The challenge is not so much to integrate sustainable development into engineering or management education as to teach engineering and management for sustainable development.
Texas wasn’t prepared to keep the lights on during Winter Storm Uri, and it won’t be ready for future cold weather unless it starts thinking about energy demand as well as supply.
An elaborate scheme to shade Earth with millions of tonnes of Moon dust floating in space is unlikely to get off the ground.
The swamp has not yet been drained everywhere.
New Zealand is considering a plan to tax methane from cows. But while cows and cars both emit greenhouse gases, they don’t have the same impact over time.
The mine was not refused on climate change grounds. So without legal reform, other fossil fuel projects may still go ahead.

We’re rarely aware of a company’s full environmental footprint.
If there’s an unprecedented heatwave outside, do you turn up the aircon and pretend unwelcome change isn’t happening? If so, you’re not alone
As we modernise Australia’s power grid, we should look to superconducting cables to save energy, cut emissions and future-proof the system
Atmospheric rivers can melt fragile new sea ice. When these storms arrive in waves, the sea ice doesn’t have a chance to recover.
Airlines are investing in sustainable biofuel startups and starting to uses alternative fuels, including cooking oil, ag waste and corn ethanol. But biofuels alone won’t be enough, research shows.
Lake Powell’s existential crisis is a unique opportunity to save a treasured landscape.
Building too close to cliffs and slopes, weak soils, lack of vegetation and increased rainfall all played a part in the massive storm damage to Auckland. The city needs to change the way it uses land.
