Zimbabwe’s climate action plan is on track to check emissions and promote development. Other countries can learn from it.
It’s not just ocean temperatures that determine whether we have El Niño or La Niña. Air circulation also plays a role, and it’s changing in unexpected ways.
We can construct buildings that reduce atmospheric CO₂ by more than their lifetime emissions. They now don’t cost much more – and a project involving 1.2 million homes would drive costs down further.
Taxing consumption that contributes to climate change hits the poor the hardest, while overlooking the huge profits tied to greenhouse gas emissions.
Humans (particularly those in the Northern Hemisphere) generally prefer the heat, a bias which has hampered effective climate communications for decades.
Figuring out who is responsible for cutting a city’s emissions and how their efforts will be coordinated is complicated.
Air travel emissions are proving difficult and costly to cut, but travellers can make a surprisingly big difference simply by changing how they travel to and from the airport.
Regulating greenhouse gas emissions is an important part of Canada’s strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, a newly published study illustrates why enforcing regulation is key.
How much does human behavior influence climate change? Can it be changed, and how? In June, climate change experts and behavioral scientists came together to answer these important questions.
Australia has a lot of wind and sun, but will we actually become a world leader in renewable energy generation?
International shipping is a big contributor to climate change, and it doesn’t change quickly, but its companies are starting to invest in cleaner fuels.
Victoria has a plan for the state to electrify, but how do we make the transition fair and equitable for everyone? New research suggests a way forward.
Returns cost companies billions of dollars in lost sales. They also generate emissions and packaging waste. Two logistics experts offer some tips from psychology for more sustainable returns.
Internal combustion engine cars still dominate global sales – it could be to do with the emotive influence they hold over drivers.
Europe is gripped by a heatwave called Cerberus - it may be a sign of things to come.
Growing ship numbers and reductions in the industry’s total emissions add up to big emission cuts per ship – as much as 60% by 2030 and 91% by 2040. The days of fossil-fuelled ships are now numbered.
Can planting trees help us solve the climate crisis? Probably, but to what extent?
A new study estimates a reduction in emissions of only 35-45% of pre-COVID levels by 2050. Lighter vehicles and faster uptake of electric vehicles can dramatically improve progress towards net zero.
The strong trade relationship with the EU means policy changes like the border tax may have disproportionately significant effects on African economies.
