ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ While much of the world adapts its agriculture to withstand the escalating climate crisis, some of Europe's most fertile regions are still dangerously dependent on outdated methods. In Croatia’s Osijek-Baranja County — a region with vast agricultural potential — the numbers are staggering: less than 3.2% of farmland is currently irrigated. And yet, this region is often referred to as a breadbasket of the country. Despite the evident shifts in rainfall patterns, prolonged droughts, and rising temperatures, decision-makers have been slow to implement systemic irrigation solutions. Reliance on rain-fed farming is not just risky; it's irresponsible. The soil is drying, yields are falling, and food security is increasingly compromised. This is not a crisis waiting to happen — it's already unfolding before our eyes. Meanwhile, Croatian farmers face a paradox. While they struggle with water scarcity on their fields, ...

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Both China and India have experienced increases in industrial pollution in recent years, though the picture is more complex than simple growth. Emissions are rising due to rapid industrial development, but both countries are also investing in cleaner energy solutions. China: Mixed Signals China remains the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide, contributing approximately 32% of global CO₂ emissions in 2024. Emissions rose slightly by 0.2%, driven by increased natural gas use and coal demand—especially in energy-intensive sectors like coal-to-chemicals. At the same time, China set records in wind, solar, and hydropower capacity additions. These investments helped stabilize emissions during the third quarter of 2024. Moreover, China’s clean tech exports—like solar panels and electric vehicles—surged, particularly to emerging markets. However, China missed its 2024 carbon intensity r...
