Supply chains can amount to four times an organisation’s own operational carbon footprint.
Researchers found that palm oil plantations up to five years old were more harmful to the climate than already established ones.
A technological arms race in the 80s resulted in a world-first solar cell, that today underpins half the world’s solar power.
An innovative method of carbon capture and storage could substantially reduce the emission of small industries while using geothermal energy to heat homes and thus replacing fossil-fuel energies.
Real Christmas trees may be in short supply this year thanks to the 2008 economic downturn, climate change and insect infestations.
The Indonesian government has been distributing funds for village development. In 2019, the money can also be used for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Sport tips for the Ontario government on how to make good climate change policy.
Countries still figure out their emissions by adding up all the sources, rather than measuring what’s actually in the air.
Traffic congestion causes more problems than just being stuck in traffic. There are real effects on the health, quality of life and wallets of taxpayers.
Globally, emissions from air travel account for only about 3% of the warming human activities are causing, but aviation affects our climate in a number of ways.
Lakes are the final resting place for many of the Earth’s plants – and these organic graveyards are about to get a whole lot busier.
Measurements and modelling have found nitrous oxide emissions, a greenhouse gas 265 times more potent than carbon dioxide, are significantly higher than previously reported.
The cement needed to make concrete – the most widely used man-made material – is a major source of global emissions. Researchers are working on a green replacement that could transform the sector.
Hundreds of Canadian municipalities have declared climate emergencies but many have yet to take action.
As the share of renewable energies in the energy mix rises, policymakers must understand how renewable energies can influence electricity prices.
The atmosphere of Mars is more than 96% carbon dioxide, but the planet is cold because its atmosphere is extremely thin, very dry and further away from the Sun.
There is evidence for catastrophic climate change from protracted volcanic eruptions in the past, but since the 1950s the emissions we produce far exceed those from volcanic activity.
In New Zealand, where more than 80% of electricity is renewable, the carbon footprint of electric cars is 62% lower than that of fossil cars. But their lithium battery has other environmental impacts.
Conservatives share some of the same values as environmentalists. Tapping into these can help tackle climate change.
