Abstract: Last but not least, triggered by the outcome of COP 29, this article tries to answer the following three questions:
a)Can we still meet the goal, identified in the Paris Agreement, to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C?
b)Could we avoid dangerous climate change – characterized by a ‘hot house scenario’ - withou

Abstract: Genus Ansonia of the family Bufonidae, order Anura of amphibians in the Philippines is found only in Mindanao Island. Current classification bares only two species, A. mcgregori and A. muelleri. However, the differences represent individual variation rather than species differentiation. Otherwise proven, these species mus
Abstract: A great number of wastes are generated globally. Traditional disposal strategies have a detrimental effect on the environment as they are often burned in incineration plants or buried in landfills, adding to CO2 emissions and can be potentially carcinogenic. In a bid to repurpose waste products and ultimately reducing pollu
