Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

This century, greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen oxides must be significantly reduced. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit infrared radiation that contributes to global warming, which can lead to irreversible negative consequences for humans and the environment. Greenhouse …

Climate change, driven by anthropogenic global warming, is having profound effects on marine ecosystems. The western Dutch Wadden Sea is particularly vulnerable to these changes due to its shallow and dynamic characteristics. Rising water temperatures and thermal fluctuations are known to influence the …

Supplemental instruction, also known as Peer Assisted Study Sessions (SI-PASS), is a well-established form of peer learning that has been implemented in higher education institutions across the globe and that coincides with learning gains for participants. While the effects on learning gains have been …

More frequently occurring droughts, related to climate change, lead to reduced growth and loss of vitality in trees. The recent drought of 2018 was extreme, long-lasting and resulted in high evaporative demands due to the concurrent high temperatures. The aim of this study was to compare the drought …

Light profoundly impacts many aspects of human physiology and behaviour, including the synchronization of the circadian clock, the production of melatonin, and cognition. These effects of light, termed the non-visual effects of light, have been primarily investigated in laboratory settings, where light …

Increased climate impacts threaten coastal functions globally, highlighting the need for multifunctional coastal climate adaptation. Sand nourishment can adapt sandy coasts to sea level rise, mitigate erosion, increase flood safety, enhance ecological habitats and expand recreational space. Therefore, …

The thesis investigates the effects of rising water consumption costs on small-scale farmers in Mathioya District, Murang’a County, Kenya. It aims to identify the challenges these farmers face due to the increased cost of water for consumption exacerbated by climate change and offers strategies for equitable …

This study, commissioned by the Ministry of Environment, Range and Climate Change (MoERCC) in Puntland, Somalia, investigates the key factors influencing the decision-making process of agropastoralists in Garowe district, Puntland State of Somalia, regarding sustainable fodder cultivation. The district …

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop a “risk resilience model” for agricultural SMEs, that prepares farmers to the effects of major environmental challenges like climate change and weather shocks. Methodology: Action research is the methodology used. It was based on a template for qualitative …
