02:08:35 UTC

The Amazon Rainforest has lost over 23 million hectares of forest in the past five years. The Amazon has lost almost as much space as the whole U.K. Deforestation impacts climate stability but it impacts the habitats of animals and homes of local tribes as well. https://infoamazonia.org/en/2023/03/21/deforestation-in-the-amazon-past-present-and-future/

How can we help our oceans

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 02:17:36 UTC

Methods to help our oceans are responsible fishing, conserve water, reduce pollutants, reduce waste, and more. Responsible fishing helps marine ecosystems have a balanced population of fishes. Fishing irresponsibly has led to imbalance in ecosystems due to the importance of a fish's role in the ocean. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/ocean/help-our-ocean.html

Overfishing

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 02:35:58 UTC

The number of overfishing has tripled in half a century. This is a serious threat because it causes unnecessary loss of fish, turtles, and crustaceans. The damage overfishing does to marine ecosystems goes beyond the water. Many people around the world rely marine life as an economic source or food source. https://www.worldwildlife.org/threats/overfishing

Organizations that help life on land

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 03:02:55 UTC

These organizations want to help animals keep their homes. These animals have lived in their designated homes since their ancestors migrated there, because of this I believe they have every to stay and not be forced to migrate elsewhere. Animals play a role in their ecosystem that helps us yet we destroy their ecosystem. Country leaders need to establish laws that protect wildlife homes.

Organizations that help life below water

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 03:06:44 UTC

These organizations show that some of society wants to have a healthy planet. An unbalanced marine ecosystem is horrible for our oceans. There are fish that are being overfished that have an important in their ecosystem. Humans also pay the price as it is a great food and economic source.

Organizations that help with Climate Action

s1735651 — 2025-08-22 03:10:35 UTC

Our planet needs our help more than ever as we are the ones that are destroying it. These organizations want to keep our planet as healthy as possible. The rate that we are going at we will eventually have to find a new home as earth will become uninhabitable. I believe that there is still a probability to save our planet instead of finding a new home.

India World's largest plastic polluter

s1735651 — 2025-08-25 03:16:16 UTC

India is facing an environmental crisis; plastic pollution. India has become the world's largest contributor to plastic pollution responsible for almost 20% of the worlds total plastic waste. I will focus on this region and research organizations that want to help clean India. I want to research India because most people recognize it for its pollution rather than its historical landmarks or the positive impact it has had on the world. https://www.plasticsforchange.org/blog/india-emerges-as-the-worlds-largest-plastic-polluter-what-went-wrong-and-whats-next

Mediterranean Overfishing

s1735651 — 2025-08-25 03:27:04 UTC

The Mediterranean sea is the most overfished in the world, more than half of its fish stocks being at a high risk of being exhausted. Due to the Mediterranean popularity its important that we keep the sea life balanced in its waters, this is because people rely on the marine life for food and economic purposes. I want to research this because the Mediterranean is one of the most popular bodies of water in the world and its marine life is being exhausted. https://europe.oceana.org/press-releases/un-alert-mediterranean-worlds-most-overfished-sea/

Restoring the Atlantic Forest

s1735651 — 2025-08-25 03:54:11 UTC

More than 80% of the Forest that goes through Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay is gone due to agriculture, logging, and infrastructure. Restoration efforts are starting to fight the splitting of this biodiversity core. These efforts also come with strategies to preserve endangered species such as jaguars. "Reduced deforestation and the restoration of thousands of hectacres of former forest land has helped jaguar population rise by 160% since 2005." I want to research the Atlantic Forest because it's in the shadow of the Amazon Rainforest and doesn't get the recognition it deserves. https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/back-brink-six-species-saved-ecosystem-restoration

Overconsumption

s1735651 — 2025-08-25 04:08:34 UTC

The consequences of overconsumption are long-term future impacts. Researchers say that by 2050 polluted air will kill 3 times the people as it had in 2000. Pollution in our oceans is expected to quadruple, and global oil reserves are predicted to have been exhausted by 2052. If we continue to drain Earth's resources faster than they can be made we will eventually drain everything which can threaten our existence. Some of the consequences caused by overconsumption are already visible as there is 6.6 million tons of plastic waste that ends up in waters every year destroying coastal communities. Brazilian rainforest are destroyed to make lumber, or to make way for mining and agricultural development. I want to research overconsumption as its important to not that everything has an important and shouldn't be used excessively as its important to save what we can. https://sentientmedia.org/overconsumption/

Climate Change in the Arctic

s1735651 — 2025-08-25 04:23:34 UTC

Temperature in the Arctic rises at three times the annual average. Rising temperatures cause snow and ice to melt at an increasing rate. The changes in temperature mess with local ecosystems and the global climate system. Additionally, the melting ice adds to rising sea levels overtime coastal cities will be submerged. This shows the significance of raising awareness of Arctic climate change globally. I want to research Arctic climate change because of its significance to the world and were basically destroying our survivability if we continue to ignore the rising temperatures. https://arctic-council.org/explore/topics/climate/

Research question

s1735651 — 2025-09-03 18:29:45 UTC

Issue: Draining resources

Region: United States of America

Solution: Use of electrical energy instead of natural resources

How can oil companies in the U.S find other ways of giving energy to Americans without draining the world's natural resources?

Many companies want to start using renewable energy and more environmentally friendly methods. However, companies still use oil and gas but are also including clean energy into their solutions. Shell is one of the first major oil companies that are committing renewable energy. Shell has invested billions in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and electrical. https://evchargingsummit.com/blog/oil-companies-moving-toward-renewable-energy/

Saudi Arabia mass oil producer

s1735651 — 2025-09-04 20:10:43 UTC

Saudi Arabia is known as one of largest oil producers alongside America. Saudi Arabia plans on becoming less reliable on oil as an economic source. Saudi Arabia has found a new approach in investing into renewable energy. Through partnerships with China, Saudi Arabia has had fast progress with renewable energy. https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/saudi-arabias-renewable-energy-initiatives-and-their-geopolitical-implications/
