Climate change contributes to violence against children - here’s how
Professor Jenny Parkes, Associate Professor Simone Datzberger and Miss Lottie Howard-Merrill (Ioe, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society) discuss their new research in The Conversation on the links between climate change and violence against children. Every day of the northern hemisphere's summer in 2023 seems to bring a calamitous headline about the climate: heatwaves , wildfires , massive hailstorms.

Analysis: Nuclear war would be more devastating for Earth’s climate than cold war predictions
Professor Mark Maslin (UCL Geography) highlights in The Conversation research that used modern climate models to map the effects of a nuclear war, and which found the resulting nuclear winter would plunge the planet into a "nuclear little ice age" lasting thousands of years.

Significant changes needed across Welsh food system and land use to achieve net zero - report
Urgent and open debate is needed around Wales' food system in order to achieve net zero, academics at Cardiff University conclude. The Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) has published its response to the Wales Net Zero 2035 Challenge Group 's first challenge question ' How could Wales feed itself by 2035? ' The report examines the evidence and explores challenges facing the agricultural sector, which is set to be the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in 2035, as other sectors decarbonise more quickly.

Loud music festivals could reduce bat activity in some species by nearly 50 per cent
Researchers from the University of Bath and UWE investigated the possible effects of loud music festivals on bats' activity. Researchers from the University of Bath and the University of the West of England present the first evidence of the negative impacts of music festivals on bat activity, finding loud music playback alone is enough to cause significant disturbance to several bat species.

Public support hydrogen and biofuels to decarbonise global shipping
New research into public attitudes towards alternative shipping fuels shows public backing for biofuel and hydrogen. The study involving the University of Southampton also found that nuclear was preferred to the heavy fuel oil (HFO) currently used in the global shipping industry, although both were perceived negatively.
