Billionaires have carbon footprints hundreds of times higher than the average American. Two scholars tried to put a number on it.
Researchers are developing ways to lock captured CO2 into cement. It could help rebuild America’s crumbling infrastructure and deal with climate change at the same time.
Canada and Norway face epic challenges in weaning themselves from petroleum dependence.
No-one says reducing emissions from the agriculture sector will be easy. But it must be done, or farmers will suffer the most.
Australia has a lot of work to do to overcome the challenges facing electric vehicles users, starting with the lack of a comprehensive national charging network.
Can we work together to answer global challenges, or will national agendas get in the way?
You might be surprised to find yourself in the company of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the world’s richest 1%. This has big implications for planetary survival.
Training neural networks burns through a lot of energy. As the AI field grows, it’s working to keep its carbon foot print from growing with it.
If a major new study is right, then even our most cautious climate projections have likely been optimistic.
Our new study shows that cutting emissions now will bring benefits sooner than expected.
Bold visions for slowing global warming have emerged from all over the world. What’s not clear is how countries will meet them.
Canada is already behind on tackling climate change and catching up will be expensive, but relying on carbon capture technologies is risky and expensive.
Changes to the way houses and other buildings are constructed could lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Because pledges alone won’t achieve net zero.
Fast fashion is far from green. But the rapid expansion of online clothing resale platforms could help shrink the garment industry’s negative impact on the environment.
Health and scientific leaders mustn’t waste this opportunity to shape the future for the better.
The effects of climate change and mitigation are not just unequal between countries but also within countries.
Green diesel may be intended to reduce emissions but it is not necessarily environmentally and socially sound.
Universities are vital hubs of research and teaching on climate change and, as big organisations, produce significant emissions themselves. They should therefore lead action to limit climate change.
