    ICAR-Indian Institute of Spices Research (ICAR-IISR) in Kozhikode has developed a granular lime-based Trichoderma formulation, named ‘Tricholime’. Led by a team of innovative scientists including Dr. V Srinivasan, Dr. R Praveena, Dr. R Dinesh, and Dr. S J Eapen, this formulation marks a significant advancement in agricultural technology.

  • European Court of Human Rights Delivers Landmark Ruling on Climate Change and Human Rights Violations

    In a groundbreaking decision on Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) tackled a pivotal question: can insufficient government action on climate change constitute a human rights violation? The court's rulings on three cases could set a precedent with far-reaching implications for climate activists across Europe.

    The ECHR's ruling singled out Switzerland for its dull efforts in meeting emission reduction targets, deeming them woefully inadequate. This marks the first time the court has directly addressed the issue of global warming, signaling a significant shift in legal discourse surrounding climate change.

  • New Strategy Predicts Climate Change Impact on Food Production and Financial Institutions

    Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy developed a strategy to predict the financial impacts of climate change on agriculture in an innovative study that was published on March 8, 2024, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their findings could provide crucial support for ensuring food security and financial stability in regions increasingly vulnerable to climate-related disasters.
