The US mustn’t make the mistake of tackling these threats separately – or of trying to take a unilateral approach.
Nigeria’s religious leaders can shape the environmental worldviews and behaviour of their congregations
Permanently protecting large, mature forests is a faster and cheaper way to stabilize Earth’s climate than complex carbon capture and storage schemes, and more effective than planting new trees.
Given its environmental damage, tourism must seriously reconsider its purpose in a post-pandemic world.
Scientists have uncovered evidence of a global paleopocalyspe.
Year round local food production is within our grasp, and will slash agriculture’s climate impact — but only if we embrace agricultural technology.
Plus, researchers recommend four environmental citizen programs to join. It’s never been easier.
A new report pushes for a modern tourism model, including the introduction of airport departure taxes, to enhance New Zealand’s competitive advantage in a climate-conscious world.
An academic expert in environmental storytelling reads the Sun and the Express.
When natural habitats are isolated it means species are less able to migrate, leading to less genetic variation and species diversity.
Heat waves, droughts and deep freezes can all strain the electric grid, leading utilities to impose rolling blackouts. Climate change is likely to make these events more common.
As our cities get hotter, rebuilding whole suburbs better suited to the heat is not an option. Instead, we can draw from the best examples of how to adapt neighbourhoods and behaviours.
Billionaires have carbon footprints hundreds of times higher than the average American. Two scholars tried to put a number on it.
Investment in renewable electricity needs bipartisan political support and some bold decisions if New Zealand is to meet its future energy commitments.
