In the aftermath of COP26, temperature goes up
Another year is wasted by moving decisions ahead again, to COP27 at Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt. Ironically, it’s much warmer there than in Glasgow. Maybe that will put the heat on results a bit more.
Carbon tunnel vision: climate change needs an inter-connected response
If we achieve net-zero emissions yet overlook, because of carbon tunnel vision, human rights, or fail to safeguard biodiversity, what will this mean for the wellbeing of people and the planet?
The important benefits from transporting goods by hyperloop
The realization of a hyperloop network for goods between the provinces of North and South Holland in the Netherlands will cause a one-million-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions and could lead to a significant improvement in air quality. This is one of the main conclusions of the research conducted by Hardt Hyperloop. Transporting goods by hyperloop also […]
Crops globally will suffer from climate change within 10 years
Climate change may affect the production of crops like maize (corn) and wheat by 2030 if current trends continue, according to a new international study that included researchers from IIASA, NASA, and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). Maize crop yields are projected to decline by 24%, while wheat could potentially see growth […]
The third Urban Greenhouse Challenge is about creating social change
This year’s Urban Greenhouse Challenge will look at all the ways in which an urban farming site can tackle the lack of access to affordable and nutricious food.
This new process makes fertilizer from bioplastic
Japanese scientists produced fertilizer from bioplastic. Their findings pave the way towards sustainable circular systems that simultaneously address issues such as plastic pollution, petrochemical resource depletion, and world hunger.
