The new prime minister may find that UK-China relations hold some answers to the climate challenge.
China is hesistant about taking over financial leadership over the global fight against climate change. Here’s why.
Access to rare earth minerals used to make electric cars and other green tech are likely to be high on the agenda in talks between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
Despite the challenges a second Trump administration will bring, Canada can continue to address climate change by working with sub-national leadership in the U.S.
The demand for the minerals needed to build clean energy technology currently exceeds the available supply. If this issue continues, governments may find it hard to reach their clean energy targets.
Green technologies like wind turbines and electric vehicles are moving centre stage in geopolitics.
A guide to understanding hybrid and electric vehicles and deciding which is most suitable for your lifestyle.
A key ingredient for a green future is currently derived from fossil fuels.
Critical minerals like cobalt, lithium and rare earth elements abound in Australia. But we’re not making the most of these in-demand resources.
Technologies like biomass gasification can help tackle the growing global problem of food waste.
Electric vehicle batteries, wind turbine generators and hydrogen fuel cells are among technologies likely to be affected by the conflict.
Quirks of our geology made Australia unusually abundant in coal. But as the world goes green, we can switch to vital clean mineral resources so coalminers aren’t left behind.
There are myriad benefits to recycling human waste but our reluctance seems to be based on distaste.
Realities on the ground tell a different story from the claim that a Green Revolution ensures food security and increased income for smallholder farmers in Ghana.
The maintenance required for renewable tech like windfarms can harm the environment. Robots are helping solve that.
Rare-earth metals are currently mined or recovered via e-waste recycling — methods with drawbacks including high cost, environmental damage, and risks to human safety. This is where we come in.
A study points to one way to speed up adoption of innovations in clean energy technology – more flexibility among state regulators.
Apple’s newest release comes without a wall charger and earpods. While the shift could reduce the company’s carbon footprint, users shifting to wireless charging will use more energy.
And why development funders should listen to smallholder farmers
