Climate change is prompting Sicilian farmers to give up their land to host photovoltaic and agrovoltaic systems, potentially threatening food sovereignty. Elena Giorgianni, a naturopath and farmer, resits the trend by beginning to grow exotic fruits organically in the hills around Messina. Taking advantage of new weather conditions and the demand for high-quality Italian exotic fruits, she is pioneering an approach that balances environmental sustainability with consumer preferences.

Vendors sell ice in the world's hottest city, Jacobabad, Sindh.-Pakistani vendors load ice onto carts to be transported for sale in local markets in Jacobabad on April 14, 2023. Ice vendors in Jacobabad say they are selling more every year.These days, heat waves are sweeping across India and Pakistan. A 2022 World Bank report stated: "Soon India could become one of the first countries in the world to experience heat waves that are not survivable." Amnesty International has written that Jacobabad is "uninhabitable for humans" because of the heat.

Mangrove forests that surround this area like Bau Ca Cai in coastal Vietnam's Quang Ngai Province are an important shield against destructive typhoons that rock the coast each year. Unfortunately, mangrove trees have been depleted over the years by population growth, climate change, and increased use of water for fish farming. This project which is sponsored by Green Climate Fund and UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) in Quang Ngai (Viet Nam), is named “Strengthening resilience to the impacts of climate change for vulnerable communities along Viet Nam’s coast”

In my nearly two decades of big tree hunting in British Columbia, this is the most mind-blowing tree I’ve ever come across. The gargantuan western redcedar measures over 5 m (17 ft) wide near its base and 46 m (151 ft) tall. Given its size, it’s likely well over a thousand years old. Thankfully, the Ahousaht First Nation just established a series of conservancies which will protect the majority of the old-growth forests in their territory, including the ancient forest where this tree is found. Here, Ahousaht Hereditary Representative Tyson Atleo stands at the base of the tree for scale.

Roxane Boonstra examines a “tree” of healthy elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) at the Coral Restoration Foundation’s Tavernier nursery, the world’s largest underwater coral nursery. The (2023) summer’s extreme marine heat wave caused a mass coral bleaching event in the Florida Keys, a reef area that had already declined by 90 percent due to disease and past heat waves. https://pulitzercenter.org/projects/uncertain-future-americas-most-iconic-coral-reef

On August 26th, 2023, Lia Matondo, a farmer, poses in front of a piece of forest that he has just cleared and burned, in Buda, a village in the Kongo Central province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about 120km southwest of Kinshasa. The harvested wood will be used to produce charcoal for the Kinshasa market. Slash-and-burn agriculture and charcoal production represent the two main causes of deforestation in the Congo Basin.

Caselle Landi, Lodi - Un lavoratore agricolo è seduto nel campo pronto ormai alla semina. Egli lavora all'installazione di un impianto a goccia permanente in un campo della Bassa Lodigiana.

BRA0x. MANACAPURU (BRASIL), 27/09/2023 - El barquero Paulo Monteiro da Cruz, de 49 años, navega en su embarcación entre decenas de miles de peces muertos por el calor y la acidez del agua en la Reserva de Desarrollo Sostenible Lago do Piranha en Manacapuru, Amazonas, Brasil. Los peces mueren debido a la grave sequía en la región de la cuenca del Amazonas. De los 62 municipios del estado de Amazonas, 59 se encuentran afectados por la ribera del río. Según la Defensa Civil del estado, más de 80 mil personas están afectadas por la sequía. Según Defensa Civil, la previsión es que, debido a la influencia del fenómeno climático de El Niño, que inhibe la formación de nubes de lluvia, la secuencia de este año será prolongada y más intensa, en comparación con años anteriores.
